Fibre optic cable Lightwin LDP-50 ST-ST 3.0 OM2 3 m Orange

The Lightwin LDP-50 ST-ST 3.0 OM2 3 m Orange fibre optic cable is a 3‑metre duplex patch lead with ST connectors on both ends and a 50 µm multimode core. It is built for reliable short- to medium‑range optical links where consistent bandwidth and low attenuation are required. The orange jacket identifies OM2 multimode fibre and helps with cable management in patch panels and equipment racks.

Advantages

This OM2 multimode cable provides stable full‑duplex performance with low insertion loss and consistent modal bandwidth across the 3 m length. ST connectors offer quick bayonet-style mating for easy field installation and good mechanical retention. The 50 µm core supports common multimode transceivers and network equipment, while the colour-coded jacket simplifies identification in mixed-fibre installations.

Suitable for

• Short- to medium-distance data links in enterprise and campus networks
• Patch panels, fibre distribution frames and network lab environments
• Connecting multimode transceivers, switches and media converters with ST interfaces
• Testing, training and temporary fibre installations

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Multimode OM2 (50 µm core)
• Connector type: ST on both ends (duplex)
• Length: 3.0 metres
• Jacket colour: Orange (OM2 identification)
• Mode: Full duplex duplex multimode operation
• Typical use: Short‑to‑medium range optical links and patching

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each ST connector into the corresponding ST receptacle until the bayonet lock engages. Ensure connectors and transceiver ports are clean before mating to minimise insertion loss. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode fibre. For neat installation in racks and panels, use labelled tie points and avoid running the cable alongside high‑power electrical lines.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate dust caps when the cable is not connected, and perform visual and, if possible, optical testing after installation to verify link attenuation and continuity. For higher bandwidth or longer runs, consider singlemode or higher‑graded multimode fibres.
