Microconnect FIB1120005-2 InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 0.5 m ST Orange

The Microconnect FIB1120005-2 is a 0.5 m fibre optic cable with ST connectors on both ends and OM2 multimode fibre (50/125 µm). It is designed for full duplex data transmission and comes in orange for easy identification in patch panels and cable runs. The cable is manufactured with LSZH jacket material and is optically tested for insertion loss to meet common industry standards.

Advantages

This OM2 ST–ST patch cord offers reliable multimode performance with controlled insertion loss and a compact 0.5 m length suitable for short interconnects. The LSZH outer jacket reduces smoke and toxic gas emission in case of fire, and the orange colour simplifies cable management. Manufactured to conform with IEC, EIA/TIA or Telcordia guidelines, the cable is cost-effective for standard network cabling needs.

Suitable for

• Data centre patching and short interconnects
• Enterprise network racks and telecom rooms
• Server farms and cloud storage backplanes
• Fiber patch panels and equipment patching

How to use

Connect each ST connector to the corresponding ST port on your transceivers, patch panels or equipment. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to maintain low insertion loss; use dust caps when the cable is not in use. Route the 0.5 m cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress that can affect multimode fibre performance.

Recommendations

Use this OM2 ST patch cord for short-distance multimode links within racks or between adjacent equipment. For longer runs or higher bandwidth requirements, consider higher-grade fibre types such as OM3/OM4 or singlemode options.
