Black Box FOSM-002M-STSC OS2 Singlemode Fiber Optic Patch Cable - ST to SC, 2M
Overview
The Black Box FOSM-002M-STSC is a 2-meter OS2 singlemode fiber optic patch cable designed for reliable data transmission in network infrastructure. It features an OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive, Riser) rated PVC jacket, suitable for vertical runs within building risers. This cable terminates with an ST connector on one end and an SC connector on the other, providing a specific interconnect solution for network devices. The yellow jacket clearly identifies it as singlemode fiber, crucial for avoiding misconfigurations in mixed fiber environments. This cable is essential for extending network reach or connecting equipment in data centers, telecommunications facilities, or enterprise networks where high bandwidth and low signal loss are paramount.
Compatibility
This FOSM-002M-STSC cable is compatible with any network equipment featuring ST and SC fiber optic ports. This includes a wide range of network switches, routers, media converters, fiber optic transceivers (SFPs, GBICs), and network interface cards (NICs) from various manufacturers that utilize these common connector types. Ensure your equipment has both ST and SC ports to utilize this specific cable configuration.
Installation Notes
When installing, maintain a minimum bend radius of 5 cm (2 inches) for the OS2 singlemode fiber to prevent signal degradation or damage. Avoid sharp bends or kinks. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to prevent signal loss and potential damage to the fiber end-face. The OFNR rating indicates suitability for riser installations but is not plenum-rated for air-handling spaces.
