InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable SC to ST 50 to 125 micrometer OM3 2 meter

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable SC to ST 50 to 125 micrometer OM3 2 meter is a reliable solution designed for high-speed data transmission in professional networking environments. This multimode fiber optic cable features a 50/125 micrometer core and cladding diameter, combined with an OM3 fiber classification to ensure efficient bandwidth performance over short to medium distances. Equipped with two SC connectors on one end and two ST connectors on the other, it facilitates seamless connection between various network hardware components. The cable supports full duplex communication, enabling simultaneous bidirectional data transfer. Built with a halogen-free low smoke zero halogen jacket, it minimizes toxic emissions in the event of a fire, making it suitable for installations where safety is a priority.

Advantages

This InLine fiber optic cable provides several technical benefits for modern network setups. The OM3 multimode fiber construction allows for high data transfer rates, supporting demanding applications such as enterprise networking and telecommunications infrastructure. The inclusion of two SC plugs and two ST plugs offers direct compatibility with legacy and current networking hardware without requiring extra adapters. The low smoke zero halogen jacket ensures compliance with strict safety standards in enclosed office buildings and server rooms. Additionally, each cable comes with an individual test report, verifying its quality and operational readiness right out of the package.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers, and patch panels in local area networks
• Telecommunications infrastructure and data center environments
• Linking fiber optic equipment with SC and ST ports
• Professional networking setups requiring high-speed multimode data transmission

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not designed for long-distance outdoor telecommunications, as it lacks outdoor weatherproofing and armoring. It is also unsuitable for equipment that requires single-mode fiber infrastructure or utilizes different connector types, such as LC or FC, without appropriate conversion adapters.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 2 meters
• Fiber type: Multimode OM3
• Core and cladding diameter: 50/125 micrometers
• Connector 1: 2x SC plug
• Connector 2: 2x ST plug
• Communication mode: Full duplex
• Jacket material: Low smoke zero halogen (LSZH)
• Cable color: Turquoise / Aqua

How to use

Before installation, inspect the connectors for any dust or debris and clean them using appropriate optical cleaning tools if necessary. Carefully align the SC connectors with the corresponding ports on the first network device and push them in until they click securely into place. Repeat the process for the ST connectors on the second device by inserting and twisting the bayonet style locking mechanism to secure the connection. Ensure the cable is not bent beyond its minimum bend radius and avoid placing heavy objects on the line to maintain optimal optical signal transmission.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network hardware uses SC and ST interface ports
• Check the required cable length to ensure the 2-meter span is sufficient for your setup
• Confirm whether your network infrastructure requires multimode OM3 fiber specifications

Usage recommendations

Always maintain proper cable management practices by avoiding sharp bends, excessive tension, and pinching during installation. Keep protective dust caps on the connectors until the moment of installation to prevent contamination of the optical fiber end-faces.
