Fibre optic cable ShiverPeaks BS77912/3 2m SC ST Aqua

The ShiverPeaks BS77912/3 2m OM3 fibre optic cable with SC to ST connectors is designed for short- to medium-range multimode optical links. With a 50 µm core diameter and full-duplex support, this aqua-coloured cable is intended for high-speed data transmission in structured networks and data centre patching. The OM3 multimode specification permits use with laser-optimized transceivers and supports common multimode applications where low attenuation and consistent modal performance are required.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable provides stable optical performance and low insertion loss thanks to OM3 multimode construction and standard SC and ST terminations. The full-duplex configuration enables simultaneous transmit and receive channels over paired fibres. Its 2-metre length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack or equipment-to-patch-panel connections while the aqua jacket allows quick visual identification of OM3 multimode links in cable management systems.

Suitable for

• Patch panels and switch-to-transceiver connections in data centres
• Server rack interconnects and equipment cabling
• Local area network (LAN) backbone segments using multimode optics
• Testing and lab environments requiring short multimode links

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM3 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Length: 2 m
• Connector A: SC
• Connector B: ST
• Configuration: Full duplex (paired fibres)
• Jacket colour: Aqua

How to use

Connect the SC connector to the corresponding SC port on your transceiver or patch panel and the ST connector to the ST-compatible device or adapter. Ensure connectors are clean and free of dust before insertion to avoid signal loss. Route the cable within cable management trays or through cable ties without bending beyond the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode fibre. Verify link integrity and optical power levels after installation using appropriate test equipment.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, use this OM3 cable with compatible multimode transceivers and maintain clean connector endfaces. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force during installation; store spare lengths coiled with a large radius to prevent microbends. Label both ends for easy identification in patching systems.
