Overview
- The 8ware LC-LC OS2 fibre optic cable is engineered for reliable, high-speed data transmission in professional networking environments. This 1-metre single mode cable features LC UPC polished connectors that minimise signal loss and ensure optimal performance across extended distances—making it ideal for data centre upgrades and enterprise infrastructure deployments.
The armoured duplex construction provides mechanical durability in demanding environments, while the Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket meets fire safety standards and reduces toxic emissions during operation. This makes it particularly suitable for enclosed spaces, secure facilities, and installations where regulatory compliance is critical.
Offering cost-effective replacement for legacy copper-based patch leads, this cable supports transmission speeds from 10 Mbit/s to 10 Gbit/s Gigabit Ethernet. Its compact 1-metre length is ideal for rack-to-rack connections, fibre panel patching, and short-run interconnections within network infrastructure.

FAQs
What is the difference between OS2 single mode and multimode fibre?
OS2 single mode fibre is designed for long-distance, high-speed transmission with minimal signal loss. It uses a smaller core diameter, allowing only one light path at a time. This makes it ideal for data centres and enterprise networks requiring reliable performance over extended distances.
What does UPC polishing mean and why does it matter?
UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) is a polishing standard that provides an angled, highly finished connector surface. This reduces insertion loss and reflectance, ensuring optimal signal integrity and minimal data corruption during transmission.
Why is LSZH jacket material important?
LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) material is fire-retardant and releases minimal toxic gases if exposed to extreme heat. It is essential for installations in enclosed spaces, buildings with strict fire codes, and environments where personnel safety is a priority.
What does 'armoured' mean for a fibre optic cable?
Armoured construction includes a protective metal sheath or reinforced layer around the cable core. This provides additional mechanical protection against bending, crushing, and abrasion—important in high-traffic areas and demanding installation environments.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor installations?
This cable is primarily designed for indoor and data centre use. For outdoor installations, consult with your network supplier regarding cables with additional weather-resistant and UV-protection specifications.
What network speeds does this cable support?
This OS2 single mode cable supports transmission speeds from 10 Mbit/s to 10 Gbit/s Gigabit Ethernet, making it suitable for modern enterprise networking requirements.
Is the 1-metre length suitable for my installation?
The 1-metre length is ideal for short runs such as rack-to-rack connections, fibre panel patching, and switch interconnects. For longer distances, consult with your IT team or contact Hyetech Australia for alternative cable lengths.
