Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic cable operates on single-mode fiber technology, optimized for long-distance data transmission with minimal signal loss. The OS2 rating indicates it meets standards for outdoor and loose-tube applications, though it is commonly used indoors for backbone connections.
With ST connectors, this cable ensures secure, twist-lock mating compatible with a wide range of network equipment. The 9/125 µm core/cladding specification is standard for single-mode fiber, supporting high bandwidth and low attenuation across its 13.1-foot length.
Key Product Advantages
This cable combines robust construction with practical features for dependable network performance. Its single-mode design supports high-speed data transfer over longer distances compared to multimode alternatives, reducing the need for signal boosters in extended setups.
Durable Build
The yellow jacket offers abrasion resistance and easy identification, while the ST connectors provide a secure, stable connection that minimizes dislodgement in high-vibration environments.
- Twist-lock ST connectors
- Abrasion-resistant jacket
- Clear color coding
Performance Reliability
OS2 rating ensures compliance with industry standards for low attenuation and high bandwidth, supporting data-intensive applications without signal degradation.
- Low signal loss
- High bandwidth support
- Standards-compliant
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is suited for various networking scenarios where single-mode fiber connectivity is required. Its 13.1-foot length makes it versatile for rack-to-rack, switch-to-router, or server-to-storage connections within data centers or enterprise networks.
Common applications include connecting network switches, routers, servers, or storage area network (SAN) devices. The simplex design is ideal for unidirectional data links, such as in fiber channel, Ethernet, or telecommunications setups where each strand handles transmit or receive functions.

FAQ
What is the difference between single-mode and multimode fiber?
Single-mode fiber, like this cable, uses a smaller core (9/125 µm) to transmit light directly with minimal dispersion, allowing longer distances and higher bandwidth. Multimode fiber has a larger core, typically 50/125 µm or 62.5/125 µm, and is better for shorter distances due to higher signal attenuation.
What does OS2 rating mean for this fiber optic cable?
OS2 indicates the cable meets standards for outdoor and loose-tube applications, with low attenuation suitable for long-distance transmission. It ensures compatibility with single-mode fiber systems and reliable performance in various environments, though it is often used indoors for backbone connections.
Can I use this cable for connecting network switches?
Yes, this cable is designed for network device connectivity, including switches, routers, servers, and storage devices. The ST male connectors provide a secure twist-lock connection, and the 13.1-foot length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack or within-rack setups in data centers or enterprise networks.
What is the warranty on this Axiom fiber optic cable?
This cable comes with a lifetime limited warranty, covering defects in materials and workmanship for the product's usable life. This provides long-term assurance of quality and reliability for your networking investments.
