This OM1 LC to ST simplex fiber jumper cable provides reliable optical connectivity for legacy multi-mode fiber networks. The cable features a compact LC connector on one end and a durable bayonet-style ST connector on the other, making it ideal for linking modern switching equipment to older ST-based fiber panels. A rugged 3.0Â mm orange jacket protects the fiber while maintaining flexibility for rack, cabinet, and patch-panel installations.
| 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) |
