5m OM2 ST Duplex Patch Cable

This 5-metre multimode fibre patch cable uses genuine Corning glass with a 50/125 µm core and ST/UPC connectors at both ends. It is built for installers and network engineers who need a ready-to-run jumper for short-reach Gigabit or 10G links inside data centres, SAN fabrics or enterprise backbones. The orange OFNR riser-rated jacket meets in-building fire codes for vertical and horizontal runs. The duplex construction keeps transmit and receive strands paired for correct polarity.

Thermals Noise Power

As a passive optical assembly the cable generates no heat, draws no power and produces no audible noise during operation. The ceramic ferrules and push-pull latching maintain low insertion loss without active components, so thermal load on connected transceivers and switch ports remains unchanged. The OFNR jacket material is rated for standard building temperature ranges encountered in equipment rooms and cable pathways. No external power supply or cooling is required for the cable itself.

Corning Fibre ST UPC Connectors

The use of Corning optical fibre ensures consistent attenuation and bandwidth characteristics across the 16-foot length, reducing troubleshooting time on 1000BASE-SX and 10GBASE-SR links. Precision ceramic ferrules with UPC polish provide repeatable, low-loss mating when plugged into SFP, SFP+ or QSFP transceivers, switches, routers, media converters or patch panels. The push-pull ST latch secures each connector against accidental disconnection during rack moves or cable management. No additional software, drivers or licences are bundled with the cable.

Questions about this item

How do I plug in the ST connectors and which mistake should I avoid?

Align the key on each ST/UPC ferrule with the port slot, push straight in until the bayonet clicks, then give a quarter-turn to lock; the common error is forcing the connector without the key aligned, which can chip the ceramic ferrule.

What will need replacement first on this duplex OM2 patch lead?

The ceramic ferrules and OFNR jacket are rated for the life of the installation; only repeated mating cycles or physical damage to the 50/125 µm Corning fiber would require swapping the cable.

What is the first performance limit I hit on a sustained 10GBASE-SR link?

The cable is built for 10GBASE-SR and 1000BASE-SX over OM2 multimode; at 5 metres the link budget is far from the standard reach, so the limiting factor will be the transceiver optics or switch port budget, not the patch cord itself.
