20m OS2 ST to ST UPC Duplex Corning Fiber Optic Cable SingleMode 9/125 OFNR Rated, Yellow

The OS2 Duplex Single Mode ST/ST 9/125 Fiber Optic Cable is a robust, high-performance networking solution designed for long-range, high-speed data transmission, particularly in environments maintaining or integrating legacy systems. This cable excels in applications ranging from established data centers and enterprise networks to telecommunications infrastructure and long-distance networks, offering superior performance and reliability over extended distances.

At the core of this cable's design is the high-quality single-mode fiber with a 9/125 μm core/cladding diameter, utilizing Corning® glass for optimal performance. This configuration is optimized for long-range data transmission, making it ideal for applications that require signals to travel over significant distances without degradation. The duplex design, featuring two strands, allows for bidirectional communication, essential in many networking setups.

The cable features ST connectors on both ends, known for their reliability and widespread use in legacy systems. These connectors are designed with a bayonet mount and locking system, providing a secure, twist-lock connection. This design is particularly useful in environments where cable stability is paramount, ensuring consistent performance even in high-vibration or high-traffic areas.

Performance is a key attribute of this cable. With an insertion loss of ≤ 0.3 dB and a return loss of ≥ 55 dB, it maintains superior signal integrity over long distances, ensuring reliable data transmission across the network. The UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polish further minimizes back reflection and signal loss, contributing to the cable's excellent performance.

Safety and compliance are addressed through the cable's OFNR (Riser) rated jacket, which allows for installation in vertical shafts between floors in buildings. This rating ensures enhanced fire safety, crucial for protecting your valuable infrastructure and meeting building codes.

The cable's physical attributes are tailored for professional use. With a jacket outer diameter of 2.0mm, it strikes a balance between durability and flexibility, facilitating easy routing and management in various environments. The industry-standard yellow coloration of the jacket enables quick identification of single-mode fiber in complex cabling installations.

Quality assurance is paramount, with each cable undergoing 100% factory testing. A test report is included in every package, providing verified performance data for your peace of mind.

This OS2 Duplex Single Mode ST/ST 9/125 Fiber Optic Cable is suitable for various applications, including data centers, enterprise networks, telecommunications infrastructure, long-distance networks, campus networks, high-speed internet backbones, and metropolitan area networks. It's particularly well-suited for Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and other high-bandwidth, long-range data applications in environments that maintain ST connector standards.

The ST/ST configuration makes this cable an excellent choice for maintaining or upgrading legacy networks, ensuring compatibility with existing infrastructure while still providing high-performance capabilities. This can be particularly valuable in industries or institutions where equipment upgrades happen gradually, allowing for a smooth transition between older and newer technologies.

By selecting this cable, network managers can effectively address current high-bandwidth, long-distance requirements while maintaining compatibility with ST-based systems. Its combination of long-range capability, secure connector design, superior performance, and adherence to industry standards makes it a practical and reliable choice for modern networking needs across a wide range of industries and applications, especially those with legacy system considerations.
