Description

The 100 meter (328 ft) ST to ST outdoor armored fiber optic cable delivers high-capacity single mode connectivity for network installations requiring extended cable reach, reinforced protection, and multiple optical connections. Built with 12 strands of 9/125μm OS2 single mode fiber, this pre-terminated cable provides six duplex fiber pairs within one durable armored assembly.

Designed for commercial properties, industrial facilities, campus networks, and outdoor telecommunications infrastructure, the cable combines reliable optical transmission with additional protection against physical damage.

An integrated stainless steel armor layer surrounds the internal optical fibers, helping protect them against crushing, rodent activity, accidental impact, and mechanical stress. This reinforced design offers greater protection than conventional unarmored fiber patch cables, making it suitable for installations where fiber pathways may be exposed to challenging conditions.

Extended 100-Meter Fiber Connectivity

With a 100-meter (328 ft) continuous cable length, this armored fiber assembly provides a practical solution for connecting network equipment across large facilities and between separate buildings.

Common applications include linking telecommunications distribution cabinets, extending industrial Ethernet connections, connecting remote control systems, and supporting outdoor security surveillance infrastructure.

The 100-meter length is especially useful for installations requiring cable routing through long conduit systems, warehouse pathways, industrial equipment areas, and commercial building infrastructure.

Each assembly is factory-terminated and tested with ST UPC connectors on both ends, eliminating the need for field connector installation, fiber polishing, or intermediate splicing.

The continuous pre-terminated design simplifies installation and helps reduce labor requirements while avoiding unnecessary connection points along the cable route.

Twelve Fibers for High-Capacity Network Expansion

The 12 strand configuration provides six independent duplex fiber pairs, offering additional connectivity options within a single armored cable.

Network administrators can dedicate multiple pairs to active connections while reserving unused fibers for redundancy, backup communication, or planned infrastructure upgrades.

Alternatively, all six duplex pairs can support separate optical links between compatible networking devices, including fiber switches, industrial controllers, telecommunications systems, and other optical equipment.

This flexibility is particularly beneficial for larger facilities where multiple network connections must travel along the same physical route.

By installing twelve fibers during the initial deployment, organizations can prepare for future network growth without repeatedly pulling additional cables through the same conduit or equipment pathways.

Reinforced Armored Protection and Reliable Optical Performance

Constructed using 9/125μm OS2 single mode fiber, this cable supports high-bandwidth optical communication with low attenuation for enterprise networking, industrial Ethernet, telecommunications systems, and fiber backbone applications.

Factory-installed ST UPC connectors provide specified insertion loss of ≤0.3dB and return loss of ≥50dB, helping maintain consistent optical performance across compatible networking equipment.

The integrated stainless steel tube provides additional protection from mechanical damage, while the PVC outer jacket helps protect the cable during installation and operation.

With a specified 40mm bend radius, tensile load of 100–132 lbs, and operating temperature range of -40°C to 75°C, this armored assembly is intended for demanding indoor and suitably rated outdoor fiber installations.

Whether extending network infrastructure between buildings, connecting industrial automation equipment, or supporting multiple security and telecommunications systems, the 100M ST to ST 12 Strand OS2 Armored Fiber Optic Cable provides an efficient combination of extended reach, multiple fiber connections, and reinforced cable protection.
