ST-SC Multimode OM2 Ultra Fiber Cable
The iFiber Optix ST to SC Multimode OM2 Ultra Fiber Cable is designed for high-speed, short-to-medium distance data transmission between legacy ST-based equipment and SC-terminated network infrastructure.
Built on OM2 50/125µm multimode fiber with low-loss ST and SC connectors, this hybrid assembly delivers reliable performance for LANs, data centers, telecom systems, and enterprise environments that combine older hardware with modern platforms.
ST-SC Multimode OM2 Ultra Fiber Cable
The ST to SC Multimode OM2 Ultra Fiber Cable combines an ST (Straight Tip) connector on one end with an SC (Subscriber Connector) on the other, enabling seamless connections between twist-lock ST interfaces and snap-in SC ports.
With OM2 50/125µm multimode fiber and low insertion loss terminations, this assembly supports high-bandwidth networking over medium distances, making it well-suited for upgrades, mixed-interface backbones, and legacy integration projects.

Key Features
- Hybrid ST to SC Connectivity Combines a twist-lock ST connector with a snap-in SC connector, enabling straightforward integration between legacy ST-based hardware and modern SC-terminated equipment.
- OM2 Multimode Performance 50/125µm OM2 fiber supports high-bandwidth links over medium distances, making it well-suited for LAN, data center, and telecom applications that exceed OM1 capabilities.
- Low Insertion Loss Connector terminations are specified at 0.3 dB insertion loss with a 0.2 dB typical value, helping maintain clean, efficient optical paths across your network.
- Durable, Repeatable Connections Rated for at least 500 mating cycles with less than 0.2 dB change in insertion loss, ensuring stable performance even in frequently reconfigured patching environments.
- Wide Operating Temperature Performs reliably from -40°C to +85°C, supporting deployment in a broad range of controlled indoor environments and equipment rooms.
- Ready for Mixed-Generation Networks Ideal for bridging older ST-based segments into SC-centric backbones without requiring immediate replacement of installed equipment.
Ideal Applications
ST-SC OM2 Ultra cables are deployed wherever high-speed, medium-distance multimode connectivity is needed between ST and SC interfaces.
Local Area Networks
Connects switches, routers, and distribution equipment across small to medium office networks where ST-based plant still coexists with SC-terminated hardware.
Data Centers
Provides patching between legacy ST panels and SC-based core or aggregation switches during phased modernization projects.
Telecommunication Systems
Links ST-terminated frames and SC-based network elements in telecom rooms, ensuring stable, low-loss connections across critical circuits.
Enterprise Networks
Supports backbone and distribution links in enterprises that maintain ST-based segments alongside newer SC infrastructure.
Campus Networks
Used to connect buildings or wiring closets where installed ST equipment interfaces with SC-based switches or patch fields.
Labs & Test Environments
Ideal for test setups that must connect ST-terminated instruments to SC-based optical distribution or monitoring equipment.
