Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic cable features duplex fiber configuration with ST male connectors on one end and LC male connectors on the other, providing a direct patch solution for connecting equipment with different interface types. It supports OM2 and OS1 fiber categories, accommodating both 50/125 µm multi-mode and 9/125 µm single-mode fiber cores for flexible deployment across short to medium distances.
The cable incorporates Physical Contact (PC) connectors for optimal signal transmission with low insertion loss. A mode selector feature ensures proper alignment when transitioning between different fiber modes, maintaining signal integrity. With no shielding required for typical fiber applications, the cable maintains a lightweight profile at approximately 6.40 oz (181.44 g).

Deployment / Use Cases
This ST-to-LC duplex patch cable serves multiple roles in network infrastructure deployment. Its 2-meter length makes it ideal for rack-to-rack connections within data centers, connecting switches with ST ports to equipment with LC interfaces such as media converters or transceivers.
The cable supports both multi-mode and single-mode applications, allowing deployment in diverse environments from local area networks using OM2 fiber to longer-distance connections using OS1 single-mode fiber. The riser-rated jacket enables safe installation in vertical risers between building floors, while halogen-free construction makes it suitable for offices, hospitals, and other occupied spaces where fire safety is paramount.
Data Center Patching
Connect network switches with ST ports to SFP transceivers or media converters with LC interfaces within server racks and network cabinets.
Building Infrastructure
Deploy in vertical risers between floors using the OFNR-rated jacket, providing safe fiber connectivity throughout multi-story facilities.
Physical Profile
The cable features a multicolor design with a durable OFNR riser-rated jacket that provides protection during installation and long-term use. At 6.6 feet (2 meters) in length, it offers sufficient reach for typical rack-to-rack or equipment-to-patch panel connections while minimizing excess cable management. The approximate weight of 6.40 ounces (181.44 grams) ensures easy handling and installation without adding significant load to cable management systems.

FAQ
What types of fiber does this cable support?
This cable supports both multi-mode and single-mode fiber types. It is compatible with OM2 multi-mode fiber (50/125 µm core) and OS1 single-mode fiber (9/125 µm core), providing flexibility for different network applications and distance requirements.
What are the connector types on each end?
One end features two ST male connectors, while the other end has two LC male connectors. This configuration allows direct connection between equipment with ST interfaces and devices with LC interfaces without requiring additional adapters.
What does OFNR rating mean for this cable?
OFNR stands for Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser. This rating indicates the cable jacket meets fire safety standards for vertical installations in riser spaces between building floors. The riser-rated construction prevents flame propagation between floors.
What is the significance of halogen-free construction?
Halogen-free construction means the cable jacket contains no halogen materials that can produce toxic smoke when exposed to fire. This enhances safety in occupied spaces by reducing harmful emissions during fire events, making the cable suitable for offices, hospitals, and other populated environments.
What devices is this cable compatible with?
The cable is fully compatible with transceivers, media converters, and various network devices that utilize ST or LC fiber interfaces. It facilitates connections between network switches, routers, servers, and other equipment with these connector types.
What is the purpose of the mode selector feature?
The mode selector ensures proper alignment when transitioning between different fiber modes, particularly when connecting multi-mode and single-mode systems. This feature maintains signal integrity by correctly matching the fiber core characteristics, reducing potential signal loss or degradation.
