Fibre Optic Cable ShiverPeaks BS77905/4 10m ST Violet

The ShiverPeaks BS77905/4 10m ST Violet is an OM4 multimode fibre optic cable with ST connectors on both ends and a 50 µm core diameter. Designed for full duplex communication, this 10-metre link supports high-speed data transfer for short to medium distance network connections. The violet jacket provides easy identification in cable bundles while the OM4 multimode specification enables higher bandwidth compared with standard multimode grades for demanding networking environments.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable offers stable full duplex transmission with low modal dispersion characteristic of OM4 multimode fibre. The 50 µm core ensures compatibility with common multimode transceivers and allows efficient coupling for gigabit and 10-gigabit applications. ST connectors provide reliable mechanical engagement with equipment using bayonet-style connections, and the 10 m length covers typical rack-to-rack or room-to-room runs while keeping signal loss within expected multimode limits.

Suitable for

• Data centre patching and horizontal cabling between racks
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch short-range links
• High-speed LAN segments and campus networks
• Environments requiring easy cable identification and management

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM4 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: ST to ST (bayonet)
• Length: 10 m
• Mode: Full duplex
• Jacket colour: Violet

How to use

Inspect connectors and cable jacket for damage before installation. Align each ST connector with the corresponding ST receptacle and push in while rotating the bayonet sleeve to lock. Use standard multimode transceivers compatible with 50 µm core fibre and ensure transceiver settings match full duplex operation. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, excessive tension or crush points; maintain minimum bend radius recommended for multimode fibre to preserve performance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep connector endfaces clean using appropriate fibre cleaning tools before mating, and avoid exceeding the cable's minimum bend radius. Use the violet jacket to label and segregate OM4 multimode runs in larger installations, and verify link performance with an optical power meter or certified testing equipment after installation.
