This OM2 SC to ST duplex fiber cable provides dependable optical connectivity for enterprise networks, telecom rooms, and structured cabling environments. Featuring a secure SC connector on one end and a durable bayonet-style ST connector on the other, this cable is ideal for linking modern fiber equipment with legacy ST-based infrastructure. The rugged 3.0 mm orange jacket protects the optical fibers 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.
