FAQ
What types of devices is this fiber optic cable compatible with?
This cable connects networking equipment with LC ports to devices with ST ports, including switches, routers, servers, storage arrays, media converters, and network interface cards. It's designed for network devices in data center, enterprise, and telecommunications environments where reliable fiber connectivity is required.
What does the OM4 rating mean for this cable?
OM4 is a performance grade for multimode fiber optic cables that specifies enhanced bandwidth and lower attenuation compared to OM1, OM2, and OM3 grades. This OM4-rated cable supports higher data rates over longer distances within multimode applications, making it suitable for 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE networks with appropriate transceivers and distance limitations.
How does the 50/125 µm specification affect cable performance?
The 50/125 µm measurement refers to the fiber core diameter (50 micrometers) and cladding diameter (125 micrometers). This specific geometry optimizes light transmission for multimode applications, balancing bandwidth capabilities with practical manufacturing considerations. Compared to 62.5/125 µm fiber, 50/125 µm fiber typically offers higher bandwidth, making it well-suited for modern high-speed network applications.
What is the advantage of having LC connectors on one end and ST connectors on the other?
The LC-to-ST configuration provides connectivity flexibility between equipment with different interface types. LC connectors are compact and commonly found on modern networking gear, while ST connectors are frequently used on legacy equipment and certain specialized devices. This hybrid cable eliminates the need for separate adapters or conversion modules when connecting disparate equipment types.
