StarTech.com Fiber Optic Cable

Choosing this cable means you avoid the common headaches of high-density cabling - bent fibres, high attenuation and confusing polarity. The precision ceramic ferrules keep the light path perfectly aligned, reducing insertion loss and improving return loss, so you get a stable connection even in cramped setups. Its OM4 laser-optimised fibre works with both 850 nm and 1300 nm VCSEL or LED sources, giving you flexibility across legacy and new installations.

The LSZH jacket not only meets strict fire safety codes but also makes the cable suitable for environments with poor ventilation, such as train compartments, aircraft or industrial panels. Each cord is individually tested to exceed TIA/EIA-568 standards, guaranteeing that you receive a product that performs exactly as advertised, day after day.
