OS2 Single Mode Fibre Cable 9/125 LC ST 3m
A 3m duplex OS2 fibre patch lead with LC connectors at one end and ST at the other. Duplex means two fibres, one to send and one to receive, so a single lead connects a pair of ports.
OS2 is 9/125 single mode fibre, used where distance matters: between buildings, across a campus and on telecoms links. With suitable single mode transceivers it runs for kilometres rather than hundreds of metres.
LC plugs are small push-and-latch connectors used on SFP and SFP+ transceivers, modern switches and high density patch panels, while ST plugs are round bayonet connectors with a twist lock, common on older multimode equipment and patch panels. A lead like this joins LC equipment to ST equipment without an adapter.
3m reaches between neighbouring cabinets or from a panel to equipment a few units away. Avoid bending it tighter than 40mm, as sharp bends weaken the signal and can damage the fibre. The LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) jacket suits offices, data centres and public buildings.
