Καλώδιο οπτικών ινών ShiverPeaks S/CONN 5m LC/ST

The ShiverPeaks S/CONN 5m LC/ST fibre optic cable is a 5-metre duplex patchcord designed for multimode OM2 networks. Featuring a 50/125 µm core/cladding diameter, the cable supports full duplex communication and is intended for short- to medium-distance high-speed data transfer. Terminated with an LC connector at one end and an ST connector at the other, this patchcord provides a compact LC interface combined with the bayonet-style ST for legacy and modern equipment interconnection. The cable jacket is halogen-free, reducing toxic gas emission in case of fire and meeting common safety requirements for installation environments.

Advantages

The ShiverPeaks S/CONN 5m LC/ST cable delivers consistent multimode performance with a 50 µm core suited to OM2 links, ensuring low insertion loss and predictable signal behaviour across short to medium runs. The duplex configuration enables simultaneous transmit and receive channels for full duplex operation. The combination of LC and ST connectors offers compatibility with a wide range of switches, transceivers and fibre panels while saving rack space at the LC end. A halogen-free jacket improves safety in enclosed spaces and helps meet building and data-centre material standards.

Suitable for

• Data centre intra-rack or inter-rack connections where OM2 multimode is used
• Network equipment connections between devices with LC and ST ports
• Short- to medium-distance fibre runs in enterprise LANs
• Industrial and commercial installations requiring halogen-free cabling

Key specifications

How to use

Inspect connector end-faces before installation and clean them with appropriate fibre cleaning tools to prevent signal loss. Plug the LC connector into the LC receptacle until it clicks and insert the ST connector into the ST jack, ensuring the bayonet fitting is properly engaged. Route the cable following standard bend-radius guidelines for multimode fibre and secure it to avoid strain on the terminations. For duplex operation, match transmit and receive channels according to device labelling and maintain consistent polarity throughout the link.

Recommendations

Use this OM2 50/125 µm LC/ST duplex cable for short to medium multimode links at 1 Gbps and lower multimode applications; verify transceiver compatibility and distance budgets for higher speeds. Keep connector dust caps in place until final installation and avoid tight bends or crushing to preserve optical performance.
