Network Cable Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OM2 50/125 µm ST/ST orange 15.0 m

The Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OM2 50/125 µm with ST/ST connectors and a 15.0 m length is designed for multimode fiber connections in local area networks, server rooms and telecom cabinets. Its OM2 50/125 µm core/cladding geometry supports reliable short- to medium-distance optical links. The bright orange jacket provides clear visual identification for multimode infrastructure and simplifies cable management in dense installations.

Advantages

This duplex patch cable uses OM2 multimode fiber to deliver stable optical performance for equipment requiring multimode connectivity. ST/ST bayonet-style connectors offer quick, tool-free engagement and robust retention in patch panels and transceivers designed for ST interfaces. The 15.0 m length provides flexibility to route between racks, switches and patch panels without additional splicing, while the orange jacket improves traceability and reduces installation errors.

Suitable for

• Short- to medium-distance multimode links within data centers and server rooms
• Connecting network switches, transceivers and patch panels with ST interfaces
• Structured cabling runs where color coding and easy identification are required
• Laboratory and test-bench setups requiring reliable OM2 patching

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM2
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector type: ST on both ends (duplex)
• Cable length: 15.0 m
• Jacket color: Orange
• Cable format: Duplex (two-fiber assembly)

How to use

Route the duplex patch cable between the two ST-compatible ports, ensuring minimal bending and avoiding sharp edges or tight cable ties. Align the bayonet pins of each ST connector with the equipment receptacle, insert the connector fully and twist the locking sleeve to secure the connection. When installing in patch panels, follow the color-coded scheme to maintain organization and label both ends if necessary. Verify link integrity using appropriate optical test equipment and allow for proper slack management to prevent strain on connectors.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a dry, dust-free environment. Maintain a minimum bend radius as specified by standard multimode fiber guidelines to avoid increased attenuation. Use protective dust caps on connectors when not in use and clean connector endfaces before mating to ensure optimal optical performance.
