Struggling with unreliable data links in high-speed networks? A 2m Fiber Optic Cable gives you a direct, low-loss connection that keeps your 40 Gbps or 100 Gbps signals strong and stable, perfect for modern data centres and enterprise backbones.
Key Features of a 2m Fiber Optic Cable
- Connector type: LC/UPC male on both ends. Easy plug-and-play connection for single-mode equipment.
- Fiber type: OS2 single-mode. Supports long-reach transmission and CWDM wavelengths from 1260-1625 nm.
- Insertion loss: ≤ 0.3 dB. Guarantees minimal signal loss across the patch.
- Return loss: 55 dB. Reduces reflections for clearer data flow.
- Core diameter: 9 µm. Matches standard single-mode infrastructure.
- Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH). Safer installation in confined or ventilated spaces.
- Bend radius: 10 mm. Allows tight routing without performance loss.
- Length: 2 m (6.6 ft). Ideal for patching between nearby devices.
- Warranty: Limited lifetime. Confidence that the cable will perform for the life of your system.
StarTech.com Fiber Optic Cable
If you manage a network that relies on high-capacity links, you know how frustrating it can be to chase down intermittent drops or weak signals. Many users settle for generic cables that lack proper polishing or use hazardous jackets, leading to fire concerns and frequent replacements. This StarTech.com solution is built for the exact challenges you face, offering precise ceramic ferrules, UPC polishing and a fire-safe LSZH jacket, so you can install it confidently in data centres, industrial plants or even transport environments.
Benefits of StarTech.com Fiber Optic Cable
- High performance: Low insertion loss means your bandwidth stays at peak levels.
- Future proof: Supports CWDM across a wide wavelength range, ready for upgrades.
- Safety first: LSZH jacket limits smoke and toxic fumes in case of fire.
- Easy installation: Standard LC connectors and tight bend radius simplify routing.
- Longevity: Lifetime warranty assures you won’t need frequent replacements.
Usages of a 2m Fiber Optic Cable
A 2m Fiber Optic Cable is perfect for connecting single-fiber patch panels to SFP transceivers, linking fibre NICs in servers, or creating short runs between switches in a rack. Its bend-insensitive design also makes it suitable for cramped installations in industrial equipment, train carriages or aircraft where space is limited and safety standards are strict.
