Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic cable utilizes singlemode technology, which is ideal for high-bandwidth, long-distance applications due to its lower signal attenuation compared to multimode fibers. The OS2 rating indicates it is optimized for outdoor or long-haul use, supporting data rates suitable for modern network demands. The 9/125 µm core/cladding size is standard for singlemode fibers, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of optical transceivers and network hardware.
The connectors are precisely terminated with 2 x LC male connectors on one end and 2 x ST male connectors on the other, providing a duplex configuration for bidirectional data flow. This setup is commonly used in fiber optic patch panels, switches, and routers, facilitating seamless integration into existing network infrastructures.

FAQ
What is the difference between singlemode and multimode fiber optic cables?
Singlemode fiber, like this Axiom cable, uses a smaller core (9/125 µm) to transmit light in a single path, allowing for longer distances and higher bandwidth with less signal loss. It is ideal for long-haul applications such as telecommunications or data center backbones, whereas multimode fiber is typically used for shorter distances within buildings.
What does the OS2 rating mean for this fiber optic cable?
The OS2 rating indicates that this cable is optimized for outdoor or long-distance use, with specifications that support lower attenuation over extended runs. It ensures the cable meets industry standards for performance in demanding environments, making it suitable for backbone connections or inter-building links in network infrastructures.
Can this cable be used to connect LC and ST interfaces on network equipment?
Yes, this cable features 2 x LC male connectors on one end and 2 x ST male connectors on the other, providing a duplex configuration for connecting equipment with these interface types. It is commonly used in patch panels, switches, and routers to facilitate seamless integration in mixed-interface network setups.
What is the warranty coverage for this Axiom fiber optic cable?
This cable comes with a lifetime limited warranty, which covers defects in materials and workmanship for the product's lifespan. This warranty underscores the cable's durable construction and reliability, offering peace of mind for long-term deployments in critical network environments.
