FS SMLCDX, 2m LC to LC UPC Duplex, Single Mode (OS2), Fiber Patch Cable

Tired of slow, unreliable connections in your data center? The FS SMLCDX, 2m LC to LC UPC Duplex, Single Mode (OS2) Fiber Patch Cable is the fix you need. This cable links two network points with high-speed single-mode fiber, delivering crystal-clear signals for long-haul links. If you have dropped packets, frequent reconnections, or costly downtime, you need a cable that keeps the light path stable and loss-free. The SMLCDX model gives you exactly that.

FS SMLCDX, 2m LC to LC UPC Duplex, Single Mode (OS2), Fiber Patch Cable

Network engineers often struggle with signal loss caused by poor connectors or low-grade fiber. That loss reduces bandwidth and can cause errors in critical applications. The problem matters because every lost bit can mean slower data, missed transactions, or unhappy customers. The FS SMLCDX solves this by using premium G.657.A1 fiber, low-insertion loss connectors, and a tight-buffered design that resists bending. The result is a reliable, high-performance link that meets modern data-center standards.

Benefits

• Very low loss (< 0.3 dB) keeps your bandwidth at peak levels.
• Durable LC UPC duplex connectors survive 1,000 mating cycles.
• Riser-rated (OFNR) jacket meets fire-safety codes for building installations.
• Flexible 2 mm OD cable bends easily around equipment without breaking.
• Wide temperature range (-10 °C to 70 °C) works in most indoor environments.

Usages

The FS SMLCDX is perfect for connecting switches, routers, and servers in a data center rack. Use it to link two fiber panels in a telecom closet, or to run a short hop between a patch panel and an optical transceiver. It also works well in campus networks where a 2 m run connects indoor equipment to a nearby fiber distribution point. Because it is single-mode OS2, it supports long-distance wavelengths (1310 nm and 1550 nm) while still delivering excellent performance over short runs.
