Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic cable utilizes OM2-grade multimode fiber with a 50/125 µm core/cladding specification, optimized for short to medium-distance data transmission. The ST connectors feature a bayonet-style coupling mechanism that provides secure, stable connections resistant to accidental disconnection in high-vibration environments.
The cable's construction supports high bandwidth applications, making it suitable for backbone connections, server links, and inter-switch patching. Its multimode design is cost-effective for deployments where distances do not exceed typical multimode ranges, balancing performance with infrastructure budget considerations.

FAQ
What is the length of this Axiom fiber optic cable?
This cable measures 32.8 feet, which is equivalent to 10 meters. This length provides flexibility for typical network patching and inter-rack connections in data center or enterprise environments without excessive slack.
What type of connectors does this cable have on each end?
Both ends feature two ST male connectors each, resulting in a duplex configuration. The ST connectors use a bayonet-style coupling mechanism that twists to lock securely into compatible ports, preventing accidental disconnection.
Is this a single-mode or multimode fiber cable?
This is a multimode fiber optic cable with an OM2 rating and a 50/125 µm core/cladding specification. Multimode fiber is cost-effective for shorter distances, typically up to a few hundred meters, making it suitable for data center and enterprise backbone applications.
What color is the cable jacket and why does it matter?
The cable has an orange jacket, which is standard for multimode fiber optic cables. This high-visibility color aids in quick identification during installation, troubleshooting, and cable management, especially in dense network environments with multiple cable types.
