FAQ
What type of connectors does this fiber optic cable have?
This cable features ST connectors on both ends, with two ST male connectors on each end. The ST connector design uses a bayonet-style locking mechanism that provides secure connections resistant to accidental disconnection in active network environments.
What is the cable length and fiber type?
The cable measures 65.6 feet (20 meters) in length and utilizes OM2-grade multimode fiber with a 50/125 µm core/cladding specification. This multimode fiber is optimized for short to medium-distance network applications and supports high-speed protocols like Gigabit Ethernet.
What color is the cable jacket and why does it matter?
This cable features a bright orange jacket, which is the standard color for multimode fiber optic cables. The distinctive color allows for quick visual identification during installation, troubleshooting, and cable management, helping network administrators differentiate it from single-mode or other cable types in infrastructure environments.
What does 'duplex' mean for this fiber optic cable?
Duplex refers to the cable having two separate fiber strands within one jacket, each with its own connector. This configuration allows for simultaneous bidirectional data transmission—one fiber carries data in one direction while the other carries data in the opposite direction—enabling full-duplex communication between network devices.
