Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic cable is built to OS2 standards, supporting single-mode transmission with a 9/125 µm core/cladding diameter. The ST connectors on both ends are male-type, providing a robust physical interface that locks into compatible ST ports to prevent accidental disconnections. The cable is engineered for low attenuation and high bandwidth, making it suitable for backbone networks, telecommunications links, and high-speed data transfers.
The simplex design uses a single fiber strand, ideal for point-to-point connections where bidirectional communication is handled separately. With a length of 9.8 ft, this cable accommodates typical short-run patching needs without excessive slack, reducing clutter and improving airflow in rack environments.
Key Product Advantages
This Axiom fiber optic cable delivers essential benefits for network infrastructure, combining durability, performance, and ease of use. Its single-mode fiber ensures efficient data transmission over longer distances with minimal signal degradation, while the ST connectors offer a reliable, industry-standard interface.

FAQ
What is the difference between single-mode and multimode fiber?
Single-mode fiber, like this Axiom cable, uses a smaller core (9/125 µm) to transmit data over longer distances with less signal loss, making it ideal for backbone networks and telecommunications. Multimode fiber has a larger core and is typically used for shorter distances within buildings or campuses.
What devices are compatible with this ST/ST fiber optic cable?
This cable is compatible with any network device equipped with ST ports, such as switches, routers, servers, and media converters. It is designed for single-mode fiber applications, so ensure your equipment supports single-mode transmission for optimal performance.
What is the maximum distance this cable can support?
As an OS2 single-mode fiber cable, it can support distances up to several kilometers, depending on the network equipment and signal strength. For specific distance limits, refer to your device's specifications, as factors like transmitter power and receiver sensitivity affect overall reach.
Why is the cable jacket yellow?
The yellow jacket is a standard color for single-mode fiber optic cables, aiding in quick identification and differentiation from multimode cables (often orange or aqua) in complex installations. This improves cable management and reduces errors during setup or maintenance.
