Fibre optic cable Tecline 1m 9/125 µm 2 x ST/LC

The Tecline 1m 9/125 µm fibre optic cable is a single-mode OS2 patch cable designed for full duplex data transmission. Featuring a 9 µm core diameter and a 1 metre length, it connects devices using an ST connector on one end and an LC connector on the other. The cable is intended for high-speed links where low attenuation and stable signal integrity are required, and its compact length is suitable for short interconnections in racks, network equipment or InfiniBand environments.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable delivers low-loss single-mode transmission with predictable optical performance across long distances typical for OS2 fibres. The mixed connector configuration (ST to LC) allows compatibility with equipment that uses different connector types without adapters. The 1 m length reduces excess cable in confined spaces, improving airflow and cable management while preserving full duplex operation for simultaneous bidirectional data flows.

Suitable for

• Short links between network switches, routers and transceivers
• InfiniBand or SAN connections requiring single-mode fibre
• Patch panels and rack-mounted equipment with ST and LC ports
• Laboratory or test bench setups where a 1 m jumper is convenient

Key specifications

• Fibre type: single-mode OS2
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Mode field: compatible with standard single-mode transceivers
• Connector types: ST on one end, LC on the other
• Configuration: duplex (two fibres for full duplex communication)
• Cable length: 1 metre
• Typical use: low-attenuation, long-distance single-mode links

How to use

Insert the ST connector into the matching ST socket by aligning the keyed ferrule and turning the connector bayonet until it locks; insert the LC connector into the LC port by aligning the latch and pushing until it clicks. Ensure both ends are clean before connection to avoid contamination and signal loss. Use the cable for full duplex transmission by connecting each fibre to its respective transmit and receive ports on the devices. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius to preserve optical performance.

Usage recommendations

Before deployment, inspect and, if necessary, clean connector endfaces with appropriate fibre cleaning tools. Avoid bending the cable sharply and secure it with gentle cable management to prevent microbends. Store unused cables coiled with a radius that exceeds the minimum bend specification. For critical links, verify signal levels and connector continuity after installation.
