Overview
The Ubiquiti FC-SM-200 is a 200 ft single-mode LC FiberCable designed for outdoor fiber networking and tower deployments. It uses six-strand G.657.A2 single-mode fiber with an outdoor-rated jacket, integrated weatherproof tape, and Kevlar yarn for added tensile strength.
Fiber Construction
The cable contains six single-mode fiber strands with a nominal 0.25 mm fiber-strand diameter. The G.657.A2 fiber construction is intended for outdoor networking applications where the cable needs to combine optical performance with a flexible physical design.
Outdoor Installation
FC-SM-200 features an outdoor-rated jacket with a ripcord and integrated weatherproof tape. The cable is designed for outdoor routing and switching deployments, including tower installations using compatible Ubiquiti networking equipment.
Optical Performance
The specified insertion loss is up to 0.5 dB/km at both 1310 nm and 1550 nm. The cable is terminated with LC connectors at both ends for connection to compatible single-mode optical interfaces.
Key Features
- 200 ft (60.96 m) single-mode LC fiber cable
- Six-strand G.657.A2 single-mode fiber
- Outdoor-rated jacket with ripcord
- Integrated weatherproof tape and Kevlar yarn reinforcement
- LC connectors at both ends
Applications
The FC-SM-200 is designed for outdoor fiber links, including tower deployments of compatible routing and switching equipment. Its single-mode construction is suited to optical networking installations requiring LC-terminated fiber cabling.
DC Supplies Product Note
The FC-SM-200 is a pre-terminated single-mode fiber cable rather than a transceiver or fiber module. Verify that the connected equipment uses compatible LC single-mode interfaces before installation.
