Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic cable utilizes multimode technology with a 50/125 µm core/cladding specification, optimized for OM2 performance standards. The duplex construction provides two independent fiber channels within a single cable, enabling simultaneous bidirectional data flow for network devices.
The cable terminates with two SC male connectors on one end and two ST male connectors on the opposite end, creating a reliable patch solution for connecting equipment with different interface types. This hybrid connector configuration offers flexibility in mixed-network environments where both SC and ST interfaces are present.

FAQ
What type of fiber does this cable use?
This cable uses OM2-grade multimode fiber with a 50/125 µm core/cladding specification. Multimode fiber is designed for short to medium-distance data transmission, typically within buildings or data centers, and supports high-speed network applications including gigabit Ethernet.
What connectors are on each end of the cable?
One end features two SC male connectors, while the opposite end has two ST male connectors. This SC-to-ST hybrid configuration allows direct connection between equipment with different interface types without requiring additional adapters or conversion devices.
What is the cable length and color?
The cable measures 15 meters (49.2 feet) in length and features a bright orange jacket. Orange is the standard industry color for multimode fiber optic cables, making identification and differentiation from other cable types straightforward during installation and maintenance.
What does 'duplex' mean for this fiber cable?
Duplex indicates the cable contains two separate fibers within a single jacket, enabling simultaneous bidirectional data transmission. One fiber handles transmit signals while the other handles receive signals, supporting full-duplex communication for network devices that require independent channels for sending and receiving data.
