Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic cable utilizes OS2 single-mode fiber, which supports high bandwidth over extended distances, making it suitable for backbone connections, telecommunications, and enterprise networking. The 9/125 µm core/cladding design ensures efficient light transmission with low attenuation.
The duplex configuration includes two separate fibers for bidirectional communication, each terminated with industry-standard connectors. The SC connectors offer a push-pull latching mechanism for secure connections, while the ST connectors provide a bayonet-style coupling for durability in high-vibration environments.

FAQ
What is the difference between single-mode and multimode fiber?
Single-mode fiber, like this Axiom cable, uses a smaller core (9 µm) to transmit light in a single path, allowing for longer distances and higher bandwidth with less signal loss. Multimode fiber has a larger core and is typically used for shorter distances. This cable's single-mode design makes it suitable for backbone or long-haul network connections.
What devices can I connect with this SC/ST fiber optic cable?
This cable is designed for network devices that support SC or ST connectors, such as switches, routers, media converters, or fiber patch panels. The duplex configuration with male connectors on both ends allows it to patch between equipment with SC ports and ST ports, providing interoperability in mixed-connector environments.
What does the OS2 rating mean for this fiber optic cable?
OS2 is a specification for single-mode fiber optic cables, indicating it meets standards for low attenuation and high performance over long distances. This rating ensures the cable is suitable for outdoor or indoor use where signal integrity is critical, such as in telecommunications or enterprise network backbones.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor installation?
While this cable has a durable jacket, it is primarily designed for indoor use or protected outdoor environments like conduits. For direct burial or exposed outdoor runs, a cable with additional weatherproofing and armor may be required. Always check local codes and manufacturer specifications for outdoor suitability.
