• 6 Strand OS2 Single Mode Fiber: Features six individual optical fibers arranged into three duplex pairs for multiple network connections, redundancy, and future expansion.

• Reinforced Stainless Steel Armor: Built-in metal armor provides added protection against crushing, rodent damage, abrasion, and physical stress during installation.

• Pre-Terminated ST to ST UPC Connectors: Factory-installed ST UPC connectors on both ends simplify deployment and eliminate field termination and connector polishing.

• Continuous 100M Cable Assembly: Delivered as one factory-terminated cable length without intermediate splices, helping reduce installation complexity and additional connection points.

• High-Bandwidth Fiber Connectivity: 9/125μm OS2 single mode fiber supports reliable optical signal transmission for enterprise networks, campus infrastructure, and industrial communication systems.

• Flexible 6-Fiber Configuration: Use one duplex pair for an active network link and keep four fibers available for backup, or establish three independent duplex connections.

• Low-Loss Optical Performance: ST UPC connections feature insertion loss of ≤0.3dB and return loss of ≥50dB for dependable signal transmission.

• Rugged Outdoor Construction: Stainless steel tube and PVC jacket help protect the cable in demanding industrial and outdoor installation environments.

• Wide Operating Temperature: Supports temperatures from -40°C to 75°C for outdoor telecommunications, industrial networking, and protected underground conduit applications.

Description

The 100 meter (328 ft) ST to ST outdoor armored fiber optic cable is built for network installations that require extended cable reach, durable protection, and dependable single mode optical performance. Featuring six strands of 9/125μm OS2 fiber inside a reinforced stainless steel armored construction, this cable provides a practical solution for connecting distant network equipment while reducing exposure to physical damage.

Unlike standard fiber optic patch cables, this armored assembly incorporates a protective metal layer that helps shield the internal optical fibers from crushing, rodents, excessive handling, and mechanical stress. Its rugged design makes it suitable for industrial properties, outdoor telecommunications installations, warehouses, agricultural facilities, and other locations where additional cable protection is important.

Reliable 100-Meter Fiber Connectivity

The 100-meter length is particularly useful for extending optical connections across large properties, connecting separate buildings, reaching remote network cabinets, and supporting perimeter surveillance infrastructure. Whether linking a main equipment room to an outdoor control enclosure or establishing fiber communication between industrial network switches, this cable provides a continuous optical path without requiring intermediate fiber splices.

Each assembly arrives factory-terminated and tested with ST UPC connectors on both ends. This pre-terminated design reduces the need for specialized fiber termination tools, field polishing, or splice enclosures, helping installers complete projects more efficiently.

Six Fibers for Network Flexibility

With 6 strands of OS2 single mode fiber, the cable provides three duplex fiber pairs within one armored jacket. This configuration supports multiple network deployment options.

For critical installations, one duplex pair can serve as the primary communication link while the remaining four fibers remain available for redundancy or future upgrades. Alternatively, all three duplex pairs can support independent connections between compatible optical networking devices.

This additional fiber capacity is especially valuable for installations where pulling new cables later would require reopening underground conduit, accessing elevated pathways, or interrupting operational equipment.

Durable Protection and Optical Performance

The cable uses 9/125μm OS2 single mode glass designed for high-bandwidth optical communication. Factory-installed ST UPC connectors provide low insertion loss of ≤0.3dB and high return loss of ≥50dB, supporting consistent optical performance across campus, industrial, and enterprise fiber networks.

Its stainless steel tube and PVC outer jacket provide additional mechanical protection while maintaining flexibility for installation. With a specified 40mm bend radius, tensile load of 100–132 lbs, and operating temperature range of -40°C to 75°C, this armored fiber optic cable is designed for demanding networking environments.

The combination of extended reach, six-fiber capacity, and armored construction makes this 100M ST to ST cable a dependable choice for expanding outdoor fiber networks without sacrificing installation convenience.
