Overview
- The Ubiquiti FC-SM-200 is a premium outdoor-rated single-mode fiber cable purpose-built for tower deployments and exposed infrastructure. Its six-strand G.657.A2 construction ensures reliable, high-speed data transmission across extended distances with minimal signal loss.
This cable is engineered to withstand harsh outdoor conditions. The outdoor-rated jacket, integrated weatherproof tape, and Kevlar yarn reinforcement provide robust protection against UV exposure, moisture, temperature fluctuations, and mechanical stress. The integrated ripcord simplifies installation and maintenance.
With insertion loss of ≤0.5 dB/km at both 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths, the FC-SM-200 maintains signal integrity over long distances, making it ideal for backbone networks and critical connectivity requirements. The lightweight 60-metre length suits tower-mounted equipment and elevated infrastructure without excessive weight penalties.

FAQs
What is the FC-SM-200 cable used for?
The FC-SM-200 is an outdoor-rated single-mode fiber cable designed for tower deployments, outdoor infrastructure, and connectivity between Ubiquiti EdgePoint and similar outdoor products. It's suitable for long-distance, weather-exposed installations.
Can the FC-SM-200 be used indoors?
Yes, the FC-SM-200 can be used indoors, though its outdoor-rated specifications make it particularly well-suited for external deployments. The weatherproof tape and UV-resistant jacket provide extra protection even in indoor installations.
What does G.657.A2 mean?
G.657.A2 is an ITU-T standard for single-mode optical fibre. This specification indicates the cable supports bend-insensitive, high-performance operation, making it more flexible and easier to install than standard single-mode fibre.
What is insertion loss and why does it matter?
Insertion loss measures how much signal strength is lost as light travels through the cable, expressed in dB/km. The FC-SM-200's ≤0.5 dB/km rating at both 1310 nm and 1550 nm indicates minimal signal degradation, ensuring reliable long-distance transmission.
Why does this cable have Kevlar reinforcement?
Kevlar yarn adds tensile strength to the cable, protecting it against mechanical stress, pulling, and environmental strain during installation and operation. This is especially important for outdoor tower deployments where the cable must withstand weather and movement.
Is the weatherproof tape included?
Yes, the FC-SM-200 includes integrated weatherproof tape at the factory as part of its construction. This provides built-in protection against moisture and UV exposure without requiring additional accessories.
What is the ripcord for?
The integrated ripcord simplifies jacket removal during termination and maintenance. By pulling the ripcord, installers can easily open the cable jacket without damaging the fibres inside.
What is the warranty period?
The Ubiquiti FC-SM-200 includes a 12-month manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.
