FAQ
What is the difference between SC and ST connectors on this cable?
This cable features SC connectors on one end and ST connectors on the other end. SC connectors use a push-pull latching mechanism for secure connections, while ST connectors utilize a bayonet-style coupling that twists to lock in place. Both are industry-standard fiber optic connectors, with the SC/ST combination providing compatibility with equipment using either interface type without requiring additional adapters.
What does OM2 rating mean for this fiber optic cable?
OM2 is a performance grade for multimode fiber optic cables, indicating it supports data transmission at specified distances for various network protocols. This OM2-rated cable is optimized for use with 850nm light sources and can support Gigabit Ethernet applications at distances up to its 39.4-foot length with minimal signal loss, making it suitable for most short to medium-distance network connections within data centers and enterprise environments.
Can this cable be used for single-mode fiber applications?
No, this is specifically a multimode fiber optic cable with 50/125 µm core/cladding dimensions. Single-mode fiber uses a much smaller core (typically 9/125 µm) and different light transmission characteristics. Attempting to use this multimode cable with single-mode equipment would result in significant signal loss and improper operation, as the two fiber types are not compatible with each other's transceivers and light sources.
What types of network devices are compatible with this cable?
This cable is designed to connect network devices equipped with SC or ST fiber optic ports, including switches, routers, media converters, and servers with fiber network interface cards. The male connectors interface directly with standard female SC or ST ports commonly found on enterprise networking equipment. The duplex configuration supports devices requiring separate transmit and receive channels for full-duplex communication.
