Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic patch cable utilizes single-mode OS2 fiber optimized for long-distance transmission with minimal signal loss. The 9/125 µm core/cladding design ensures precise light propagation for reliable data transfer across the full 30-meter length.
Both ends feature industry-standard connectors: two SC male connectors on one end and two ST male connectors on the opposite end. The Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) polish on all connectors minimizes back reflection and insertion loss for optimal signal integrity.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Fiber Optic Mode, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
This cable combines critical performance features with practical installation benefits for network professionals. The ST to SC connector configuration bridges equipment with different interface requirements, while the riser-rated construction meets fire safety standards for vertical installations.
Reliable Connectivity
UPC-polished connectors ensure minimal signal loss and back reflection for consistent network performance.
- Low insertion loss
- Reduced back reflection
- Stable signal transmission
Installation Flexibility
The stranded cable construction and riser-rated OFNR jacket support both flexible routing and compliance with vertical run requirements.
- Flexible stranded design
- OFNR fire safety rating
- 30-meter reach for extended runs
Deployment / Use Cases
This ST to SC fiber patch cable serves as a versatile connectivity solution for various network environments. The 30-meter length provides ample reach for connecting equipment across server rooms, data centers, or between network closets.
Common applications include patching between switches and media converters, connecting routers to optical network terminals, or linking patch panels to network devices. The cable supports connections to hubs, switches, media converters, routers, and other network equipment requiring ST to SC fiber interfaces.
Physical Profile
The cable features a distinctive yellow jacket for easy identification in crowded network environments. With an approximate weight of 11.20 oz (317.51 g), the cable maintains a manageable profile for installation while providing the durability needed for permanent infrastructure deployments.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 11.20 oz (317.51 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
What types of equipment can I connect with this ST to SC fiber patch cable?
This cable connects devices with ST interfaces to equipment with SC interfaces, including network switches, routers, media converters, patch panels, hubs, and various network devices. The male connectors on both ends provide direct patching without requiring additional adapters.
Is this cable suitable for vertical runs between building floors?
Yes, the cable features a riser-rated OFNR jacket that meets fire safety standards for vertical installations. This makes it appropriate for runs through riser shafts and between floors in commercial buildings where fire code compliance is required.
What is the advantage of UPC connectors on this fiber cable?
Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) connectors provide a superior polish that minimizes back reflection and insertion loss compared to standard PC connectors. This results in better signal integrity, especially important for single-mode fiber applications where signal quality is critical over longer distances.
How does single-mode OS2 fiber differ from multimode fiber?
Single-mode OS2 fiber uses a smaller 9/125 µm core that allows only one mode of light to propagate, enabling longer transmission distances with less signal attenuation compared to multimode fiber. OS2 is the performance category for single-mode fiber, optimized for high-bandwidth applications over extended reaches.
What does the 'duplex' designation mean for this fiber cable?
Duplex indicates the cable contains two separate fibers within one jacket—one for transmitting data and one for receiving data. This allows full-duplex communication where data can flow simultaneously in both directions, which is standard for most fiber network connections requiring bidirectional communication.
What warranty coverage does this AddOn fiber patch cable include?
The cable comes with a lifetime limited warranty from AddOn, providing long-term assurance of product quality and reliability. This warranty supports the cable's use in permanent infrastructure installations where durability and consistent performance are essential.
