Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic patch cable features a 62.5/125 µm core/cladding specification, optimized for multi-mode applications with a data transfer rate of 1 Gbit/s. The duplex design provides separate transmit and receive channels, reducing crosstalk and maintaining signal clarity across network connections.
The ST connectors on one end offer robust bayonet-style coupling for secure mating, while the LC connectors on the opposite end provide a small-form-factor solution for high-density installations. This cable is fully compatible with standard network devices, ensuring plug-and-play operation without configuration overhead.
Key Product Advantages
This cable delivers exceptional quality and reliability for critical network infrastructure, with a focus on upright compatibility and long-term performance. The precise engineering of the fiber core and connector alignment minimizes insertion loss and maximizes optical efficiency.
Durable Construction
The red PVC jacket is rated OFNR for fire resistance in plenum spaces, providing safety and durability in demanding environments.
- Fire-resistant jacket
- Plenum-rated
- Abrasion-resistant
Versatile Connectivity
The ST to LC connector combination allows flexible integration with a wide range of network equipment, from legacy systems to modern high-density setups.
- ST for secure coupling
- LC for high density
- Duplex for full-duplex operation
Deployment / Use Cases
This fiber optic patch cable is ideal for connecting network switches, routers, servers, and storage devices in data centers, enterprise networks, and telecommunications facilities. Its 9.8 ft length makes it suitable for rack-to-rack or within-rack patching where precise cable management is required.

FAQ
What is the cable length and connector types?
This cable is 9.8 ft (2.99 m) long with ST connectors on one end and LC connectors on the other end. Both ends are duplex, meaning they have two connectors each for separate transmit and receive channels, providing a complete fiber optic link for network devices.
Is this cable multi-mode or single-mode?
This is a multi-mode fiber optic cable with a 62.5/125 µm core/cladding specification. Multi-mode fiber is designed for short to medium-distance applications, typically up to a few hundred meters, and is commonly used in data centers and enterprise networks for high-speed data transfer.
What does OFNR jacket rating mean?
OFNR stands for Optical Fiber Non-Conductive Riser, indicating the jacket is fire-resistant and suitable for use in plenum spaces (air handling areas) without conduit. This rating ensures safety in building installations where cables run through ceilings or raised floors, meeting fire codes for reduced flame spread and smoke emission.
What is the data transfer rate?
The cable supports a data transfer rate of 1 Gbit/s, making it suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed network protocols. This rate ensures efficient bandwidth for applications like video streaming, data backup, and real-time communications in enterprise environments.
