Overview
- The 8ware 10m LC-LC OS2 Single Mode Fibre Optic Cable is purpose-built for organisations requiring reliable, high-performance fibre connectivity in critical infrastructure environments. Using single-mode OS2 fibre, this cable supports data transmission from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps Gigabit Ethernet with minimal signal degradation over extended distances, making it ideal for data centre and telecommunications applications.
The cable features LC to LC UPC polished connectors that ensure optimal signal integrity and low insertion loss, critical for maintaining network performance in demanding deployments. Its armoured duplex construction provides mechanical protection in high-risk or physically demanding environments, whilst the LSZH jacket delivers fire-retardant properties and reduces toxic smoke emissions—essential for enclosed spaces and safety-critical installations.
At 10 metres, this cable length suits rack-to-rack connections, patch panel installations, and short-run infrastructure requirements. The yellow jacket aids visual identification in complex cabling environments. Backed by a 12-month warranty, this 8ware cable represents a cost-effective solution for organisations modernising their network infrastructure with fibre-based connectivity.

FAQs
What is the difference between OS2 single mode and multimode fibre?
OS2 single mode fibre uses a smaller core diameter, allowing light to travel in a single path. This enables higher speeds and longer transmission distances with minimal signal loss, making it ideal for enterprise and telecommunications applications. Multimode fibre accommodates multiple light paths and is better suited to shorter distances.
Why are UPC connectors used in this cable?
UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) connectors are polished to an ultra-smooth finish, providing minimal insertion loss and superior signal integrity. This makes them ideal for high-performance networks requiring reliable data transmission with minimal degradation.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor installation?
This cable features an armoured construction that provides mechanical protection, making it suitable for demanding environments. However, specific outdoor suitability depends on your installation requirements. Consult the detailed specifications or contact our team for outdoor deployment guidance.
What does LSZH jacket mean?
LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) means the cable jacket is formulated to produce minimal smoke and no halogenated toxic gases if exposed to fire. This is essential for enclosed spaces, data centres, and facilities where fire safety and air quality are critical concerns.
Can I use this cable with existing copper-based infrastructure?
This is a fibre optic cable and requires fibre-capable network equipment with compatible LC connectors. If your current infrastructure uses copper cables, you'll need appropriate media converters or fibre-enabled network cards to integrate this cable into your system.
What is the maximum transmission distance for this cable?
OS2 single mode fibre supports long-distance transmission with minimal signal loss. The 10-metre length supplied is suitable for data centre rack-to-rack and patch panel connections. For longer distances, fibre's key advantage is the ability to support signal transmission over many kilometres without amplification.
Is this cable included with any network equipment?
This is a standalone patch cable. It requires compatible fibre-enabled network equipment with LC ports. Confirm your equipment supports LC connectors before purchasing.
