Fibre Optic Cable ShiverPeaks BS77905 5m ST Orange

The ShiverPeaks BS77905 5m ST orange fibre optic cable is a multimode OM2 cable with a 50 µm core designed for full duplex data transmission. It features ST connectors on both ends and is intended for short- to medium-range links where stable, low-loss optical connections are required. The cable jacket is orange to indicate multimode use and to facilitate identification in structured cabling environments.

Advantages

This OM2 fibre offers consistent signal quality and low attenuation for multimode networks. ST connectors provide reliable mechanical coupling and straightforward field termination. The 5 m length reduces the need for additional patching while allowing flexible routing in racks and cabinets. The bright orange jacket improves visibility and helps separate multimode links from single-mode or copper cabling.

Suitable for

• Patch panels and fibre patch cords in data centers
• Interconnects between network equipment such as switches and routers
• Short to medium distance multimode optical links within buildings
• Laboratory and test bench fiber setups requiring standard connectors

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Multimode (OM2)
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: ST to ST
• Length: 5 m
• Transmission: Full duplex
• Jacket colour: Orange (multimode identification)

How to use

Before installation, inspect connector endfaces and clean them with appropriate fibre cleaning tools to prevent signal loss. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and excessive tension; adhere to the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode fibre. Insert the ST connectors into compatible ports on networking devices or patch panels until the bayonet coupling seats. For full duplex operation, ensure the transmit and receive channels are connected correctly at both ends.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a dry environment and avoid kinking. Use dust caps when connectors are not in use. For permanent installations, secure the cable with suitable fibre management accessories to maintain bend radius and reduce mechanical stress.
