Price range: $39.26 through $45.63
This OM2 LC to ST duplex fiber jumper cable is designed for reliable multi-mode patching in telecom rooms, LAN closets, and installed fiber systems that still use legacy ST hardware. With its 2.0mm orange jacket, it is easy to identify in mixed-cable environments and provides a practical bridge between LC and ST connections.

| Fiber Cable Types Comparison | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type | Core Size | Bandwidth | Data Rate | Distance | Application |
| OM1 | 62.5µm | Lowest, typically up to 200 MHz·km | Up to 1 Gbps | Typically up to 275 meters at 1 Gbps | Older legacy installations |
| OM2 | 50µm | Improved, typically 500 MHz·km | Up to 1 Gbps | Up to 550 meters at 1 Gbps | Mid-range installations |
| OM3 | 50µm (laser-optimized) | High, 2,000 MHz·km | Up to 10 Gbps | Up to 300 meters at 10 Gbps | High-speed data center backbone |
| OM4 | 50µm (advanced laser-optimized) | Highest, 4,700 MHz·km | 10–100 Gbps and higher | Up to 550 meters at 10 Gbps; up to 150 meters at 40/100 Gbps | High-performance data center networks requiring maximum speed and distance |
The main differences among OM1, OM2, OM3, and OM4 come down to core size, bandwidth, supported distance, and transmission speed. OM2 remains a dependable option for established multi-mode networks where you need better reach than OM1 without stepping into higher-speed OM3 or OM4 data center backbone requirements.
