Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic patch cable utilizes industry-standard ST connectors with male terminations on both ends, ensuring compatibility with ST-compatible network equipment, patch panels, and fiber distribution units. The 62.5/125 µm multimode fiber specification makes it suitable for applications requiring reliable data transmission over moderate distances within buildings and data centers.
The cable's construction includes precise fiber alignment within the ST connectors to minimize insertion loss and maintain optimal signal quality. With a 16.4-foot length, this patch cable provides sufficient reach for most rack-to-rack or equipment-to-patch-panel connections while avoiding excessive cable slack that can complicate cable management.
Key Product Advantages
This C2G fiber patch cable offers several practical benefits for network administrators and installers working with fiber optic infrastructure. The straightforward ST-to-ST configuration eliminates compatibility concerns when connecting standard fiber equipment, while the duplex design provides both transmit and receive paths in a single, manageable cable assembly.

Deployment / Use Cases
The C2G 05579 Duplex Fiber Optic Patch Cable serves multiple roles in enterprise and data center networking environments. Its 16.4-foot length makes it particularly suitable for connecting network switches to fiber patch panels within the same rack or between adjacent racks in data center configurations.
Common deployment scenarios include connecting fiber switches to storage area network equipment, linking network switches in server rooms, and establishing connections between media converters in telecommunications closets. The cable's multimode fiber specification supports applications requiring reliable data transmission for network backbone connections, high-speed interconnects between network devices, and fiber channel storage networks.
Data Center Applications
Connect network switches, routers, and servers within racks or between adjacent cabinets in data center environments where reliable fiber connectivity is essential.
Enterprise Networking
Establish fiber connections between network equipment in server rooms, telecommunications closets, and equipment rooms where copper cabling cannot meet distance or bandwidth requirements.

FAQ
What type of fiber does this patch cable use?
This C2G patch cable uses 62.5/125 µm multimode fiber, which is a common specification for indoor fiber optic installations. Multimode fiber supports data transmission over moderate distances and is widely used in data centers, enterprise networks, and building backbone applications where reliable connectivity is required.
What connectors are on each end of this cable?
Both ends of this duplex fiber patch cable feature ST connectors with male terminations. Each end has two ST connectors (one for transmit and one for receive) in a duplex configuration. The ST connector design uses a twist-lock mechanism that provides secure connections while maintaining precise fiber alignment for optimal signal transmission.
What is the length of this fiber optic patch cable?
This C2G patch cable measures 16.4 feet in length, making it suitable for connecting network equipment within racks, between adjacent cabinets, or in typical data center configurations. This length provides sufficient reach for most rack-to-rack connections while minimizing excess cable that can complicate cable management in dense network environments.
What color is the cable jacket and why does it matter?
The cable features a bright orange jacket, which is the standard color for multimode fiber optic cables. This high-visibility color makes the cable easily identifiable in crowded network cabinets and data center environments, simplifying installation, troubleshooting, and maintenance tasks. The orange jacket also helps distinguish multimode cables from other cable types in complex network infrastructures.
