Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic cable operates on OM1 multimode fiber standards with a 62.5/125 µm core/cladding diameter, optimized for short to medium-distance data links. The ST connectors provide a bayonet-style locking mechanism for secure connections, while the MT-RJ connectors offer a compact, duplex interface in a single housing. The 26.2-foot length provides flexibility in rack-to-rack or device-to-patch panel installations without excessive slack.
Multimode fiber technology supports high bandwidth over distances suitable for LANs, data centers, and campus networks. The duplex configuration maintains separate transmit and receive paths, essential for full-duplex communication protocols. Orange coloration follows TIA-598-C standards for easy identification of 62.5/125 µm multimode cables in mixed fiber environments.
Key Product Advantages
This cable combines reliable multimode fiber performance with a hybrid connector configuration that bridges legacy ST interfaces with modern MT-RJ ports. The duplex design ensures consistent signal integrity for both transmission and reception paths, reducing installation errors and maintenance downtime.
Hybrid Connectivity
Enables direct connections between equipment with ST ports and devices using MT-RJ interfaces, eliminating the need for adapter panels or additional patch cords.
- ST to MT-RJ conversion
- Duplex polarity maintained
- No intermediate adapters required
Durable Construction
Built with industry-standard 62.5/125 µm multimode fiber that delivers stable performance across typical enterprise networking distances.
- OM1 compliant
- Orange jacket for easy identification
- Lifetime warranty coverage
Deployment / Use Cases
This ST/MT-RJ fiber optic cable is ideal for network environments where equipment with different connector types must be interconnected. Common applications include connecting older networking gear with ST ports to newer switches or media converters featuring MT-RJ interfaces.
The 26.2-foot length suits scenarios requiring moderate reach between racks, within data centers, or between adjacent networking cabinets. The duplex configuration supports Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and other high-speed protocols that require separate transmit and receive fibers. Orange coloration helps technicians quickly identify cable type during installation, troubleshooting, or network reconfiguration.
Network Infrastructure Upgrades
Bridge legacy ST-based equipment with modern MT-RJ devices during phased network upgrades or technology refresh projects.
Data Center Interconnects
Connect servers, storage arrays, or network switches across short to medium distances within rack rows or between adjacent cabinets.

FAQ
What types of devices can I connect with this fiber optic cable?
This cable connects network equipment with ST fiber ports to devices with MT-RJ interfaces. Common applications include linking older switches, routers, or media converters with ST connectors to newer networking gear featuring compact MT-RJ ports. The cable supports various network devices requiring multimode fiber connectivity for protocols like Gigabit Ethernet or Fibre Channel.
What does the '62.5/125 µm' specification mean for this cable?
The 62.5/125 µm specification refers to the core and cladding diameters of the multimode fiber. The 62.5-micron core carries the light signals, while the 125-micron cladding contains and guides the light within the core. This is the standard dimension for OM1 multimode fiber, which supports data transmission over distances up to 33 meters for 10 Gigabit Ethernet or 275 meters for Gigabit Ethernet applications.
Why is this cable orange, and does the color matter?
The orange jacket follows TIA-598-C industry standards that designate orange as the color for 62.5/125 µm multimode fiber cables. This color coding helps network technicians quickly identify cable types during installation, maintenance, or troubleshooting. In environments with mixed fiber types (singlemode, different multimode grades), the orange color prevents confusion and ensures proper cable deployment.
What is the difference between ST and MT-RJ connectors on this cable?
ST connectors use a bayonet-style coupling mechanism with a 2.5mm ceramic ferrule, commonly found on older networking equipment. MT-RJ connectors feature a compact, duplex design with both fibers in a single plastic housing, often used on newer switches and media converters. This cable provides direct conversion between these connector types without requiring additional adapters or patch panels.
