5m OM1 ST Duplex Patch Cable

This five-metre OM1 multimode duplex patch cable uses 62.5/125µm Corning fiber with ST/UPC connectors and an orange OFNR jacket. It is built for installers and network engineers who need reliable short-reach links inside data centres, SAN fabrics or enterprise backbones. The duplex construction keeps transmit and receive strands paired for correct polarity.

Replaces legacy 62.5µm jumpers

It replaces older OM1 patch cords that show high insertion loss or damaged ferrules, and upgrades any link currently limited to slower Ethernet speeds. The jump is worth it when you need guaranteed 1000BASE-SX or 10GBASE-SR performance over existing multimode infrastructure without re-cabling the backbone.

Verify connector and jacket requirements

Check that both ends of your link use ST ports and that your transceivers accept UPC polish. Confirm the pathway is rated for OFNR riser cable and that the 16-foot length reaches between patch panels or switch ports without excess slack. Ensure the orange jacket matches your colour-coding standard for OM1 multimode.

Questions about this item

Will the 5m duplex ST/UPC patch cable reach between rack-mounted patch panels that are 16 ft apart?

The 5m (16 ft) length spans that distance; the orange OFNR jacket is rated for in-building riser runs between panels.

How do I seat the ST connectors so the ceramic ferrules achieve low-loss mating?

Align the key on each ST/UPC connector with the adapter sleeve, push straight in until the bayonet lugs click, then twist clockwise to lock the push-pull latch.

When should I plan to replace this OM1 62.5/125 µm jumper?

Replace it if insertion loss exceeds your link budget, if the ceramic ferrule end-face shows scratches or contamination that cleaning cannot remove, or if the OFNR jacket is cut or kinked.
