5m OM2 SC to ST UPC Duplex Corning Fiber Optic Cable MultiMode 50/125 OFNR Rated, Orange

The OM2 50/125 SC/ST Multi-Mode Fiber Optic Cable is a versatile, high-performance networking solution designed for short to medium-range, high-speed data transmission in mixed connector environments. This cable excels in applications ranging from fast Ethernet and fiber channel to gigabit Ethernet and ATM networks, offering reliable performance and flexibility for various networking needs, particularly where legacy systems coexist with modern infrastructure.

At the core of this cable's design is the high-quality multi-mode fiber with a 50/125 μm core/cladding diameter, utilizing Corning® glass for optimal performance. This configuration is optimized for short to medium-range data transmission, making it ideal for applications within buildings or campus environments where signals need to travel moderate distances without degradation.

The cable features different connector types on each end, catering to diverse network needs. The SC connector on one end offers a simple push-pull mechanism for quick installation and removal, making it user-friendly in modern high-density environments. On the other end, the ST connector with its bayonet mount and locking system provides a secure, twist-lock connection, particularly useful in legacy systems or environments where cable stability is paramount.

Performance is a key attribute of this cable. With an insertion loss of < 0.3 dB and a return loss of > 35 dB, it maintains high signal integrity over its operational range, 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 is optimized for use with LED light sources, providing a cost-effective solution for many networking applications. This compatibility makes it an excellent choice for organizations looking to balance performance with budget considerations.

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.

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 high-density environments. The industry-standard orange coloration of the jacket enables quick identification of OM2 multi-mode fiber in complex cabling installations.

This OM2 50/125 SC/ST Multi-Mode Fiber Optic Cable is suitable for various applications, including enterprise networks, data centers, campus networks, and other environments requiring high-bandwidth, short to medium-range data transmission. It's particularly well-suited for fast Ethernet, fiber channel, gigabit Ethernet, and ATM applications.

The mixed connector types make this cable an excellent choice for networks transitioning between modern SC and legacy ST standards, or for environments where both connector types are in use. This flexibility can significantly reduce the need for additional adapters or conversion cables, streamlining network design and reducing potential points of failure.

By selecting this cable, network managers can effectively address current high-bandwidth requirements in environments where OM2 multi-mode fiber is the standard, while also accommodating mixed connector needs and legacy systems. Its combination of versatile connector design, reliable performance, and adherence to industry standards makes it a practical choice for modern networking needs across a range of industries and applications, especially in scenarios where maintaining compatibility with existing ST-based equipment is necessary while gradually upgrading to newer SC-based technologies.
