Improve the throughput capacity of CWDM applications over an OS2 fiber network

The OS2 LC to LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cable facilitates connectivity in 100G networks. It supports Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM) across a wide 1260-1625nm wavelength range, enhancing channel isolation for optimal signal strength over long distances.

Compatibility

This 9/125µm single-mode fiber cable supports laser-optimized sources from 1260-1625nm and is ideal for critical connections between servers, switches, and data center equipment. It is backward compatible with OS1 networks, ensuring a reliable connection in legacy fiber environments.

Engineered for Optimal Performance

Precision-manufactured ceramic ferrules ensure exact fiber alignment for an insertion loss of less than 0.3 dB. 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 low refractive index material layer. 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 cable 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 Jacket

Housed in a Low-Smoke, Zero-Halogen (LSZH) flame-retardant jacket, 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 poor ventilation, including some industrial settings, autonomous environments like trains and aircraft, as well as residential settings where building code compliance must be considered.

Each OS2 fiber cable is individually tested for insertion loss performance and includes a test report, ensuring 100% compatibility and reliability.
