Product Features
Technical Overview
Built to OM1 specifications, this cable supports multimode fiber applications with a core/cladding size of 62.5/125 µm. The duplex design separates transmit and receive fibers within a single jacket, simplifying cable management while maintaining signal integrity.
The SC and ST connectors are industry-standard male interfaces, each provided in a duplex configuration (2 per end) for full bidirectional connectivity. The Physical Contact (PC) polish on the fiber ends reduces back reflection and improves optical performance in data center and enterprise environments.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Fiber Optic Mode, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
This patch cable delivers consistent optical performance with straightforward deployment. Its design prioritizes reliability and compatibility in mixed-vendor network environments.
Riser-Rated Safety
The OFNR LSZH jacket meets riser-rated fire safety standards, producing low smoke and zero halogen emissions for safer installations in vertical runs and plenum spaces.
- Fire-resistant
- Low smoke emission
- Halogen-free
Durable Construction
Stranded fiber and robust connectors withstand repeated insertions and removals, maintaining signal integrity through routine maintenance and reconfigurations.
- Flexible stranded design
- Reliable mating cycles
- Strain relief
Deployment / Use Cases
This ST to SC patch cable is ideal for connecting network equipment in data centers, server rooms, and enterprise networks. It bridges devices with ST and SC interfaces, such as switches, routers, media converters, and optical transceivers.
Common applications include patching between fiber panels and active equipment, extending multimode fiber runs, and interconnecting legacy and modern optical components. The orange color provides quick visual identification in dense cable bundles, simplifying troubleshooting and maintenance.
Data Center Patching
Connect OM1-compatible switches, routers, and storage arrays in rack environments where ST and SC interfaces are present.
Network Upgrades
Integrate with existing OM1 multimode infrastructure during network expansions or equipment refreshes without requiring fiber recabling.

FAQ
What is the cable length and fiber type?
This cable is 1 meter (3.3 feet) long and uses OM1 duplex multimode fiber with a 62.5/125 µm core/cladding specification. It is designed for short-distance patching within racks, between adjacent equipment, or in server room environments where multimode fiber is standard.
What connectors are on each end?
One end has two SC male connectors, and the other end has two ST male connectors. This duplex configuration provides separate transmit and receive fibers for full bidirectional communication between devices with SC and ST interfaces, such as switches, media converters, or optical transceivers.
What does the OFNR LSZH jacket rating mean?
OFNR stands for Optical Fiber Non-Conductive Riser, indicating the jacket is rated for vertical riser installations without conductive elements. LSZH means Low Smoke Zero Halogen, so the jacket produces minimal smoke and no halogen gases when exposed to fire, enhancing safety in plenum spaces and enclosed areas.
Is this cable shielded?
No, this cable does not include shielding. Fiber optic cables transmit light rather than electrical signals, so shielding is not typically required for electromagnetic interference protection. The primary protection comes from the durable LSZH jacket and internal fiber buffering.
What is Physical Contact (PC) polish?
Physical Contact polish refers to the finishing of the fiber end faces to ensure they mate flush when connected. This reduces air gaps and back reflection, improving optical signal integrity and minimizing insertion loss. It is a standard polish for reliable multimode fiber performance in data and network applications.
What warranty does this cable include?
AddOn provides a 3 Year Lifetime limited warranty for this cable, covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. This warranty supports long-term deployment in professional network environments, offering assurance of durability and performance consistency.
