Fiber Cables Direct FCDUS56V222 OM1 SC ST Duplex Fiber Patch Cable

Overview

The Fiber Cables Direct FCDUS56V222 is a 62.5/125 micron, OM1 multimode duplex fiber optic patch cable. It terminates with an SC connector on one end and an ST connector on the other, providing a versatile link for connecting network devices. This cable is designed for applications requiring reliable data transmission over short to medium distances, commonly found in enterprise network closets or between network equipment racks.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network equipment featuring SC and ST fiber optic ports. It is suitable for use with multimode fiber transceivers (e.g., SFP, SFP+) operating at 1 Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-SX) and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-SR) speeds over OM1 fiber. It can be integrated into various network infrastructure, including switches, routers, media converters, and network interface cards that utilize these connector types. Ensure your active equipment supports OM1 fiber specifications for optimal performance.

Installation Notes

When installing, avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable, as this can degrade signal performance. The minimum bend radius for OM1 fiber is typically 1 inch (25mm). Ensure connectors are clean before insertion to prevent signal loss and potential damage to ports. The duplex configuration means two fibers are used for simultaneous transmit and receive, requiring matching duplex ports on both connected devices.
