Lindy OM2 Fibre Optic Cable LC to ST 1m Multimode Duplex 50/125µm

The Lindy OM2 Fibre Optic Cable LC to ST 1m Multimode Duplex 50/125µm is a reliable 1-meter optical patch cable designed for efficient and stable data transmission in modern networking environments. Featuring precision-engineered LC male and ST male connectors on either end, this multimode cable utilises a 50/125 µm core and cladding diameter to support high-speed communication over short to medium distances. Built with a durable orange Zip Twin jacket, it incorporates halogen-free LS0H materials to enhance safety in enclosed spaces by reducing toxic smoke emissions in the event of fire. Each cable is individually tested and supplied with a measurement protocol confirming low insertion loss, ensuring dependable performance for professional and enterprise setups.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable offers complete immunity to electrical and electromagnetic interference, allowing installation alongside high-voltage power lines or heavy machinery without signal degradation. The inclusion of high-quality LC and ST connectors ensures secure and reliable mating with compatible network equipment, switches, and patch panels. Because it supports full duplex operation, simultaneous two-way data transmission is easily achieved. Furthermore, the halogen-free outer sheath provides an added layer of safety for indoor installations while maintaining flexibility and ease of cable management.

Suitable for

• Connecting network switches and patch panels in enterprise data centers
• Telecommunications installations requiring stable optical links
• Local area networks utilizing OM2 multimode infrastructure
• Educational and corporate IT environments

This cable may not be suitable for long-distance telecommunications spanning intercity or continental networks, as OM2 multimode fibre is specifically engineered for shorter reaches. It is also incompatible with single-mode optical equipment, meaning it cannot be paired with single-mode transceivers or long-range patch setups.

How to use

Before installation, inspect the optical connectors for any dust or debris and use appropriate cleaning tools if necessary. Gently remove the protective dust caps from both the LC and ST ends of the cable. Align the LC connector with the corresponding port on your network device and push it carefully until it clicks securely into place. Similarly, align the ST connector with the designated bayonet-style port, push in, and twist to lock it firmly. Route the 1-meter cable neatly through cable trays or management rings, avoiding sharp bends that exceed the minimum bend radius of the fibre to ensure uninterrupted signal transmission.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network hardware uses matching LC and ST interface ports
• Confirm that your existing infrastructure relies on OM2 50/125 µm multimode fibre specifications
• Check the required cable length to ensure 1 meter is sufficient for your connection layout

Always maintain the manufacturer's recommended bend radius during installation and avoid applying excessive pulling tension to prevent damage to the internal optical fibres.
