Overview
- The 8ware LC-LC OS2 fibre optic patch cable is engineered for professional telecommunications and high-speed networking applications. At 3 metres in length, it provides the flexibility needed for equipment interconnection whilst maintaining signal integrity over longer distances than comparable copper alternatives.
This single mode cable features UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) connectors that are individually polished and inspected, ensuring optimal performance and minimal signal loss. The armoured construction protects the cable from physical damage in active network environments.
The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket meets strict fire safety standards, making it suitable for commercial buildings and regulated facilities. With support for transmission rates up to 10Gbit/s, the cable is compatible with modern Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure and future-proofs your network cabling investment.

FAQs
What is the difference between single mode and multimode fibre optic cable?
Single mode fibre has a smaller core (9/125µm) that carries light in a single path, enabling longer transmission distances with less signal loss. This cable is single mode, making it ideal for long-distance telecommunications and data centre connections over distances exceeding 2 kilometres.
What does UPC connector mean?
UPC stands for Ultra Physical Contact. It refers to the connector's polished end face geometry, which minimises signal reflection and loss. This cable features UPC connectors on both ends, individually polished and inspected for optimal performance.
Why is LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) important?
LSZH jackets produce minimal smoke and no toxic halogen gases when exposed to fire, making them essential in commercial buildings, data centres, and regulated environments where fire safety is critical. This cable meets these safety standards.
What speeds does this cable support?
This cable supports transmission rates of 100MB, 1Gbit/s (1000MB), and 10Gbit/s (10000MB), making it compatible with modern Gigabit Ethernet and high-speed network infrastructure.
Is the 3-metre length suitable for my installation?
The 3-metre length is ideal for typical equipment interconnections within data centres, server rooms, and network closets. If you require a different length, consult with our team for alternative options.
What does armoured mean for a fibre optic cable?
Armoured construction adds a protective layer around the cable, safeguarding the delicate fibres from physical damage, crush hazards, and environmental stress. This is recommended for active installation environments and areas with high foot traffic.
