StarTech 5m LC-to-SC OS2 duplex cable

This nine-micron single-mode patch cord ships with LC and SC UPC connectors at each end. The yellow LSZH jacket meets low-smoke requirements for indoor routing. It is built for 100 G links where OS2 performance is specified.

Installers joining LC

Technicians terminating OS2 backbone or patch-panel runs will match the connector mix and fibre type. Anyone needing multimode 50/125 µm or a different connector combination should select another cable.

9/125 µm core-cladding size

The nine-micron core diameter defines single-mode transmission and determines compatibility with OS2 transceivers. Confirm that your equipment specifies this core size before ordering.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 5m LC to SC OS2 duplex cable without damaging the connectors?

Remove dust caps, inspect end-faces with a fibre scope, clean with a lint-free wipe and isopropyl alcohol if needed, then insert each connector straight into its port until it clicks.

What maintenance will this OS2 duplex jumper need over time?

Periodic end-face inspection and cleaning with a lint-free wipe and isopropyl alcohol; replace the cable if insertion loss exceeds the link budget or connectors show physical damage.

What limit appears first on a 100G link using this 9/125 µm OS2 cable?

At 100G the 10 dB channel insertion-loss budget is typically reached before the 25 km OS2 distance rating becomes a factor.
