This Cables Direct Fibre Optic Cable is designed for users needing high-bandwidth data transmission, offering superior performance over standard copper cables. It features LC to ST connectors and a durable grey, low smoke zero halogen jacket. While ideal for demanding network environments, ensure compatibility with your existing infrastructure's connector types.

LC connectors are small form-factor connectors that use a push-pull mechanism. ST connectors are older, larger connectors that use a bayonet-style twist-lock mechanism. This cable bridges the gap between these two common types.
This is a multi-mode fiber optic cable (62.5/125µm). It is suitable for moderate distances. For higher speeds (like 10 Gbps), the effective distance is typically up to 33 meters. For lower speeds (like 1 Gbps), it can reach up to 550 meters. For very long distances (kilometers), single-mode fiber is usually required.
It means the cable's jacket is made from materials that produce very little smoke and no toxic halogenated gases when burned. This is a safety feature important for installations in public buildings or confined spaces.
No, this is a multi-mode fiber cable. It is designed for use with multi-mode transceivers and infrastructure. Using it with single-mode equipment will result in poor performance or no connection.
Use a specialized fiber optic cleaning tool, such as a one-click cleaner or lint-free wipes with an appropriate cleaning fluid (like isopropyl alcohol). Ensure the connector face is clean before attempting to connect it to equipment.
The cable can operate in temperatures ranging from -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F).
The core diameter is 62.5 micrometers (µm) and the cladding diameter is 125 micrometers (µm). This is a standard specification for OM1 multi-mode fiber.
Verify that both LC and ST connectors are fully seated in their respective ports. Check that the connected devices are powered on and configured correctly. Ensure the fiber type (multi-mode) and connector types (LC/ST) match the equipment's requirements.
Inspect the connectors and ports for dirt or damage. Clean the connectors using appropriate fiber optic cleaning tools. Ensure the cable is not sharply bent or kinked. Check the device logs for any error messages related to the fiber connection.
Do not use a visibly damaged cable. Replace it immediately to prevent further equipment damage or performance issues. Inspect the ports on your devices for any damage as well.
