InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable ST/ST 50/125µm OM4 15m

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable ST/ST 50/125µm OM4 15m is a high-performance multimode duplex patch cord engineered for rapid and reliable data transmission across modern network infrastructures. Measuring 15 meters in length, this optical cable features dual ST connectors on both ends, making it a dependable choice for connecting compatible networking hardware in professional environments. Built to exacting standards, it incorporates a 50/125µm OM4 fiber optic core encased in a halogen-free Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacket, ensuring safety and compliance in sensitive installation areas. Each cable is supplied in a distinctive purple jacket color for easy identification within complex wiring setups.

Advantages

This fiber optic cable offers exceptional signal integrity and high bandwidth capacity, rendering it suitable for demanding communication networks that require minimal signal attenuation over distance. The integration of durable ST plugs guarantees a secure mechanical connection, while the duplex design facilitates simultaneous two-way data transfer. Furthermore, the halogen-free LSZH sheath minimizes toxic emissions in the event of fire, making it safer for indoor use in enterprise spaces and data centers. The inclusion of a factory test report with every cable provides verified quality assurance before deployment.

Suitable for

• Data centers and server rooms requiring high-speed multimode connectivity
• Enterprise fiber optic infrastructures and local area networks
• Connecting network equipment with ST interfaces over a 15-meter distance
• Professional installations where halogen-free LSZH cables are mandated

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not compatible with network hardware that utilizes non-ST interfaces such as LC or SC connectors without appropriate adapters or media converters. Additionally, the 15-meter length may be excessive or insufficient for point-to-point connections that require very short patch leads or extremely long-distance inter-building links.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 15 m
• Fibre optic type: OM4 multi-mode 50/125µm
• Connector type: 2x ST male to 2x ST male
• Jacket material: Low smoke zero halogen (LSZH)
• Cable diameter: 3.0 mm per strand
• Full duplex support
• Fiber color: Purple

How to use

Before installation, inspect the ST connectors for any dust or debris, and clean them using appropriate optical cleaning tools if necessary. Align the bayonet-style ST plug with the corresponding port on your networking device, push inward, and twist to lock the connector securely in place. Route the 15-meter cable carefully along designated cable trays or raceways, ensuring that the minimum bend radius is respected to prevent damage to the internal glass fibers. Avoid pinching, sharp bends, or excessive pulling tension during the setup process to maintain optimal optical performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network devices are equipped with ST ports on both ends of the connection
• Measure the required physical distance to ensure the 15-meter length is appropriate for your routing path
• Confirm whether your facility building codes require LSZH halogen-free cable specifications

Usage recommendations

Always handle fiber optic connectors with clean hands and use protective dust caps when the cable is not actively connected. Do not exceed the recommended bending radius during installation to preserve the integrity of the OM4 glass core.
