Overview
- The 8ware fibre optic cable is engineered for reliable, high-speed data transmission in professional IT environments. With OS2 single mode fibre and LC-LC UPC connectors, it delivers low insertion loss and optimal signal integrity over longer distances than copper alternatives, whilst requiring minimal signal amplification.
The armoured duplex design provides mechanical protection in demanding environments, making it suitable for data centres, telecom installations, and enterprise networks. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket meets fire safety requirements and reduces toxic emissions—critical for enclosed or regulated facilities.
At 1 metre in length, this cable is ideal for short runs between adjacent equipment, patch panels, and network switches. The professional black finish integrates seamlessly into enterprise deployments without compromising functionality or aesthetics.

FAQs
What is the difference between OS2 single mode and multimode fibre?
OS2 single mode fibre supports higher bandwidth and longer transmission distances (typically up to 10 km and beyond) with lower signal loss compared to multimode. It uses a smaller core diameter and is ideal for enterprise and telecommunications applications. Multimode fibre is suitable for shorter distances and lower-cost deployments.
What does UPC polish mean on the connectors?
UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) refers to the connector polishing angle. LC-LC UPC connectors are polished at an 8-degree angle and provide superior signal integrity with low insertion loss, making them ideal for high-performance network applications.
Why is LSZH jacket material important?
LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jackets are fire-retardant and produce minimal smoke and no toxic halogen gases when burned. This makes them essential for enclosed spaces, data centres, and facilities where safety regulations require reduced fire hazard and toxic emission control.
What does 'armoured' mean on this fibre cable?
Armoured construction includes a protective layer around the cable to prevent mechanical damage, crushing, and abrasion. This is important in high-traffic environments, outdoor installations, and areas where the cable may be exposed to physical stress.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
This cable is designed primarily for indoor enterprise and data centre applications. For outdoor use, consult 8ware or Hyetech Australia regarding outdoor-rated fibre optic cables with appropriate UV and weather protection.
What transmission speeds does this cable support?
OS2 single mode fibre supports transmission from 10 Mbit/s Ethernet through to 10 Gbit/s Gigabit Ethernet and beyond, depending on the network equipment and optical transceivers used.
Can I use this cable with my existing network equipment?
Yes, provided your network equipment has LC-LC fibre ports. The LC connector is standard on many enterprise switches, routers, and network interface cards. Verify your equipment's specifications before purchase.
What is the warranty on this product?
The 8ware fibre optic cable comes with a 12-month manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
