3m OS2 Short Boot ST TO ST UPC Duplex Corning Fiber Optic Cable SingleMode 9/125 LZSH/OFNR Rated, Yellow

The OS2 9/125 ST-ST UPC Duplex Single Mode Fiber Optic Cable with Short Boot design represents the pinnacle of fiber optic technology for long-range, high-performance networking applications. This premium cable combines cutting-edge features with robust construction to deliver exceptional data transmission capabilities across extended distances.

At the core of this cable lies the high-quality Corning® glass fiber, featuring a 9μm core and 125μm cladding. This precision-engineered single-mode fiber excels in long-distance signal transmission, making it an ideal choice for enterprise networks, data centers, and telecommunications infrastructure. The G657A1 fiber specification enhances bend resistance, allowing for flexible installation in tight spaces without compromising signal integrity.

The cable's ST connectors with UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polishing ensure minimal signal loss, boasting an insertion loss of ≤ 0.3 dB and a return loss of ≥ 55 dB. These impressive specifications translate to crystal-clear data transmission, critical for applications such as fast Ethernet and gigabit Ethernet networks.

Safety and compliance are paramount in the design of this fiber optic cable. The dual LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) and OFNR (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser) ratings provide versatile fire safety characteristics. This double certification makes the cable suitable for various installation scenarios, including vertical runs between floors, adhering to strict building codes and safety standards.

The cable's short boot design is a standout feature, minimizing large curve losses often associated with traditional boots. This innovative approach allows for neater cable management and improved performance in high-density installations where space is at a premium. The distinctive yellow jacket not only aids in easy identification but also signifies its single-mode classification, streamlining network maintenance and troubleshooting processes.

Versatility is a key attribute of this fiber optic cable. Its robust construction and high-quality components make it suitable for a wide range of applications, from indoor office environments to more demanding outdoor installations. Whether deployed in a corporate data center, a university campus network, or a telecommunications backbone, this cable delivers consistent, reliable performance.

Each cable undergoes rigorous testing, with a detailed test report included in every package, ensuring that it meets the highest standards of quality and performance. The UL listing further attests to its compliance with industry safety standards.

For network professionals seeking a high-performance, long-range fiber optic solution, the OS2 9/125 ST-ST UPC Duplex Single Mode Fiber Optic Cable with Short Boot offers an unparalleled combination of advanced technology, safety features, and versatile applicability. It stands as a testament to the evolution of fiber optic cabling, ready to meet the demands of today's data-intensive, high-speed networking environments.
