FAQ
What types of equipment can I connect with this ST to SC fiber cable?
This cable is designed to connect network equipment with ST connectors to devices with SC interfaces. Common applications include linking fiber switches, media converters, servers, and storage devices that use different connector types. The duplex configuration supports full bidirectional communication between compatible networking hardware.
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported by this fiber optic cable?
This multimode fiber optic patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s. The 62.5/125 µm core specification and OM1 grading provide sufficient bandwidth for high-speed network applications including Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and other data-intensive protocols over short to medium distances.
Why does this cable have an LSZH jacket, and what are the benefits?
The LSZH (Low-Smoke, Zero-Halogen) jacket reduces smoke emission and eliminates halogen gases in case of fire, enhancing safety in enclosed spaces like data centers and server rooms. This construction is flame retardant, corrosion resistant, and meets stringent environmental standards including WEEE, REACH, and RoHS compliance for commercial installations.
How does the attenuation performance of this cable compare to industry standards?
This cable's attenuation loss meets or exceeds industry standards for multimode fiber optic cables. This ensures minimal signal degradation over the 1-meter length, maintaining reliable data transmission with consistent performance. The specification supports reliable network connections without significant signal loss in typical deployment scenarios.
What is the advantage of this cable's immunity to electrical interference?
Unlike copper cables, this fiber optic patch cable is completely immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). This makes it ideal for installations near power sources, electrical equipment, or in environments with high electrical noise where copper cables might experience signal degradation or data errors.
What warranty coverage does StarTech.com provide for this fiber optic cable?
StarTech.com provides a lifetime limited warranty for this fiber optic patch cable. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the product's lifetime, offering long-term reliability assurance for network infrastructure investments.
