3M ST/SC Duplex Multimode 50/125 OM2 3.0mm Fiber Patch Cable,
Orange
1. Basic Introduction:
50/125 OM2 Multimode fiber is crafted and created for fast
Ethernet, Fiber Channel, Gigabit Ethernet Speeds, data center, OM2
legacy, Local Area Networks, SAN, backbone, riser, and horizontal
applications.
OM2 fiber patch cords operate at a recommended spectrum of
temperature: (-4°F to +158°F) and have a MIN Install Bend radius of
5.00 cm and a MIN long-term Bend radius of 3.00 cm.
OM2 50/125 Multimode fiber patch cords reduce the installation
process and minimize the total cost of installation, due to
pre-terminated fiber intrinsic plug-and-play feature.
ST connector has a Twist-on / twist off bayonet mount with a
ceramic ferrule.

6. How to choose Fiber patch cords?
1) Fiber Cable Mode: Single Mode or Multimode
The mode of fiber patch cables indicates how light beams travel
within the fiber. There are two fiber cable modes: single mode and
multimode.
2) Number of Fiber Strands: Simplex or Duplex
According to the number of fiber strands, there are simplex and
duplex fiber patch cord. As shown in Figure 2, simplex fiber patch
cord contains one single strand of fiber with one simplex connector
on each end. It can be linked with a pair of BiDi transceiver
modules featuring with one port. Whereas duplex fiber patch cord
consists of two strands of glass or plastic with one duplex
connector (or considered as two simplex connectors). It is often
linked with common transceivers or dual fiber BiDi transceivers.
3) Choose the Right Cable Jacket Type (PVC/LSZH/OFNP/Armored)
Usually, there are three cable jacket types: Polyvinyl Chloride
(PVC), Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) and Optical Fiber
Nonconductive Plenum (OFNP). You can see there features in figure
below and choose the right one for your network.
4) Choose the Right Connector Polish Type (UPC/APC)
Since the loss of the APC connector is lower than UPC connectors,
usually, the optical performance of APC connectors is better than
UPC connectors. In the current market, the APC connectors are
widely used in applications such as FTTx, passive optical network
(PON) and wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) that are more
sensitive to return loss. But APC connector is usually expensive
than UPC connector, so you should weigh the pros and cons. With
those applications that call for high precision optical fiber
signaling, APC should be the first consideration, but less
sensitive digital systems will perform equally well using UPC.
Usually, connector color of APC patch cable is green, and of UPC
patch cable is blue.
