Description

Fiber Cables Direct FCDUS51V8571 0.5M ST-ST Duplex OM3 Multimode Patch Cable

Overview

This 0.5-meter Fiber Cables Direct FCDUS51V8571 duplex patch cable provides a reliable link for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) networks. It utilizes OM3 multimode fiber, optimized for 850nm laser transmission, enabling data rates up to 10 Gbps over distances up to 300 meters. The ST connectors offer a secure, bayonet-style connection suitable for high-vibration environments or applications requiring frequent connection/disconnection. This cable is designed for short-run interconnects within network closets or between equipment racks.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network equipment featuring standard ST duplex multimode fiber ports. This includes a wide range of network switches, media converters, fiber optic transceivers (SFPs, XFPs), and network interface cards (NICs) from various manufacturers that support OM3 fiber specifications. It is suitable for use in enterprise data centers, telecommunications facilities, and campus networks where high-speed fiber connectivity is required.

Installation Notes

When installing, ensure the ST connector ferrules are clean before insertion to prevent signal degradation and potential damage. Avoid sharp bends exceeding the minimum bend radius (typically 30mm for OM3 fiber) to maintain signal integrity. The short 0.5-meter length is ideal for direct equipment-to-equipment connections within a single rack or patch panel, minimizing cable clutter and signal loss.
