DELTACO FB-31-5 InfiniBand and Fibre Optic Cable 1.5 m 2x ST to 2x ST Orange OM1 62.5 µm Full Duplex

The DELTACO FB-31-5 InfiniBand and Fibre Optic Cable is a 1.5-meter OM1 fiber optic patch cable designed for reliable high-speed data networking, telecommunications, and enterprise server connections. Featuring 2x ST connectors on both ends and built with a 62.5/125 µm core diameter, this orange cable supports full duplex transmission for efficient bidirectional data flow. It incorporates an LSZH jacket that is free from chlorine, metal connector housings with strain reliefs, and ceramic ferrules with UPC polish to ensure stable signal integrity.

Advantages

This fiber optic cable offers dependable signal transmission with a maximum 0.3dB insertion loss and more than 35dB return loss, ensuring minimal signal degradation over short distances. Each cable is individually tested and quality assured before deployment. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacket enhances safety in enclosed spaces by preventing toxic halogen emissions in the event of fire, while the robust metal connector housings and integrated strain reliefs protect the termination points from mechanical stress.

Suitable for

• Enterprise server connections
• Telecommunication networks
• Local area network data links
• High-speed data networking environments

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not suitable for long-distance outdoor installations unless appropriately housed in protective conduits, as it is designed for indoor networking environments. Additionally, it may not be compatible with network equipment that requires modern single-mode connections or alternative connector types without the use of adapters or media converters.

How to use

To use the DELTACO FB-31-5 cable, carefully inspect the connectors for dust or debris before installation. Remove the protective dust caps from the ST connectors and align them with the corresponding ST ports on your network hardware, patch panel, or transceiver. Push and twist the bayonet-style ST connectors securely into place until they lock. Avoid sharp bends or excessive pulling forces during routing to maintain optimal optical performance and prevent damage to the internal glass fiber core.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing networking equipment features compatible ST ports.
• Check that the 1.5-meter length is sufficient for your specific device placement.
• Confirm whether your network infrastructure requires OM1 multimode fiber or an alternative standard.

Usage recommendations: Handle the fiber optic cable with care to avoid bending radii below the manufacturer specifications. Keep dust caps on the connectors until the moment of installation to prevent contamination of the optical surfaces.
