Purpose and compatibility

This duplex patch cable links fibre channel controller cards and switches using LC male and ST male connectors. It is built for gigabit and 10Gbps networks and offers backward compatibility with 62.5 micron fibre. The orange PVC jacket identifies the 50/125 micron multimode construction at a glance. Installers who need single-mode fibre or different connector types should choose another product.

Build quality and daily handling

Premium PVC sheathing protects the duplex fibres while remaining flexible for rack and panel routing. Both ends terminate in male connectors so the cable plugs directly into equipment ports without gender changers. The 1 metre length suits adjacent devices but will not span longer cabinet runs. Users requiring armoured jackets or plenum ratings must look elsewhere.

Signal integrity and power considerations

Attenuation loss meets or exceeds current industry standards, preserving signal quality on high-bandwidth links. The passive design draws no power and adds no active noise to the installation. Built-in headroom supports future application upgrades within the same multimode specification. Buyers needing active optical cables or lower-loss single-mode performance cannot use this cable.

Questions about this item

What bandwidth does the 50/125 micron multimode fibre support?

The 50/125 micron construction is optimised for gigabit and 10Gbps network links with headroom for future applications.

What connectors must the patch panels or equipment provide for this cable?

One end uses an LC male connector and the other end uses an ST male connector, both duplex.

How do I connect the LC and ST ends without crossing the fibres?

Match the colour-coded boots on each duplex connector so the transmit fibre on one side plugs into the receive port on the other.
