Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic patch cable utilizes multimode OM1 fiber with a 62.5/125 µm core/cladding specification, supporting 200/500 MHz·km OFL bandwidth at 850/1300 nm wavelengths. The cable is tested in accordance with EIA/TIA-455-171A standards, ensuring consistent optical performance and reliability in network deployments.
The connectors feature a molded design with reinforced strain relief, providing pull resistance, impact resistance, flex resistance, snag resistance, strain resistance, and crush resistance. These durability enhancements protect the fiber terminations from physical stress during installation and routine handling, maintaining signal integrity over the cable's lifetime.
Key Product Advantages
This LC-ST fiber optic patch cable combines robust construction with practical features that enhance network reliability and ease of installation. The plenum-rated jacket meets OFNR standards for use in air-handling spaces, providing flexibility in deployment while maintaining fire safety compliance.
Durable Connector Design
Molded connectors with reinforced strain relief offer superior protection against pulling, impact, flexing, snagging, strain, and crushing, ensuring long-term performance in active network environments.
- Pull resistant
- Impact resistant
- Flex resistant
- Snag resistant
- Strain resistant
- Crush resistant
Environmental Compliance
The cable is RoHS compliant and features a plenum-rated jacket, making it suitable for installations where environmental regulations and fire safety standards are priorities.
Deployment / Use Cases
This LC-ST duplex multimode patch cable is designed for connecting network equipment in data centers, server rooms, office networks, and telecommunications installations. The LC connectors provide a small form factor for high-density patching, while ST connectors offer a reliable, twist-lock connection for legacy or specific hardware requirements.
Common applications include linking fiber optic switches to patch panels, connecting media converters, establishing backbone links between network closets, and interfacing with storage area networks (SANs) or other fiber-dependent systems. The 6.6-foot length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack or within-rack connections, reducing cable clutter while maintaining optimal signal quality.

FAQ
What types of connectors does this fiber optic cable have?
This cable features duplex LC connectors on one end and duplex ST connectors on the other end. Both connectors are male gender, with two fibers per end (one for transmit, one for receive) in a duplex configuration. The LC connectors provide a small form factor for high-density applications, while the ST connectors offer a reliable twist-lock connection commonly used in network infrastructure.
What is the jacket rating and why does it matter?
The cable has a plenum-rated (OFNR) PVC jacket. Plenum-rated jackets are designed for use in air-handling spaces (like ceilings and raised floors) without requiring conduit in many building codes, as they produce less smoke and toxic fumes in case of fire. This makes the cable suitable for installations where fire safety regulations are strict, such as commercial buildings, data centers, and office environments.
What is the warranty on this fiber optic patch cable?
C2G provides a lifetime warranty for this fiber optic patch cable. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product, offering long-term reliability and peace of mind for network installations. The warranty reflects the durable construction and quality testing that goes into each cable.
What applications is this LC-ST patch cable best suited for?
This cable is ideal for connecting network equipment where LC to ST fiber interfaces are required, such as linking modern LC-based switches to legacy ST-based patch panels or devices. Common uses include data center patching, server room connections, telecommunications installations, and backbone links in enterprise networks. The 6.6-foot length makes it practical for rack-to-rack or within-rack deployments.
