Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic patch cable utilizes a duplex design with two separate fibers for simultaneous bidirectional data transmission, supporting network protocols that require separate send and receive channels. The 62.5/125 µm core/cladding specification is optimized for multimode applications, balancing performance with cost-effectiveness for distances up to several hundred feet.
The LC connectors feature a small form factor that supports high-density installations, while the ST connectors provide secure bayonet-style locking for stable connections. This cable maintains signal integrity through precise fiber alignment and durable construction that resists bending and crushing in demanding environments.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Fiber Optic Cable Core/Cladding Specification, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
A strong technical summary explains how the product's interfaces, hardware profile, and operating characteristics work together in real deployment. Buyers often need this context to confirm compatibility with existing devices, expected performance in daily use, and whether installation will be straightforward for IT staff or end users.

Deployment / Use Cases
This fiber optic patch cable is engineered for professional networking environments where reliable connectivity between different types of fiber optic equipment is required. The 32.8 ft length makes it suitable for connecting equipment within the same rack, between adjacent racks, or from equipment to nearby patch panels.
Common applications include connecting switches with LC ports to older equipment with ST interfaces, linking servers to storage area networks, and establishing connections in telecommunications closets. The duplex design supports Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and other high-speed protocols that require separate transmit and receive paths.
Data Center Interconnects
Connect network switches to servers or storage devices in rack-mounted configurations where LC and ST interfaces coexist.
Equipment Upgrades
Bridge newer LC-based equipment with legacy ST-based devices during phased technology refresh cycles.
Physical Profile
This green fiber optic cable features a slim profile that facilitates neat cable management in high-density installations. The 2.88 oz weight minimizes stress on connectors and equipment ports while allowing for flexible routing through cable trays and raceways. The durable outer jacket protects the internal fibers while maintaining flexibility for installation around corners and through tight spaces.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 2.88 oz (81.65 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
What types of equipment can I connect with this LC to ST patch cable?
This cable connects equipment with LC fiber ports to devices with ST fiber interfaces. Common applications include linking modern network switches with LC ports to older routers, servers, or storage devices that use ST connectors. The duplex design supports equipment requiring separate transmit and receive fiber connections for full-duplex communication.
What does the 62.5/125 µm specification mean for this fiber cable?
The 62.5/125 µm specification refers to the core and cladding diameters of the multimode fiber. The 62.5 µm glass core transmits light signals, while the 125 µm cladding contains the light within the core. This is a common multimode fiber size optimized for short to medium distances with LED or VCSEL light sources, balancing performance with cost for most enterprise applications.
How does the duplex design differ from simplex fiber cables?
Duplex fiber cables contain two separate fibers within one cable jacket, allowing simultaneous bidirectional data transmission. One fiber carries data in one direction while the other carries data in the opposite direction. This is essential for network protocols like Ethernet that require separate transmit and receive paths. Simplex cables have only one fiber and are typically used where communication is one-way or where separate cables handle each direction.
What is the maximum distance this 62.5/125 µm cable supports?
The maximum distance depends on the network speed and light source used. For Gigabit Ethernet with LED sources, 62.5/125 µm multimode fiber typically supports distances up to 275 meters. For Fast Ethernet, distances can extend to 2 kilometers. Always consult your equipment specifications for exact distance limitations based on your specific application and data rate requirements.
Why is this fiber optic cable colored green?
The green color follows industry standards for identifying multimode fiber optic cables. Color coding helps technicians quickly distinguish between different cable types during installation and troubleshooting. Green specifically indicates 62.5/125 µm multimode fiber, while orange typically denotes 50/125 µm multimode, and yellow usually signifies single-mode fiber. This visual identification reduces errors in complex cabling environments.
What does the lifetime warranty cover for this patch cable?
The lifetime warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the normal life of the product. This includes issues with fiber breakage, connector integrity, or jacket durability under proper use conditions. The warranty provides assurance of long-term reliability for critical network connections, though it typically excludes damage from improper installation, modification, or environmental factors beyond specified operating conditions.
What power capacity is listed for this UPS?
Power specifications help show where C2G Fiber Optic Duplex Patch Cable - 32.8 ft Fiber Optic Network Cable - First End: 2 x LC - Male - Second End: 2 x ST - Male - Patch (37215) fits best, including the kind of load level, electrical environment, and backup role it is intended to support.
What runtime or backup profile is mentioned?
C2G Fiber Optic Duplex Patch Cable - 32.8 ft Fiber Optic Network Cable - First End: 2 x LC - Male - Second End: 2 x ST - Male - Patch (37215) should be evaluated around its backup-runtime profile, power capacity, and outlet layout so buyers can judge whether it fits workstation, networking, or edge-protection needs.
