Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic cable utilizes singlemode technology with a 9/125 µm core/cladding specification, optimized for long-haul network applications where signal integrity over distance is critical. The ST connectors provide a bayonet-style locking mechanism that ensures stable connections in networking equipment, patch panels, and fiber distribution frames.
The cable's OS2 rating indicates it meets industry standards for outdoor and loose tube applications, though it functions equally well in indoor environments where singlemode fiber is required. With identical ST male connectors on both ends, this cable serves as a direct patch solution between compatible network devices.
Key Product Advantages
This Axiom fiber optic cable delivers several practical benefits for network deployments. The singlemode fiber construction enables longer transmission distances compared to multimode alternatives, making it suitable for connecting network equipment across buildings or throughout large facilities.
Reliable Connectivity
ST connectors feature a robust bayonet locking mechanism that prevents accidental disconnections in high-vibration environments or when cables are moved during maintenance.
- Positive locking connection
- Durable metal housing
- Standardized interface
Visual Identification
The bright yellow jacket provides immediate visual recognition in cable management systems, reducing installation errors and simplifying troubleshooting during network maintenance.
- High-visibility color
- Quick identification
- Reduced installation errors
Long-Distance Performance
Singlemode OS2 fiber supports transmission over greater distances with lower attenuation, making this cable ideal for backbone connections between network switches, routers, or other infrastructure components.
- Extended reach
- Minimal signal loss
- Backbone-ready
Deployment / Use Cases
This ST/ST singlemode fiber optic cable serves multiple roles in network infrastructure. It functions effectively as a patch cable between fiber optic network switches and routers, providing the physical layer connectivity for high-speed data transmission in enterprise networks, data centers, and telecommunications installations.
The cable's 32.8-foot length offers flexibility for connecting equipment within server racks, between adjacent racks, or across moderate distances in equipment rooms. Common applications include connecting media converters, linking network switches in different cabinets, establishing connections to fiber distribution panels, and extending fiber runs to remote network devices.
Data Center Applications
Connect fiber switches to patch panels or link networking equipment across cabinets within the same data center row. The singlemode fiber ensures reliable performance even over longer intra-facility distances.
Enterprise Network Backbone
Establish connections between core network switches in different building floors or wings. The OS2-grade fiber maintains signal integrity across campus environments where distance requirements exceed multimode capabilities.

FAQ
What type of fiber does this cable use?
This cable uses singlemode OS2-grade fiber with a 9/125 µm core/cladding specification. Singlemode fiber supports longer transmission distances compared to multimode fiber, making it ideal for connections between network equipment across buildings or throughout large facilities where signal integrity over distance is critical.
What connectors are on each end of the cable?
Both ends feature ST male connectors. The ST connector uses a bayonet-style locking mechanism that provides a secure, vibration-resistant connection. This standardized interface is commonly found on network switches, media converters, patch panels, and other fiber optic networking equipment.
What is the cable length?
The cable measures 10 meters, which equals 32.8 feet. This length provides flexibility for connecting equipment within server racks, between adjacent cabinets, or across moderate distances in equipment rooms without requiring intermediate connections or splicing.
What color is the cable jacket?
The cable features a bright yellow jacket. This high-visibility color helps technicians quickly identify fiber optic cables in complex network environments, reducing installation errors and simplifying troubleshooting during maintenance or upgrades to network infrastructure.
