Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic cable utilizes OM1-grade multimode fiber, optimized for 850 nm and 1300 nm wavelengths to support Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and other data communication protocols. The 62.5/125 µm core/cladding design ensures efficient light propagation with minimal signal loss over its 26.2-foot length.
The ST connectors provide a secure bayonet-style connection that resists accidental disconnection in high-vibration environments. Each end terminates with two ST male connectors in a duplex configuration, enabling simultaneous bidirectional data flow for full-duplex network applications.

FAQ
What type of fiber is used in this cable?
This cable uses OM1-grade multimode fiber with a 62.5/125 µm core/cladding specification. Multimode fiber is designed for short-distance data transmission, typically supporting distances up to 300 meters for Gigabit Ethernet applications. The 62.5/125 µm dimensions refer to the fiber core and cladding diameters, which are standard for OM1 fiber installations.
What connectors are on each end of the cable?
Both ends feature two ST male connectors in a duplex configuration. Each end has identical connectors, making this a straight-through patch cable. The ST connectors use a bayonet-style locking mechanism that provides secure connections resistant to accidental disconnection in network environments.
What is the cable length and color?
The cable measures 26.2 feet (8 meters) in length, providing sufficient reach for typical rack-to-rack or equipment-to-patch-panel connections. It features an orange PVC jacket, which follows industry standard color coding for multimode fiber optic cables according to TIA-598 recommendations.
What network applications is this cable suitable for?
This ST/ST multimode fiber optic cable is designed for network device connections including switches, routers, servers, and media converters. It supports protocols such as Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and telecommunications standards where OM1 multimode fiber specifications are appropriate for the distance requirements.
