This 8-meter OS2 Single Mode Duplex Fiber Optic Cable is designed for IT professionals and network administrators requiring high-performance 100Gbps connectivity between servers, switches, and data center hardware. It provides superior signal integrity and safety through its bend-insensitive core and fire-retardant LSZH jacket, though users should ensure their hardware ports are compatible with LC and SC interfaces before installation.

Yes, this OS2 cable is fully backward compatible with OS1 network standards.
The Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen jacket is a flame-retardant material that reduces the production of toxic smoke and fumes in the event of a fire.
Yes, this cable is specifically engineered to support data transfer rates up to 100Gbit/s.
UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polish provides significantly better return loss characteristics compared to standard PC polishing.
This cable features a standard 9/125µm fiber construction, where the core diameter is 9µm.
Verify that the connectors are fully seated in the ports and ensure the fiber ends are clean; check that the TX/RX alignment is correct.
Inspect the cable for sharp bends or physical kinks that may have damaged the core and confirm the connection is within the maximum specified link distance.
When installing, verify that the LC (small form factor) and SC (subscriber connector) ports on your networking equipment match the ends of the patch lead. To maintain the 0.3dB insertion loss rating, always clean the connector ferrules with an approved fiber cleaning tool before insertion. Avoid excessive tension during cable routing, as fiber is sensitive to crushing forces. The cable is fully backward compatible with OS1, so it can be integrated into legacy environments without replacing existing infrastructure. Store in a cool, dry place within the operating temperature range of -20°C to 60°C.
