Fibre Optic Cable ShiverPeaks BS77942 2m

The ShiverPeaks BS77942 2m fibre optic cable is a duplex multimode connection designed for short- to medium-range networking links. It features an LC connector on one end and an ST connector on the other, and uses OM2 grade multimode fibre with a 50 µm core diameter. The cable supports full duplex data transfer and is suited for applications that require stable, low-loss optical links between network devices.

Advantages

This 2 m OM2 multimode fibre cable provides predictable optical performance with a 50 µm core for standard multimode transceivers. The combination of LC and ST connectors enables compatibility with a wide range of network equipment and patch panels. Full duplex capability allows simultaneous bidirectional communication, and the fixed length simplifies installation planning for short cable runs.

Suitable for

• Connecting multimode transceivers between network switches and media converters
• Linking patch panels to active equipment in server rooms and wiring closets
• Short-range backbone or lateral connections in enterprise and campus networks
• Testing and lab setups requiring standard OM2 multimode links

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM2 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Length: 2 m
• Connector A: LC (singleway of the duplex pair)
• Connector B: ST (singleway of the duplex pair)
• Mode: Full duplex
• Cable jacket: standard multimode patch cable construction (PVC/LSZH variants depend on model)

How to use

Ensure both network devices are powered down or set to the appropriate hot-plug state before connecting. Align the LC and ST connectors with their respective ports and insert until secure; LC connectors will latch while ST connectors use a bayonet twist. Use the 2 m length to route the cable without excessive bending; maintain bend radii recommended for multimode fibre to avoid attenuation. After installation, verify link status and optical power levels with appropriate monitoring tools or transceiver diagnostics.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the fibre cable by the connector bodies rather than pulling on the cable jacket. Avoid tight bends and kinks, keep connectors capped when not in use, and periodically inspect connector endfaces for contamination, cleaning with approved fibre cleaning tools as needed.
