Overview
- The 8ware 7-metre LC-LC OS2 single mode fibre optic cable is engineered for high-performance data transmission in enterprise and telecommunications environments. Built with OS2 single mode fibre, it supports speeds from 10 Mbit/s to 10 Gbit/s Gigabit Ethernet over extended distances with significantly less signal degradation than copper alternatives.
The cable features LC-LC UPC polished connectors that minimise insertion loss and maintain optimal signal integrity for critical network operations. Its dual-core duplex construction enables simultaneous bidirectional communication, whilst the armoured design provides mechanical protection in high-risk and demanding installation environments.
The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket delivers essential fire safety and reduced toxic emissions, making it suitable for enclosed spaces, data centres, and facilities with strict safety compliance requirements. This 7-metre length is ideal for short runs between fibre panels, network switches, and connected equipment within rack systems.
Choose 8ware fibre optic cables as a cost-effective, reliable alternative to copper-based patch leads, reducing amplification needs and enabling signal transmission over longer distances with superior performance.

FAQs
What is the difference between OS2 single mode and multimode fibre?
OS2 single mode fibre supports longer distances (typically up to 10 km) with higher bandwidth, making it ideal for enterprise and telecommunications applications. Multimode fibre is better suited for shorter distances (up to 2 km) and lower cost applications.
What does UPC connector polish mean?
UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) connectors have a slightly curved polish that reduces insertion loss and back reflection compared to standard PC connectors, delivering superior signal integrity for demanding network environments.
Why is LSZH jacket material important?
LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jackets produce minimal smoke and toxic gases if exposed to fire, making them essential for data centres, enclosed spaces, and facilities requiring fire safety compliance.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor installations?
Whilst the cable features armoured duplex construction for protection, for outdoor installations we recommend confirming environmental specifications with your network engineer. The LSZH jacket is designed primarily for indoor fire safety compliance.
Can I use this cable with different connector types?
This cable features LC-LC connectors on both ends. If you need different connector types, you will require an adapter or alternative cable with the appropriate connectors.
What is the warranty period?
The 8ware fibre optic cable is covered by a 12-month manufacturer's warranty.
Is installation of fibre optic cables difficult?
Fibre optic installations require care and sometimes specialist tools to maintain signal integrity. For critical deployments, we recommend engaging a qualified network technician to ensure proper termination and testing.
