ENET Solutions STLC-20M-ENC 20M Fiber Patch Cable

Overview

The ENET Solutions STLC-20M-ENC is a 20-meter duplex multimode fiber optic patch cable designed for reliable data transmission in surveillance and network infrastructure. It features ST connectors on one end and LC connectors on the other, facilitating connections between various network devices like media converters, switches, and cameras. This OM1 or better rated cable ensures sufficient bandwidth for typical surveillance video streams over its 20-meter length, providing a stable link where copper cabling is insufficient or impractical.

Compatibility

This cable is designed for use with network equipment featuring ST and LC fiber optic ports. It is compatible with most commercial-grade network switches, media converters, and IP cameras that utilize these connector types for their fiber uplinks or direct connections. Specifically, it supports connections between devices requiring ST duplex connectors and those with LC duplex connectors, common in many enterprise and security deployments.

Installation Notes

When installing the STLC-20M-ENC, ensure connectors are clean before mating to prevent signal degradation. Avoid sharp bends exceeding the minimum bend radius (typically 1-inch for OM1) to prevent fiber damage and signal loss. The duplex configuration means two fibers are used for transmit and receive, so ensure both connectors are properly seated in their respective ports on both devices. The 20-meter length offers flexibility for routing within racks or across moderate distances between equipment cabinets.
