Fibre Optic Cable Lightwin LDP-09 ST-ST 2.0 2m

The Lightwin LDP-09 ST-ST 2.0 2m is a single-mode OS2 fibre optic patch cable with dual ST connectors and a 9 µm core diameter. Designed for short to moderate link distances, this 2-meter cable delivers low attenuation and consistent optical performance suitable for network backbones and high-speed interconnects. The cable's yellow outer jacket improves visibility and provides mechanical protection for stable signal transmission in rack, lab or data centre environments.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable offers low insertion loss and high return loss consistent with OS2 single-mode performance, supporting stable high-speed data transfer. The ST-ST connector pair enables quick push‑and‑twist connections with legacy ST ports and compatible equipment. The compact 2 m length reduces excess cable clutter and helps maintain clean cable management, while the durable jacket resists abrasion and bending appropriate for typical installation scenarios.

Suitable for

• Data centre patching and server-to-switch connections
• Laboratory and test bench interconnections
• InfiniBand high-speed links and low-latency systems
• Telecommunications equipment with ST ports
• Short-distance backbone links in structured cabling

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Single-mode OS2
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Connector type: ST to ST (male) on both ends
• Length: 2 meters
• Jacket colour: Yellow
• Typical use: Optical patching and interconnects for high-speed networks

How to use

Route the 2 m fibre cable between devices ensuring gentle bends and avoiding sharp kinks; maintain the minimum bend radius specified for single-mode fibre to prevent increased attenuation. Clean the ST connector endfaces before insertion using appropriate fibre cleaning tools to ensure optimal signal performance. Insert each ST connector into the corresponding port and secure with the twist coupling until it seats; verify link status on connected equipment and perform optical power checks where required.

Usage recommendations

Store the cable in a coiled form without tight loops, protect connector endfaces with dust caps when not in use, and avoid exposing the cable to excessive tension or compression. For installations requiring modal compatibility or longer-distance transmission, verify that single-mode OS2 is suitable for the host equipment and link budget.
