Network Cable Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OM2 50/125 µm ST/ST orange 30.0 m

The Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OM2 50/125 µm ST/ST in orange is a 30.0 m multimode fiber optic cable designed for reliable optical connections in local and campus network environments. It uses OM2-grade 50/125 µm fibers and ST connectors on both ends to provide duplex transmission for data, voice and video links where moderate distances and bandwidth are required. The orange jacket improves visibility within cable bundles and patch panels and the pre-terminated ST/ST connectors ensure consistent mating with ST-compatible equipment.

Advantages

This duplex patch cable delivers low attenuation and consistent multimode performance across the OM2 bandwidth profile. The fixed-length, factory-terminated construction reduces on-site termination errors and shortens installation time. The ST/ST connector pair offers a push-and-twist bayonet coupling that provides secure physical contact and straightforward handling in patch panels and wall outlets. The brightly colored jacket helps with cable management and identification in dense installations.

Suitable for

• Multimode fiber backbone links in LAN and campus networks
• Connections between switches, patch panels and fiber keystones
• Short- to medium-distance data, voice and video transmission
• Laboratory and testing setups requiring repeatable fiber patching

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM2
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector type: ST to ST duplex
• Length: 30.0 m
• Jacket color: Orange
• Polish type: Factory-terminated, standard multimode endface

How to use

Route the Ekivalan OM2 duplex cable between the two fiber ports to be connected, avoiding sharp bends and tight cable ties that exceed the specified minimum bend radius for multimode fiber. Align and insert each ST connector into the corresponding ST receptacle, pushing and twisting the bayonet coupling until it locks. Verify link continuity and optical power levels with appropriate test equipment after installation. Secure the cable along its run to prevent strain on the connectors and minimize movement that could affect performance.

Usage recommendations

Handle the cable by the connector bodies when plugging and unplugging to avoid stressing the fiber. Maintain cleanliness of connector endfaces—use fiber-grade cleaning tools or wipes before mating. Store and install the cable in environments within standard indoor temperature and humidity ranges, and avoid exposure to direct sunlight or chemicals that may degrade the jacket over time.
