ERSTICKT 400M LC-to-LC Armored Outdoor Fiber Patch Cable (OS1/OS2) – Uniboot, LSZH

Overview

Meet the ERSTICKT 400M LC-to-LC armored outdoor fiber patch cable — built for long-distance links and challenging environments. This OS1/OS2 compatible patch cord combines a bend-insensitive 9/125μm SMF core with rugged stainless steel armor and a low-friction LSZH jacket, delivering durable performance without sacrificing flexibility. Designed for outdoor deployments, it supports reliable optical transmission across varied weather and installation conditions.

Key benefits

• Rugged outdoor protection: stainless steel armor shields the core from crushing, rodent bites, and harsh elements while staying flexible.
• Bend-insensitive SMF core: 9/125μm fiber enables tighter routing and compact installations without compromising signal quality.
• Flame-retardant, low-smoke jacket: LSZH jacket enhances safety in enclosed or high-traffic spaces.
• Moisture-resistant end-face: baked polish surfaces resist humidity-related contamination for longer-lasting contact quality.
• Uniboot LC connectors: two fibers in one housing simplify dense cabling and clean terminations in tight spaces.
• Broad compatibility: works with LC-based interfaces and a wide range of transceivers and network gear from leading vendors.

Real-world use cases

• FTTH/FTTX fiber access networks delivering room-to-room or building-to-building connections.
• Outdoor inter-building links and telecom cabinet to building connections in campus or urban environments.
• Data center backbones and core-to-edge routing where durable, long-distance links are essential.
• Surveillance systems, security networks, and industrial monitoring requiring rugged outdoor cabling.

Installation and performance notes

The 3.0 mm outer diameter is designed for straightforward routing through conduits and structured cabling spaces, while the ultra-low friction jacket (-μ<0.2) helps cables glide through crowded pathways. End-face baking and moisture resistance help preserve contact integrity in humid or outdoor climates. Key specs include a maximum insertion loss of ≤ 0.3 dB and a return loss of ≥ 50 dB across 1310–1550 nm, with operating temperatures from -40°C to +85°C.

Whether you’re linking outdoor cabinets, sourcing a reliable backbone for a data center, or extending a campus network, this ERSTICKT LC-to-LC armored patch cord offers a balanced blend of strength, installability, and performance without promising guarantees. Consider it a solid option for demanding, long-range fiber deployments.
