50m Single Mode Duplex Cable

The StarTech SMDOS2LCLC50M is a 50 metre (164 foot) LC to LC UPC OS2 single mode duplex fibre optic cable. It connects network equipment, patch panels or transceivers that use LC duplex connectors over long single mode links. The cable suits campus, metro or data centre runs where single mode fibre is specified.

Low Insertion Loss Over Distance

Single mode OS2 glass and UPC polished ferrules keep insertion loss low across the full 50 metre length, so signal integrity remains stable under sustained traffic. The duplex construction provides separate transmit and receive fibres in one jacket, simplifying routing and reducing the chance of cross connection errors during maintenance.

Replaces Shorter Or Multimode Patch Cords

This cable replaces shorter single mode patch cords when the link spans up to 50 metres, and it replaces multimode duplex cables when the application requires single mode reach and bandwidth. The jump is worth it when the installation demands OS2 performance at this exact length and LC UPC terminations.

Questions about this item

Does the 50-metre single-mode duplex cable generate any heat or need power during continuous operation?

No, the passive glass fibre carries light without active components, so it produces no heat and requires no power supply.

Which transceivers or patch panels must I already have to connect the LC UPC ends?

You need equipment with LC duplex ports that accept UPC-polished single-mode connectors, such as SFP, SFP+ or QSFP transceivers and matching patch panels.

Will the OS2 cable work with the OM3 multimode patch cords I already use in the rack?

No, OS2 single-mode fibre has a different core size and is not compatible with OM3 multimode cords; mixing them causes high loss and link failure.
