StarTech.com 50/125 2m LC SC Fiber Duplex Patch Cable is a high‑performance multimode fiber optic cable designed for demanding network environments where speed, reliability and durability are paramount.

Key Technical Features

• Fiber Type: OM2 multimode – ideal for high‑bandwidth LANs, data centers, and video surveillance systems.
• Connector Pair: LC male on one end, SC male on the other – enabling seamless integration with a wide range of fiber patch panels, transceivers, and media converters.
• Length: 2 meters (6.56 feet) – perfect for short‑run connections within racks or between adjacent equipment.
• Full Duplex Capability: Supports simultaneous bidirectional data flow, maximizing throughput on Gigabit Ethernet and higher.
• RoHS Compliant: Free of hazardous substances such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium – ensuring environmental safety.
• Non‑Halogen (LSZH) Construction: Emits minimal smoke and toxic gases when exposed to fire, enhancing safety in enclosed spaces.
• Color Coding: Vibrant orange jacket for easy identification and cable management.

Design & Build Quality

The cable features a robust 26 mm outer diameter and weighs only 35 g, striking an excellent balance between flexibility and strength. The dual‑mode structure (OM2) ensures low attenuation across the 850 nm wavelength, delivering reliable performance over the full 2‑meter span.

Connector Details

• LC Male Connector: Compact, high‑density connector suitable for dense patch panels and small form factor devices.
• SC Male Connector: Classic, rugged connector widely used in enterprise networks and legacy systems.
• The combination of LC to SC allows cross‑compatibility between modern and older equipment without the need for adapters.

Ideal Applications

• Data Centers: Connect servers, switches, and storage arrays with minimal latency.
• Enterprise LANs: Build high‑speed backbone links between floor cabinets or across short distances within a building.
• Video Surveillance: Reliable transmission of HD/4K video streams from cameras to recording units.
• Telecommunications: Backbone connections in small office/home office (SOHO) setups and fiber‑to‑the‑x deployments.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• Keep the cable straight: Avoid sharp bends to preserve signal integrity.
• Use proper strain relief: Secure the cable at both ends to prevent connector damage.
• Label clearly: The orange jacket makes it easy to identify during troubleshooting or future upgrades.

Compliance & Safety

The cable meets stringent industry standards, including RoHS and non‑halogen (LSZH) requirements. This ensures that the product is safe for use in environments where fire safety and environmental regulations are critical.
