Description
Improving the performance of CWDM applications on an OS2 fiber network
The OS2 LC to SC single-mode simplex fiber optic patch cable facilitates connectivity on 40G/100G networks. It supports wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM) over an extended wavelength range of 1260 to 1625 nm, improving channel isolation for optimal signal strength over long distances.
Compatibility
Connect to single-fiber network devices, including simplex patch panels, SFP transceivers, and fiber network interface cards (NICs). This 9/125 µm OS2 single-mode simplex fiber cable is backward compatible with OS1 networks, ensuring a reliable connection in legacy fiber environments.
Designed for optimal performance
Precision-manufactured ceramic ferrules ensure accurate fiber alignment for insertion loss below 0.3 dB. Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) polished LC-SC fiber ends significantly improve return loss characteristics compared to 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 from the cable by reflecting light back into the fiber. The OS2 fiber cord is designed for low attenuation and performance that exceeds industry standards ITU-T G652.D/G657.A1 and IEC60703-2-50 type B1.3/B6.a1.
LSZH cable sheath
Housed in a low smoke, zero halogen (LSZH) flame-retardant sheath, the OS2 fiber cable emits minimal smoke and toxic gases when exposed to extreme heat or in the event of a fire. This enables safer cable installations in areas with inadequate ventilation, including certain industrial environments, self-contained environments such as trains and aircraft, and residential environments where building code compliance is critical.
Each OS2 fibre cable is individually tested for insertion loss performance and includes a test report, ensuring 100% compatibility and reliability.
