Overview
The Ubiquiti FC-SM-100 is an outdoor OS1 single-mode fiber cable with simplex LC UPC connectors. It is designed for fiber networking installations where a pre-terminated single-mode optical cable is required for outdoor routing and switching applications.
Fiber and Connector Design
The cable uses OS1 single-mode fiber and is terminated with simplex LC UPC connectors. Ubiquiti specifies operation at 1310 nm and 1550 nm, with insertion loss of up to 0.3 dB and return loss of at least 50 dB.
Outdoor Construction
FC-SM-100 has a 6 mm black thermoplastic polyurethane jacket with a Kevlar strength member inside. The cable is rated for outdoor operation and has IP65 weatherproofing. Its construction also includes a ripcord for cable access during installation.
Performance
The specified repeatability is up to 0.5 dB, while the ambient operating temperature range is -40 to 80°C. The cable is supplied as a single unit in the 100 ft length.
Key Features
- 100 ft (30.5 m) outdoor OS1 single-mode fiber cable
- Simplex LC UPC connectors
- IP65 weatherproofing for outdoor installations
- 6 mm TPU jacket with internal Kevlar strength member
- 1310/1550 nm operation with ≤0.3 dB insertion loss
Applications
The FC-SM-100 is suited to outdoor fiber networking installations, including routing and switching deployments where a 100 ft pre-terminated single-mode LC fiber connection is required.
DC Supplies Product Note
FC-SM-100 is the 100 ft variant in Ubiquiti's FC-SM Fiber Cable range. The current Ubiquiti specifications identify this product as an OS1 simplex LC UPC fiber cable, while older Ubiquiti FiberCable documentation identifies FC-SM-100 as a 100 ft single-mode fiber model. The exact product version should therefore be matched to the required connector and fiber specifications before installation.
