Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic cable utilizes singlemode technology, which is ideal for long-distance transmission with minimal signal attenuation. The OS2 rating indicates it's suitable for outdoor and loose tube applications, though it performs equally well in indoor environments. The 9/125 µm specification refers to the core and cladding diameters, optimized for efficient light transmission through the fiber.
The duplex configuration provides separate transmit and receive channels, ensuring full-duplex communication capabilities. The LC connectors offer high-density connections with their small form factor, while the ST connectors provide reliable bayonet-style locking for secure connections. This combination makes the cable adaptable to various patch panel and equipment interface requirements.
Key Product Advantages
This Axiom fiber optic cable delivers several distinct advantages for network professionals. The hybrid LC-to-ST configuration provides flexibility when connecting equipment with different interface types, eliminating the need for additional adapters or patch cords. The extended 295.3-foot length reduces the number of connection points required in long-distance runs, minimizing potential failure points and signal degradation.
Durability Features
The crush-resistant construction protects the delicate fiber cores from physical damage during installation and in high-density cable environments. This durability extends the cable's service life and reduces maintenance requirements.
- Withstands compression forces
- Maintains performance in tight spaces
- Resists installation damage
Visual Management
The bright yellow jacket provides immediate visual identification, simplifying cable tracing, troubleshooting, and organization in complex network infrastructures. This color coding supports efficient cable management practices.
- High visibility for easy tracing
- Supports color-coded network schemes
- Reduces installation errors
Deployment / Use Cases
This LC/ST fiber optic cable is ideal for connecting network switches, routers, servers, and other equipment where different connector types are present. The 295.3-foot length makes it particularly suitable for runs between equipment racks, across data center floors, or between buildings in campus environments.
Common applications include connecting LC-based SFP transceivers to ST-based patch panels, linking network equipment in telecommunications closets, and extending connections in enterprise network backbones. The singlemode OS2 construction supports high-bandwidth applications such as 10GbE, 40GbE, and beyond, making it future-proof for evolving network requirements.
Data Center Applications
Connect top-of-rack switches to end-of-row aggregation switches where different connector types are deployed. The extended length accommodates raised floor or overhead cable tray routing.
Enterprise Network Backbone
Link network distribution frames between floors or buildings. The OS2 rating ensures reliable performance across longer distances with minimal signal degradation.

FAQ
What is the difference between singlemode and multimode fiber?
Singlemode fiber has a smaller core (9µm) that allows only one mode of light to propagate, enabling longer transmission distances with less signal loss. This Axiom cable uses singlemode technology, making it ideal for runs up to 10 kilometers or more, compared to multimode which is typically limited to 550 meters for similar applications.
Can I use this cable to connect LC equipment to ST equipment?
Yes, this cable is specifically designed as a hybrid patch cord with LC connectors on one end and ST connectors on the other. It directly connects equipment with LC interfaces to equipment with ST interfaces without requiring additional adapters, simplifying your network infrastructure and reducing potential connection points.
What does the OS2 rating mean for this fiber optic cable?
OS2 indicates the cable meets specifications for outdoor and loose tube applications with superior performance characteristics. OS2 cables have lower attenuation rates than OS1 cables and are engineered for longer distance transmissions. This rating ensures the cable maintains signal integrity across its entire 295.3-foot length with minimal loss.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor installation?
While the OS2 rating indicates outdoor capability, this specific cable's jacket material isn't specified as outdoor-rated. For permanent outdoor installations, consult the manufacturer's specifications or consider cables explicitly rated for outdoor use with additional protection against moisture, UV exposure, and temperature extremes.
