Yellow simplex fibre cable with two blue LC connectors

STARTECH

STARTECH SPSMLCLCOS23M 3m LC to LC OS2 Single Mode Simplex Fibre Optic Cable

SKU CH-E36J-EM4J2

A 3 m LC-to-LC OS2 single-mode simplex cable for 40 Gbps and 100 Gbps links with 9/125 µm bend-insensitive fibre and low insertion loss

  • 3m OS2 simplex cable supports 40G/100G links
  • LC/UPC connectors deliver low insertion loss
  • 9/125µm bend-insensitive fibre eases tight routing
  • LSZH jacket reduces smoke in fire risk areas
  • 8ft length fits standard rack-to-panel runs

3m LC/LC OS2 Simplex Cable

This three-metre single-mode patch cord uses LC/UPC connectors on both ends and a 9/125 µm bend-insensitive fibre core. It is built for high-speed backbone links in data-centre, campus or enterprise networks. The LSZH jacket meets low-smoke, zero-halogen safety requirements.

Suits long-haul single-mode links.

Network engineers extending OS2 infrastructure over ten-gigabit, forty-gigabit or hundred-gigabit paths will find the insertion-loss specification appropriate. Installers needing OM3/OM4 multimode compatibility, duplex polarity management or armoured outdoor-rated cable should select a different product family.

9/125 µm core decides single-mode reach

The nine-micron core diameter confines light to a single propagation path, enabling the forty-gigabit and hundred-gigabit throughput ratings over kilometres rather than metres. If the link design calls for a fifty-micron or sixty-two-point-five-micron multimode core, this cable will not function.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the 9/125 µm simplex link is performing correctly after installation?

Connect a compatible light source and power meter to the LC/UPC connectors and measure insertion loss at the standard OS2 wavelengths; the result should fall within the OS2 specification for the 3 m length.

What connectors and cable are included, and is anything else required to complete the link?

The cable arrives with LC/UPC connectors on both ends of a 9/125 µm OS2 simplex fibre in a 3 m LSZH jacket; you only need matching LC/UPC ports on your transceivers or patch panels.

Which OS2 single-mode simplex length should I select for a 9.8 ft run?

Choose the 3 m version — it provides exactly 9.8 ft of 9/125 µm OS2 simplex fibre with LC/UPC terminations for that distance.
