Description

The SC/APC to SC/APC OS2 Single Mode LSZH Armored Fiber Patch Cable is engineered to provide maximum protection and reliable optical performance in demanding environments. Designed with a continuous stainless steel armor layer surrounding the 9/125µm single-mode fiber, this 30-meter cable offers exceptional resistance to crushing, rodent damage, mechanical impacts, and other physical threats that typically compromise standard fiber patch cables. Its armored construction ensures stable, long-term operation for industrial, outdoor, and high-traffic environments while maintaining flexibility for standard cable routing.

Utilizing OS2 single-mode fiber, the cable supports wavelengths from 1260nm to 1625nm with low attenuation (≤0.4dB/km at 1310nm and ≤0.3dB/km at 1550nm), enabling high-speed applications from Gigabit Ethernet to 100G coherent optical systems over campus and metropolitan distances. Both ends are terminated with SC/APC connectors featuring 8-degree angle-polished ferrules, providing return loss typically exceeding 60dB and eliminating optical reflections. The green connector boots ensure proper APC interface identification, reducing the risk of cross-connection with SC/UPC interfaces that could introduce high insertion loss.

The cable’s 4.8mm LSZH jacket combines safety and durability, producing minimal smoke and no halogen gases in case of fire, making it suitable for indoor installations where fire codes are strict. The armored design offers 1500N crush resistance and 500N impact protection while remaining flexible enough for standard cable trays and conduit routing. Each cable is rigorously tested for optical performance, mechanical stress, and connector quality to guarantee reliable signal transmission under harsh operating conditions. This combination of OS2 single-mode fiber, SC/APC connectivity, and armored protection ensures optimal performance and durability in critical network applications.

FAQ

Why use an armored LSZH fiber patch cable?
The armored LSZH construction protects against crushing, rodent damage, and mechanical impacts while ensuring fire safety with low smoke and zero halogen emissions for indoor installations.

What is the advantage of SC/APC connectors in this cable?
SC/APC connectors with 8-degree angled polish reduce back reflection, delivering return loss typically over 60dB, which is critical for high-power or bidirectional optical systems.

Is this cable suitable for high-speed long-distance networks?
Yes. The OS2 single-mode fiber supports 1260–1625nm wavelengths with very low attenuation, enabling applications from Gigabit Ethernet to 100G coherent optical systems.

What level of mechanical protection does the armor provide?
The stainless steel armor is rated for 1500N crush resistance and 500N impact force, and it also provides rodent-proofing for harsh environments.

Can FiberMania provide custom armored fiber cables?
Yes. FiberMania offers OEM manufacturing, private label services, and customizable armored fiber solutions including length, jacket type, connector type, and packaging for global network deployments.
