Description

Black Box FOPT50S1-ST-12YL-3 Fiber Optic Patch Cable

Overview

The Black Box FOPT50S1-ST-12YL-3 is a yellow, outdoor-rated fiber optic patch cable designed to extend network connectivity for surveillance systems where copper cabling is insufficient. This cable provides a robust solution for bridging distances between network devices, such as cameras and network switches, in environments requiring reliable data transmission over longer runs. Its construction is intended for direct burial or conduit installation, ensuring signal integrity in demanding outdoor conditions. The FOPT50S1-ST-12YL-3 model specifically utilizes ST connectors on one end, designed for secure termination in various network equipment.

Compatibility

This fiber optic patch cable is compatible with any network equipment featuring an ST fiber optic port. It is suitable for use with Black Box fiber optic media converters, network switches, and IP cameras that support ST fiber connections. The cable's construction makes it appropriate for extending the reach of surveillance networks that require high bandwidth and immunity to electromagnetic interference, commonly found in industrial or campus environments.

Installation Notes

The cable is rated for outdoor use and direct burial, meaning it can be installed without conduit in many scenarios, simplifying deployment. However, care must be taken to avoid sharp bends that exceed the minimum bend radius, which could degrade signal performance. The ST connectors require a standard push-pull mating action for secure connection. Ensure the termination environment is clean to prevent contamination of the fiber end-faces.
