Fiber patch cable MicroConnect MTRJ/UPC to ST/UPC, 3 m, OM1 multimode

MicroConnect MTRJ/UPC to ST/UPC fiber patch cable, 3 m, OM1 multimode provides a pre-terminated multimode link for short-range optical connections. The cable features an MTRJ connector with UPC polish on one end and an ST connector with UPC polish on the other, optimized for legacy multimode installations and equipment compatibility. Designed for use in data centers, LANs and campus networks, this OM1 multimode patch cord delivers consistent signal transmission for multimode transceivers and patch panels.

Advantages

This MicroConnect fiber patch cable combines compact MTRJ termination with the widely used bayonet-style ST interface to offer flexible connectivity between devices with different port types. The UPC polish minimizes back reflection and helps maintain stable optical performance. At 3 meters length, the cable is long enough for typical rack-to-rack or equipment-to-patch-panel connections while remaining manageable in cable trays and conduits. The OM1 multimode fiber is suited for short-distance multimode links and common indoor cabling environments.

Suitable for

• Short-range multimode data links within racks and between nearby rooms
• LAN backbone and horizontal patching for offices and campus networks
• Interconnection of multimode transceivers, patch panels and telecom devices
• Equipment migration when mixing MTRJ and ST connector types

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM1 multimode
• Connector A: MTRJ with UPC polish
• Connector B: ST with UPC polish
• Length: 3 meters
• Cable jacket: indoor-rated multimode patch cord

How to use

Identify the appropriate port types on your equipment or patch panels and insert the MTRJ end into the corresponding MTRJ receptacle and the ST end into the ST receptacle, ensuring the connectors are properly aligned and securely engaged. Avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius and keep connectors free of dust or debris; clean connectors with a suitable fiber cleaning tool if necessary. Route the cable along cable management paths, securing it with Velcro or cable ties in a way that does not compress the jacket.

Recommendations

Store and install the OM1 multimode patch cord in indoor environments away from excessive heat and moisture. For best performance, inspect and clean connector end-faces before connection and avoid repeated mating cycles beyond the connector's rated durability. Use this cable for short-distance multimode links; for higher bandwidth or longer distances consider using higher-grade multimode fiber types or singlemode alternatives where appropriate.
