Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic cable utilizes multi-mode technology with a 62.5/125 µm core/cladding specification, optimized for OM1 applications at 850 nm wavelength. The cable terminates with industry-standard SC and ST connectors, providing compatibility with a wide range of network equipment including switches, routers, and media converters.
The duplex design incorporates two separate fibers within a single jacket, enabling full-duplex communication for efficient data transfer. Each end features two connectors: the first end with two SC male connectors and the second end with two ST male connectors, creating a complete SC-to-ST patch solution.
Key Product Advantages
This Axiom fiber optic cable delivers essential advantages for network infrastructure deployments. The combination of SC and ST connectors provides flexibility in mixed-connector environments, eliminating the need for adapter cables in many scenarios.

FAQ
What types of network devices is this fiber optic cable compatible with?
This Axiom SC/ST multimode fiber optic cable is compatible with network devices that support SC and ST connector interfaces, including switches, routers, media converters, network interface cards, and optical transceivers. It's designed for use in enterprise networks, data centers, and telecommunications environments where mixed connector types are present.
What is the significance of the 62.5/125 µm specification?
The 62.5/125 µm specification refers to the core and cladding diameters of the multimode fiber. The 62.5 µm core diameter is optimized for OM1-grade fiber performance, supporting data transmission at 850 nm wavelength. This specification ensures compatibility with legacy multimode equipment and provides reliable performance for short to medium-distance applications up to several hundred meters.
Can this cable be used for single-mode applications?
No, this cable is specifically designed for multimode applications using OM1-grade 62.5/125 µm fiber. It is not suitable for single-mode applications, which require different fiber core specifications (typically 9/125 µm) and different optical characteristics. Using multimode cable for single-mode applications would result in significant signal loss and performance issues.
What is the advantage of having both SC and ST connectors on the same cable?
The combination of SC and ST connectors on this duplex cable provides flexibility in mixed-connector environments, eliminating the need for separate adapter cables. This simplifies installations where equipment has different connector types, reduces connection points that could introduce signal loss, and streamlines cable management by providing a direct SC-to-ST connection solution.
