StarTech.com 30m (98.4ft) SC to SC (UPC) OS2 Single Mode Simplex Fiber Cable

Struggling with weak signals and frequent downtime on long-run data links? The StarTech.com 30m (98.4ft) SC to SC (UPC) OS2 Single Mode Simplex Fiber Cable delivers a reliable, high-speed connection for 40G/100G networks, letting you extend your infrastructure without sacrificing performance. Its single-mode design and low-loss connectors keep your data flowing cleanly over distances that would cripple ordinary cables.

Key Features of a 30m Fiber Cable

• Connector type: SC/UPC male on both ends. Provides precise alignment and excellent return loss for stable connections.
• Fiber type: OS2 single-mode. Supports long-distance transmission with minimal attenuation.
• Core diameter: 9 µm. Ensures tight light confinement for high-bandwidth signals.
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH). Reduces toxic fumes in fire, ideal for confined or public spaces.
• Insertion loss: ≤ 0.3 dB. Guarantees very low signal loss, preserving data integrity.
• Return loss: 55 dB. Minimises reflected light, improving overall link quality.
• Bend radius: 10 mm. Allows tight routing around corners without performance loss.
• CWDM support: 1260-1625 nm wavelength range. Enables multiplexing of multiple channels on a single fibre.
• Compatibility: Works with simplex patch panels, SFP transceivers and fiber NICs, and is backward compatible with OS1 networks.
• Warranty: Limited lifetime warranty. Gives you peace of mind with long-term support.

Why Choose StarTech.com Fiber Cable

If you manage data centres, telecom rooms or high-performance computing clusters, you know that every decibel of loss matters. Traditional multimode cables often fall short when you need to span 30 m or more at 40 Gbps or higher. You may have faced costly re-cabling or unreliable links that disrupt services. This StarTech.com fibre solution fits seamlessly into existing single-mode setups, offering the distance, speed and durability required for modern CWDM applications while staying easy to install.

Benefits of StarTech.com Fiber Cable

• **High reliability:** Low insertion loss and strong return loss keep your network stable.
• **Future-proof:** Supports up to 100 Gbps and a wide CWDM spectrum for expanding bandwidth needs.
• **Safety compliant:** LSZH jacket meets fire safety standards, protecting people and equipment.
• **Easy integration:** Standard SC/UPC connectors work with most existing hardware, reducing installation time.
• **Lifetime support:** The limited lifetime warranty ensures you’re covered for the cable’s lifespan.

Usages of a 30m Fiber Cable

This 30 m single-mode fibre is perfect for linking servers to switches in data centres, connecting storage arrays across racks, extending high-speed links in telecom back-haul, or wiring industrial control systems where fire-safe cabling is mandatory. Its bend-insensitive design also makes it suitable for tight conduit runs in building-to-building installations.
