Fibre optic cable Tecline 3 m OM1 62.5/125 µm, 2-core full duplex, ST to SC connectors, orange

Tecline 3 m fibre optic cable OM1 62.5/125 µm, 2-core full duplex, ST to SC connectors, orange is a short-range multimode patch cable designed for legacy multimode networks and compatible fibre applications. The cable uses OM1 multimode fibre with a 62.5/125 µm core/cladding diameter and a two‑core full duplex wiring that provides simultaneous transmit and receive paths. One end terminates in an ST connector and the other in an SC connector, enabling direct connection between devices or patch panels that require different multimode connector types. The orange jacket identifies the cable as multimode and aids visual organization in server rooms and network closets.

Advantages

The cable offers straightforward ST-to-SC connectivity without the need for adapters, supports full duplex data transmission on two separate fibre cores, and is suitable for short-range multimode links. Its OM1 62.5/125 µm fibre is compatible with established multimode equipment and patching infrastructure. The orange outer jacket facilitates quick identification of multimode links and helps maintain structured cabling. The 3 m length balances flexibility and minimal excess slack for patching between adjacent racks or equipment.

Suitable for

• Short-range multimode connections in data centres and telecom rooms
• Legacy multimode networks and equipment using OM1 fibre
• Interconnecting devices or patch panels where ST and SC connectors are used
• InfiniBand or fibre applications requiring multimode full duplex links

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM1 multimode, 62.5/125 µm core/cladding
• Configuration: 2-core, full duplex
• Connectors: ST connector on one end, SC connector on the other end
• Length: 3 metres
• Jacket colour: orange (multimode identification)
• Typical use: short-range multimode patching

How to use

Install the cable by inserting the ST connector into the corresponding bayonet-style ST port and the SC connector into the matching SC port until the SC snap locks. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to avoid signal loss; use a fibre cleaning tool or lint-free wipes if necessary. Route the cable with gentle bends and avoid tight loops or sharp bends that exceed the minimum bend radius for multimode fibre. For neat cabling, secure the cable along cable management paths without compressing the jacket or applying excessive tension. Verify link continuity and optical performance with appropriate test equipment after installation.

Usage recommendations

Keep the connectors covered with dust caps when not in use, clean connectors before connecting, and avoid bending the cable sharply. For longer distances or higher bandwidth requirements, consider higher-grade multimode or singlemode fibre appropriate for the application.
