Yellow simplex fibre cable with LC connectors at both ends, 10 metre length

STARTECH

STARTECH SPSMLCLCOS210M 10m LC to LC OS2 Simplex Fibre Optic Cable 9/125 LSZH

SKU CH-TP2R-FGC1Z

Connects single-mode networks with LC duplex ends, supports 40G and 100G speeds, and uses low-smoke zero-halogen jacket for safety

  • 10 metre reach connects distant network gear
  • LC to LC simplex connectors fit single-mode transceivers
  • OS2 9/125 µm core supports 40 Gbps and 100 Gbps links
  • Low insertion loss preserves signal integrity over the run
  • LSZH jacket reduces smoke and halogen emissions in fire

10m LC to LC OS2 Single-Mode Simplex Cable

This 10-metre simplex fibre optic cable uses LC/UPC connectors on both ends and a 9/125 µm OS2 single-mode core. It is built for long-distance links in enterprise networks, campus backbones and data-centre interconnects where a single transmit or receive strand is required. The LSZH jacket meets low-smoke, zero-halogen safety requirements for indoor routing.

OS2 Single-Mode Distance and Bandwidth Limits

OS2 single-mode fibre supports 40 Gbps and 100 Gbps Ethernet over far longer reaches than multimode alternatives, but the achievable distance depends on the transceiver optics and link budget, not on the cable alone. Insertion loss, connector polish quality and total channel attenuation set the practical ceiling for each deployment. The simplex construction carries traffic in one direction only, so a second cable is needed for full-duplex operation.

Simplex LC/UPC Connector Configuration

The cable terminates in LC/UPC connectors on each end, providing a single optical path rather than a paired duplex link. This makes it suitable for patch-panel cross-connects, WDM wavelength channels or any architecture that routes transmit and receive fibres separately. Verify that your equipment expects simplex LC/UPC terminations before ordering.

Questions about this item

Is the 10 m length the right choice for my rack-to-rack run?

The cable is 10 m (32.8 ft) long, so measure the path between your two LC ports and add slack for routing; if the distance is significantly shorter or longer, choose a different length.

What real-world throughput can I expect from the 40G/100G rating?

The OS2 single-mode 9/125 µm fibre with UPC polish supports 40 Gb/s and 100 Gb/s Ethernet links; actual throughput depends on the transceivers and switch ports you connect at each end.

Does the LC UPC simplex connector work with my existing duplex patch panel?

This is a simplex cable with one LC/UPC connector per end; a duplex panel needs two simplex cables or a duplex zip-cord assembly to populate both Tx and Rx ports.
