1m OS2 LC to ST UPC Duplex Corning Fiber Optic Cable SingleMode 9/125 OFNR Rated, Yellow

The OS2 Duplex Single Mode LC/ST 9/125 Fiber Optic Cable is a versatile, high-performance networking solution designed for long-range, high-speed data transmission in mixed connector environments. This cable excels in applications ranging from modern data centers and enterprise networks to telecommunications infrastructure and legacy system integrations, offering superior performance and flexibility over extended distances.

At the core of this cable's design is the high-quality single-mode fiber with a 9/125 μm core/cladding diameter, utilizing Corning® glass for optimal performance. This configuration is optimized for long-range data transmission, making it ideal for applications that require signals to travel over significant distances without degradation. The duplex design, featuring two strands, allows for bidirectional communication, essential in many modern networking setups.

The cable features different connector types on each end, catering to diverse network needs. The LC connector on one end is perfect for high-density network applications, allowing for more connections in limited spaces. This makes it ideal for crowded server racks and data centers where maximizing port density is crucial. On the other end, the ST connector with its bayonet mount and locking system provides a secure, twist-lock connection, particularly useful in environments where cable stability is paramount or in legacy system integrations.

Performance is a key attribute of this cable. With an insertion loss of ≤ 0.3 dB and a return loss of ≥ 55 dB, it maintains superior signal integrity over long distances, ensuring reliable data transmission across the network. The UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polish further minimizes back reflection and signal loss, contributing to the cable's excellent performance.

Safety and compliance are addressed through the cable's OFNR (Riser) rated jacket, which allows for installation in vertical shafts between floors in buildings. This rating ensures enhanced fire safety, crucial for protecting your valuable infrastructure and meeting building codes.

The cable's physical attributes are tailored for professional use. With a jacket outer diameter of 2.0mm, it strikes a balance between durability and flexibility, facilitating easy routing and management in high-density environments. The industry-standard yellow coloration of the jacket enables quick identification of single-mode fiber in complex cabling installations.

Quality assurance is paramount, with each cable undergoing 100% factory testing. A test report is included in every package, providing verified performance data for your peace of mind.

This OS2 Duplex Single Mode LC/ST 9/125 Fiber Optic Cable is suitable for various applications, including data centers, enterprise networks, telecommunications infrastructure, long-distance networks, campus networks, high-speed internet backbones, and metropolitan area networks. It's particularly well-suited for Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and other high-bandwidth, long-range data applications.

The mixed connector types make this cable an excellent choice for networks transitioning between modern LC and legacy ST standards, or for environments where both connector types are in use. This flexibility can significantly reduce the need for additional adapters or conversion cables, streamlining network design and reducing potential points of failure.

By selecting this cable, network managers can effectively address current high-bandwidth, long-distance requirements while maintaining compatibility with existing infrastructure. Its combination of long-range capability, mixed connector design, superior performance, and adherence to industry standards makes it a practical and versatile choice for modern networking needs across a wide range of industries and applications.
