ERSTICKT 100M LC-LC Armored Outdoor SMF Patch Cable OS1/OS2

Rugged outdoor readiness

Meet the ERSTICKT 100M LC to LC armored outdoor single mode fiber patch cable. Built to endure outdoor deployments and high‑demand environments, it preserves strong optical performance over long distances while withstanding harsh conditions. Designed to be OS1 OS2 compatible, this patch cord supports a wide range of fiber networks without compromising reliability in field installations.

The core is a bend‑insensitive 9/125 μm SMF (G657.A2), allowing tighter routing and compact layouts without sacrificing signal integrity. Whether you’re weaving through conduits, wrapping around equipment racks, or threading through tight spaces, the core is engineered to keep data moving with minimal distortion.

Industrial strength you can trust

The inner glass is protected by a stainless steel armor layer that resists crushing, rodent bites, and environmental stress, yet remains flexible enough for installer‑friendly handling. The outer shell is a black LSZH jacket that meets flame retardant and low smoke standards, while its ultra‑low friction coating (μ < 0.2) makes feeding through conduits faster and easier.

• Armor guards the fiber in harsh outdoor settings, including outside cabinets and buried conduits.
• Low friction jacket simplifies pulling through long or crowded pathways.

Reliable connections in any weather

Ends are LC/UPC connectors with moisture‑resistant baked polish technology, helping maintain clean contact surfaces in humid or outdoor environments. This design helps sustain long‑term signal quality and reduces routine maintenance in challenging climates.

• Moisture‑resistant end faces improve longevity of outdoor connections.
• Uniboot duplex design supports dense cabling and clean routing in high‑density patches.
