GoodConnections ST Multimode OM2 Duplex Fiber Patch Cable, 5m, LSZH, Orange

Fiber optic patch cable with ST connectors, engineered for reliable multimode OM2 performance in data centers and enterprise networks. The duplex LSZH jacket in high-visibility orange ensures safe, low-smoke operation while the 5-meter length provides flexible reach between patch panels and active equipment.

Advantages

Precision-polished ST ferrules deliver insertion loss of ≤0.3 dB, maximizing signal integrity. OM2 multimode fiber supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 82 meters, making it ideal for backbone and horizontal cabling. LSZH jacket emits minimal smoke and no halogen gases, meeting strict fire safety codes. Orange color allows instant identification of multimode links, reducing installation errors.

Suitable for

• Data center interconnects between switches, servers, and storage

Recommendations

For optimal performance, pair with GoodConnections ST adapters and patch panels. Inspect and clean connector end faces before each mating. Avoid bending beyond the minimum bend radius (typically 30 mm for this cable) to prevent signal loss. Store in a cool, dry environment when not in use.
