InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable SC/ST 50/125µm OM2 2m

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable SC/ST 50/125µm OM2 2m is a multimode fiber patch cable designed for reliable high-speed data transmission between networking devices. With SC connector on one end and ST connector on the other, this duplex cable supports full-duplex communication over a 50/125 µm core and conforms to OM2 multimode characteristics. The 2 meter length provides manageable reach for patching in racks, telecom rooms or office environments while maintaining consistent signal integrity for short to medium distance links.

Advantages

This fiber cable delivers stable multimode performance with low attenuation across short-range enterprise links. The combination of SC and ST connectors allows compatibility with a wide range of switches, media converters and optical transceivers that use these termination types. Full-duplex construction separates transmit and receive paths, reducing crosstalk and supporting bidirectional data flows. The 50/125 µm OM2 specification offers an effective balance between bandwidth and cost for common LAN and data center applications.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches and fiber panels in server rooms
• Connecting media converters and transceivers with SC or ST ports
• Short- to medium-distance multimode links within buildings or campus networks
• Optical test setups and temporary network installations

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM2
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector types: SC to ST (duplex)
• Length: 2 meters
• Transmission mode: Full duplex
• Typical application range: Short to medium distance LAN links

How to use

Identify the appropriate SC and ST ports on the devices to be connected and ensure both ends are free of dust or debris before insertion. Insert the SC connector into the SC adapter or port until it clicks, and insert the ST connector with its bayonet-style coupling, twisting to lock it in place. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and high-tension stress; maintain the recommended minimum bend radius for multimode fiber. Verify link status on connected equipment and, if necessary, perform optical power or continuity testing to confirm signal integrity.

Recommendations

Handle the fiber cable by the connector housing rather than pulling on the fiber jacket. Use protective dust caps when connectors are not in use, avoid exceeding the cable's minimum bend radius, and store the cable coiled without tight loops to preserve performance. For critical links, validate connection quality with appropriate fiber test equipment after installation.
