Featuring ST/UPC connectors on both ends, this duplex patch cable is designed for stability in networks utilizing this common legacy interface. The bayonet-style connection offers a secure, twist-lock mating mechanism, helping to prevent accidental disconnections in data centers and telecom environments.
Built with OS2 single-mode fiber, this patch cable supports signal transmission over longer distances compared to multimode options. It's suitable for applications like campus backbones, CATV, and metropolitan area networks where low attenuation over kilometers is often required.
The cable is sheathed in Low Smoke Zero Halogen material, which may reduce dense smoke and corrosive gas emissions if exposed to flame. This feature is frequently specified for indoor installations, ventilation spaces, and public buildings to support overall fire safety strategies.
Its duplex zip-cord construction accommodates separate transmit and receive fibers in a single assembly. This design helps maintain proper fiber polarity and supports tidy cable management in patch panels, contributing to an organized network infrastructure.
This pre-terminated patch cable serves as a ready-to-use solution for refreshing or expanding existing ST-based networks. It can facilitate quick replacements of worn cables or new connections between compatible equipment without requiring field termination.
