Fiber Optic Patch Cable Equip LC/ST 5.0m OS2

The Equip LC/ST Fiber Optic Patch Cable is a 5.0 m OS2 single-mode cable designed for high-speed data transmission and reliable network connections. Constructed from quality materials, it provides stable optical performance with reduced return loss and low insertion loss. The cable features an LC connector on one end and an ST connector on the other to support full‑duplex communication and easy integration into mixed connector environments.

Advantages

This fiber optic patch cable offers low attenuation and consistent end-face geometry for improved link quality. With OS2 single-mode fiber and a 9 µm core diameter, it is suitable for long-distance and high-bandwidth links while keeping insertion loss and back reflection to a minimum. The LC/ST connector combination simplifies connection between equipment with different connector types.

Suitable for

• Data center patch panels and backbone links
• Telecommunications and ISP installations
• Campus and enterprise network interconnects
• Fiber-to-the-Office (FTTO) and fiber backbone routing

How to use

Route the cable between devices ensuring no sharp bends or kinks; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for single-mode fiber. Clean connector end faces before mating to avoid contamination-related loss. Insert the LC and ST connectors into the corresponding ports until they latch or seat securely, and verify the link using suitable test equipment or network diagnostics.

Usage recommendations

Handle the patch cable by the connector boots to avoid stressing the fiber. For best performance, store and install the cable in accordance with standard fiber handling practices and perform optical insertion loss testing after installation.
