ENET Solutions STLC-SM-5M-ENC Single-Mode Fiber Patch Cable

Overview

The ENET Solutions STLC-SM-5M-ENC is a 5-meter, duplex, single-mode OS2 fiber patch cable designed for reliable data transmission in demanding network environments. It features an ST connector on one end and an LC connector on the other, facilitating connections between various network devices. This cable is crucial for extending network reach and maintaining signal integrity in surveillance systems where bandwidth and distance are critical factors. The yellow jacket clearly identifies it as single-mode OS2 fiber.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network equipment featuring ST and LC duplex fiber optic ports. This includes a wide range of network switches, media converters, IP cameras with SFP modules, and network video recorders (NVRs) that utilize these connector types for fiber optic uplinks or backbone connections. Ensure your devices have the correct port types (ST and LC duplex) for this cable to function.

Installation Notes

When installing, avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable, as this can degrade signal performance. The minimum bend radius for OS2 single-mode fiber is typically 5 cm (2 inches) when unjacketed and 10 cm (4 inches) when jacketed. Ensure connectors are clean before insertion to prevent signal loss and damage. The ST connector uses a bayonet-style locking mechanism, while the LC connector uses a standard push-pull latch.
