ST-ST Multimode OM2 Ultra Fiber Cable
The iFiber Optix ST to ST Multimode OM2 Ultra Fiber Cable is designed for high-speed, short-to-medium distance data transmission between legacy ST-based equipment and ST-terminated network infrastructure.
Built on OM2 50/125µm multimode fiber with low-loss ST connectors on both ends, this assembly delivers reliable performance for LANs, data centers, telecom systems, and enterprise environments that combine older hardware with modern platforms.
ST-ST Multimode OM2 Ultra Fiber Cable
The ST to ST Multimode OM2 Ultra Fiber Cable combines an ST (Straight Tip) connector on both ends, enabling seamless connections between twist-lock ST interfaces and ST ports across legacy and mixed-generation optical networks.
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, backbone links, and legacy integration projects.

Key Features
- Hybrid ST to ST Connectivity Combines ST connectors on both ends, enabling straightforward integration between legacy ST-based hardware and ST-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 ST-centric or mixed optical backbones without requiring immediate replacement of installed equipment.
Ideal Applications
ST-ST OM2 Ultra cables are deployed wherever high-speed, medium-distance multimode connectivity is needed between ST interfaces.
Local Area Networks
Connects switches, routers, and distribution equipment across small to medium office networks where ST-based plant still coexists with other legacy hardware.
Data Centers
Provides patching between legacy ST panels and ST-based core or aggregation switches during phased modernization projects.
Telecommunication Systems
