Overview
- The 8ware 7m LC-LC OS2 Single Mode Fibre Optic Cable is a professional-grade network patch cable designed for telecommunications and enterprise networking. Single mode fibre technology transmits data at speeds up to 10 Gbps over longer distances with significantly less signal degradation than copper alternatives, whilst requiring less signal amplification.
Built with UPC connectors that are factory polished and individually inspected, this cable delivers consistent performance and low insertion loss for mission-critical applications. The armoured construction with LSZH jacket provides enhanced durability and meets fire safety standards, making it suitable for data centres, telecommunications facilities, and complex network environments where reliability and safety are paramount.
The 7-metre length provides flexibility for moderate-distance runs within equipment racks and between network nodes, whilst the dual-core design supports simultaneous duplex communication.

FAQs
What is the difference between single mode and multi-mode fibre?
Single mode fibre (OS2) has a smaller core (9/125µm) that allows only one light path, enabling data transmission over much longer distances with less signal loss. This cable supports higher speeds and is ideal for telecommunications and data centre applications requiring long-distance runs.
What does UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) mean?
UPC connectors feature a polished contact surface designed to minimise return loss and insertion loss. All ends on this cable are factory polished and individually inspected to ensure consistent, low-loss connections in high-speed networks.
Why choose LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket?
LSZH jackets comply with fire safety standards by producing minimal smoke and toxic halogen gases if exposed to fire. They are required in many data centres, office buildings, and enclosed spaces to meet building codes and safety regulations.
What speeds does this cable support?
This single mode fibre optic cable supports 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet), and 10 Gbps (10 Gigabit Ethernet) transmission rates, making it suitable for modern high-speed network infrastructure.
How long can I run a single mode fibre cable?
Single mode fibre can transmit data reliably over distances far exceeding copper cables—often kilometres without signal regeneration. This 7-metre patch cable is ideal for interconnecting network equipment within facilities whilst maintaining signal integrity.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
The LSZH jacket provides durability and flame resistance, but outdoor fibre installations typically require additional protection such as conduit or ruggedised outdoor-rated cables. Consult installation guidelines for your specific outdoor environment.
What is the warranty on this cable?
This 8ware fibre optic cable includes a 12-month manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
