OS2 LC/LC Single Mode Simplex Fiber Optic Patch cable facilitates reliable connectivity across 40G/100G networks. It supports Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) across an extended wavelength range of 1260-1625nm, enhancing signal quality and performance capacity over OS1 cables. The bend-insensitive fiber and molded strain reliefs support cable runs requiring micro/macro bends while maintaining low attenuation. The OS2 patch cable is ideal for 1260-1625nm laser-optimized sources. Backward compatible with 9/125 fiber equipment, ensuring a reliable connection with legacy LANs. Housed in a Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen (LSZH) flame retardant jacket, this SM Simplex fiber optic cable ensures minimal smoke, toxicity, and corrosion when exposed to extreme sources of heat or in the event of a fire. Capable of operating in a wide range of environments, including industrial settings, central offices, and schools, as well as residential settings where building codes are a consideration. Each OS2 fiber cable is also individually tested for for insertion loss and attenuation that meets or exceeds the ITU-T G652.D/G657.A1 and IEC60703-2-50 type B1.3/B6.a1 industry standards, for guaranteed compatibility and 100% reliability. This OS2 Fiber Patch Cable is backed for life, including free lifetime multi-lingual technical assistance.

• Compatibility
  Connect to single-fiber networking devices including simplex patch panels, SFP transceivers, and fiber NICs. This 9/125µm OS2 simplex single mode fiber patch cord is backward compatible with OS1 networks, ensuring a reliable connection in legacy fiber environments.
• Engineered for Optimal Performance
  Precision-manufactured ceramic ferrules ensure accurate fiber alignment for an insertion loss below 0.3dB. Ultra Physical Contact (UPC)-polished LC to LC fiber ends greatly improve return loss characteristics over older PC polishing techniques. The Bend Insensitive fiber core is surrounded by a layer of low refractive index material. This material reduces the amount of light that can escape the fiber cable by reflecting the light back into the fiber. The OS2 fiber patch cord is engineered for low attenuation and performance that exceeds ITU-T G652.D/G657.A1 and IEC60703-2-50 type B1.3/B6.a1 industry standards.
• LSZH Cable Jacket
  Housed in a Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen (LSZH) flame-retardant jacket, the OS2 fiber cable emits low smoke and toxic fumes when exposed to extreme heat or in the event of a fire. This enables safer cable installations in areas with poor ventilation including some industrial settings, self-contained environments such as trains and aircraft, as well as residential settings where compliance with building codes must be considered. Each OS2 fiber cable is individually tested for insertion loss performance and includes a test report, for guaranteed compatibility and 100% reliability.
