Black Box FO50-003M-STLC OM2 Fiber Optic Cable
Overview
The Black Box FO50-003M-STLC is a duplex, general-purpose OM2 fiber optic patch cable designed for reliable data transmission in network backbones. This cable features ST connectors on one end and LC connectors on the other, facilitating connections between network devices with different port types. Its OM2 rating supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 550 meters, making it suitable for connecting network switches, servers, and other infrastructure components where moderate distances and higher bandwidth are required. The black jacket color aids in cable management and identification within a rack or cabinet.
Compatibility
This ST to LC duplex fiber optic cable is compatible with any network equipment featuring ST (SC-Duplex) and LC fiber optic ports. This includes a wide range of network switches, media converters, fiber optic transceivers (SFPs, GBICs), and network interface cards from various manufacturers. Its OM2 specification ensures compatibility with Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications within its specified distance limits.
Installation Notes
When installing, ensure the connectors are clean before insertion to prevent signal degradation. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the minimum bend radius (typically 1 inch or 2.5 cm for OM2 fiber) to maintain signal integrity and prevent fiber damage. The cable's duplex nature means it carries both transmit and receive signals, requiring two separate fibers within the jacket.
