Description

This OS2 single-mode ST to ST duplex patch lead offers a highly reliable, robust, and cost-effective solution for long-distance, high-speed fibre optic networking. Designed for use in telecommunications rooms, data centres, and legacy enterprise networks, this patch cord provides a stable, low-loss connection for your fibre backbone.Key featuresOS2 single-mode fibre: Featuring high-quality 9/125µm single-mode fibre, this cable is optimised for long-distance, high-speed data transmission with minimal signal loss. It supports 1Gb, 10Gb, 40Gb, and even 100Gb Ethernet over long distances.ST to ST connectors: Terminated with durable and highly stable ST connectors on both ends. The long, cylindrical, 2.5mm ferrule and spring-loaded bayonet coupling mechanism ensure a secure and reliable connection.Duplex design: The two-strand configuration supports simultaneous, bidirectional data flow, making it perfect for connecting transceivers, switches, and other networking equipment.Low insertion loss: The precision zirconia ceramic ferrule ensures a low insertion loss ((<0.2dB)), ensuring optimal signal integrity for both long and short-distance applications.Robust construction: The patch lead is protected by a durable, 2.0mm or 3.0mm diameter zip-cord style jacket, often with a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) rating for added safety in indoor environments.Yellow jacket: The industry-standard yellow jacket colour ensures quick and accurate identification of this single-mode cable within a crowded patch panel or rack.Factory-tested and certified: Each patch lead is individually tested for insertion and return loss, and is supplied with a test report to verify its performance and quality.Typical applicationsConnecting equipment in legacy fibre optic networks.Long-distance telecommunication backbone installations.Inter-building and campus network connectivity.Data centre patching where ST connectors are still in use.
