The StarTech.com 2m (6.6ft) LC to LC (UPC) OS2 Single Mode Duplex Fiber Optic Cable delivers low-loss, bend-insensitive connectivity for 100 Gbps CWDM links, so you get stable performance without the hassle of frequent re-terminations.

Usages of a 2m Fiber Optic Cable

Ideal for short runs between servers, switches and patch panels in data centres or high-density office closets, this 2 m cable fits neatly into tight spaces while supporting CWDM wavelengths from 1260 nm to 1625 nm. It’s perfect for linking equipment that demands high-speed, single-mode transmission without sacrificing flexibility.

Benefits of StarTech.com Fiber Optic Cable

• Low insertion loss: under 0.3 dB, ensuring maximum signal strength.
• High return loss: 55 dB, reducing reflections for clearer data flow.
• Bend-insensitive design: tight 10 mm radius bends without performance loss.
• LSZH jacket: emits minimal smoke and toxic fumes, enhancing safety in confined areas.
• Lifetime warranty: peace of mind with guaranteed reliability.

Choosing this cable means you avoid the pitfalls of older PC-polished connectors and generic patch cords. The UPC-polished LC ends give superior return loss, while the ceramic ferrules guarantee precise alignment for consistent performance. Its LSZH jacket meets strict fire-safety codes, making it suitable for industrial sites, transport vehicles and residential installations where low-smoke materials are required.

The cable’s OS2 single-mode core (9 µm) exceeds ITU-T G652.D/G657.A1 standards, delivering low attenuation across the full CWDM spectrum. Backward compatibility with OS1 networks means you can integrate it into existing infrastructures without costly upgrades, while still preparing for future 100 Gbps demands.
