Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic cable utilizes single-mode technology with OS2 specifications, designed for efficient light transmission over extended distances. The 9/125 µm core/cladding ratio optimizes signal integrity while maintaining compatibility with standard single-mode fiber equipment.
Both ends feature identical ST male connectors in a duplex arrangement, with two connectors per end to support transmit and receive channels. The ST connector design provides a bayonet-style locking mechanism for secure connections that resist accidental disconnection in rack-mounted or high-vibration environments.
