This OM2 ST to ST simplex fiber cable provides dependable optical connectivity for enterprise networks, telecom rooms, and structured cabling environments. Featuring durable bayonet-style ST connectors on both ends, this cable is ideal for linking legacy fiber equipment, patch panels, and multimode optical hardware that use ST interfaces. The rugged 3.0 mm orange jacket protects the optical fiber while maintaining flexibility for clean routing inside racks, cabinets, and network enclosures.
| Fiber Type | Jacket Color | Core Size | Typical Speed | Distance | Best Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| OM1 | Orange | 62.5 µm | 1 Gbps | ~275 m | Legacy networks |
| OM2 | Orange | 50 µm | 1 Gbps | ~550 m | Enterprise networks |
| OM3 | Aqua | 50 µm (laser optimized) | 10 Gbps | ~300 m | Modern data centers |
| OM4 | Erika Violet | 50 µm (advanced laser optimized) | 10–100 Gbps+ | ~550 m (10G) ~150 m (40/100G) |

The primary differences between OM1, OM2, OM3, and OM4 multi-mode fiber involve core size, bandwidth capability, supported transmission distance, and maximum data rate. Higher-grade multimode fibers support faster speeds and longer reach for modern high-bandwidth networking environments. OM2 is a practical choice for enterprise multimode networks requiring dependable 1 Gbps performance and longer reach than OM1.
