Fibre Optic Cable ShiverPeaks BS77902 2m ST Orange

The ShiverPeaks BS77902 2m ST Orange is an OM2 multimode fibre optic patch cable with ST connectors on both ends and a 50 µm core diameter. Designed for full duplex data transmission, this 2-metre cable supports short- to medium-range high-speed links in structured networks and data centre patching panels. The orange jacket and ST bayonet-style connectors make insertion and identification straightforward while helping maintain consistent signal quality across multimode links.

Advantages

This OM2 fibre cable provides predictable multimode performance for multimode transceivers and networking equipment. The 50 µm core supports common short-range multimode applications while the ST connectors allow quick, tool-free bayonet coupling and reliable mechanical retention. The 2 metre length reduces excess slack in patching environments and the durable outer jacket protects the fibre from routine handling and bending stresses.

Suitable for

• Patch panels and horizontal cabling in data centres and server rooms
• Multimode links between network switches and transceivers
• Laboratory and test-bench connections for multimode equipment
• Short- to medium-distance internal fibre runs within buildings

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM2 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: ST to ST (bayonet)
• Length: 2 metres
• Mode: full duplex
• Jacket colour: orange

How to use

Inspect connectors and ports for dust or debris before connecting; use appropriate fibre cleaning tools if necessary. Align the ST connector with the device port, insert the connector and rotate the bayonet sleeve until it locks. For full duplex operation, connect both ends to the corresponding transmit and receive ports on each device. Avoid tight bends and kinks along the cable run and secure excess length with gentle loops to prevent microbending losses.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment to maintain connector cleanliness. Use dust caps when connectors are not in use and route the cable away from high-traffic areas and sharp edges. For reliable multimode performance, match the fibre type and connector standard to the equipment transceivers and observe bend-radius guidelines specified by the equipment manufacturer.
