Overview
- The 8ware 1.5m LC-LC OS2 single mode fibre optic cable is engineered for high-performance data transmission in professional networking environments. With OS2 single mode technology, it supports reliable connectivity from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps Ethernet over extended distances, making it a cost-effective alternative to copper-based patch leads. The cable requires less signal amplification than copper, allowing data to travel further with greater integrity and lower operational power requirements.
Features include LC to LC UPC polished connectors for optimal signal quality, armoured duplex construction for enhanced durability in demanding installations, and a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket that meets fire safety regulations whilst reducing toxic emissions. The yellow jacket provides visual identification for easy installation and maintenance. This cable is ideal for data centres, enterprise networks, telecommunications infrastructure, and any application requiring compliance with safety standards in enclosed or high-risk environments.
With a compact 1.5 metre length, it's perfect for short runs between fibre panels, switches, and network equipment within racks or across nearby installations. The 12-month warranty provides peace of mind for mission-critical deployments across Australian businesses.

FAQs
What is the difference between OS2 single mode and multimode fibre?
OS2 single mode fibre carries a single light path over long distances with minimal signal loss, supporting speeds from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps Ethernet. It requires more expensive equipment but delivers superior performance over extended distances. Multimode fibre carries multiple light paths and is suited to shorter runs.
Why choose LC-LC UPC connectors?
UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) connectors provide superior signal integrity with low insertion loss and high return loss. LC connectors are compact and widely used in data centre and enterprise networking environments for reliable, space-efficient installations.
What does LSZH jacket mean and why does it matter?
LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacketing is fire-retardant and emits minimal toxic gases if exposed to flame. It's mandatory in enclosed spaces such as data centres, cable ducts, and buildings where occupant safety is critical, making it essential for compliance-focused installations.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
The armoured construction provides mechanical protection, but this cable is engineered for indoor and controlled environments. For outdoor or exposed installations, consult a networking specialist about ruggedised outdoor-rated alternatives.
What is the maximum transmission distance for this cable?
OS2 single mode fibre supports reliable transmission over many kilometres when paired with appropriate networking equipment. For specific distance requirements, consult the equipment manufacturer's specifications or contact Hyetech Australia for guidance.
Can I use this cable with existing copper infrastructure?
This fibre optic cable requires network equipment with fibre optic ports. It cannot be directly connected to standard copper Ethernet ports without media converters. Verify your equipment supports fibre connectivity before purchasing.
What warranty and support does this cable include?
The 8ware cable includes a 12-month manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. For warranty claims or technical support, contact Hyetech Australia with your proof of purchase.
