SKU CH-WXRZ-RHXBX MPN SMLCSCOS230M

30 metre LC to SC single-mode duplex fibre cable rated for 100 Gbps links with bend-insensitive 9/125 µm cores and low-smoke zero-halogen jacket

  • 30 m reach connects distant network nodes
  • LC to SC UPC ends fit mixed patch panels
  • OS2 single-mode core carries 100 G traffic
  • 9/125 µm bend-insensitive fibre eases tight routing
  • LSZH jacket reduces smoke in fire scenarios

30-metre OS2 duplex fibre cable

This 30-metre StarTech SMLCSCOS230M is a duplex single-mode fibre optic cable built for long-distance network links. It terminates in LC to SC connectors with UPC polishing for low insertion loss. The LSZH jacket suits indoor installations where fire safety regulations apply.

OS2 single-mode 9/125 µm core

The cable uses OS2 single-mode glass with a 9/125 µm core/cladding diameter, rated for 100G transmission. Bend-insensitive fibre reduces signal loss on tight routing paths. UPC ferrules keep back-reflection low for reliable high-speed links.

Suited for campus and data-centre runs

Network engineers extending single-mode links between buildings or racks will match this length and connector pairing. Installers needing multimode fibre, angled-polish connectors or a different cable length should select an alternative part.

Questions about this item

What does the 100G rating mean for a 30-metre run in my rack?

The cable is specified for 100 Gbps transmission over the full 30-metre length using OS2 single-mode fibre with UPC-polished LC and SC connectors.

What does the OS2 single-mode duplex standard cap in practice?

OS2 single-mode duplex supports long-distance 100 Gbps links; the practical limit is set by transceiver power budget rather than the cable itself.

What physical space do the LC and SC connectors need to fit in a patch panel?

Each end uses a standard LC duplex clip on one side and an SC duplex clip on the other, both UPC polished, requiring typical duplex cut-outs in the panel.
