Overview
- The 8ware LC-LC OS2 is a professional-grade fibre optic patch cable engineered for high-performance data transmission over extended distances. With OS2 single mode fibre and UPC polished LC connectors, it delivers optimal signal integrity and minimal insertion loss—key advantages over traditional copper cabling, especially where longer runs and higher speeds are required.
The armoured duplex construction provides mechanical protection in high-risk or demanding environments, while the LSZH fire-retardant jacket makes it compliant with safety standards in enclosed spaces and critical installations. It requires less signal amplification than copper alternatives and maintains performance over greater distances.
At 10 metres, this cable is ideal for rack-to-rack connections, short fibre runs, and patch panel installations in data centres, enterprise networks, and telecommunications infrastructure. The professional black finish and compact design ensure clean, organised deployments suitable for business-critical environments.

FAQs
What is the difference between OS2 single mode and multimode fibre?
OS2 single mode fibre supports a single light path, enabling longer transmission distances (up to 10km+) with higher speeds and lower signal loss. Multimode fibre supports multiple light paths and is suited to shorter distances. OS2 is the choice for long-distance, high-performance enterprise and telecom applications.
What does UPC polishing mean, and why does it matter?
UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polishing refers to the connector end finish. UPC connectors have a slight radius and provide lower insertion loss and better signal integrity compared to standard APC connectors, making them ideal for high-performance network infrastructure.
Why choose fibre optic over copper cabling?
Fibre optic cables offer higher bandwidth, longer transmission distances with minimal signal loss, immunity to electromagnetic interference, and better security. They also require less signal amplification, making them cost-effective for enterprise and data centre deployments.
What does LSZH jacket mean, and when is it required?
LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket material is fire-retardant and produces minimal toxic fumes when exposed to heat. It is required or recommended in enclosed spaces, underground installations, and high-safety environments such as hospitals, airports, and data centres.
Is this cable suitable for data centre use?
Yes. The 10-metre length, OS2 single mode fibre, UPC connectors, armoured construction, and LSZH jacket make it well-suited for data centre infrastructure, server-to-switch connections, and fibre backbone installations.
What is armoured cable construction?
Armoured cable features an additional protective layer (usually metal braid or sheath) around the fibre core and jacket. This provides mechanical protection against physical damage, crushing, and abrasion in high-risk or demanding environments.
What warranty and support does this cable include?
The 8ware LC-LC OS2 cable comes with a 12-month manufacturer warranty. For support and warranty claims, contact Hyetech Australia.
