120m (394ft) ST to ST Outdoor Armored Fiber Optic Cable, 6 Strand 9/125 OS2 Single Mode

Key Features

• 120 Meter (394ft) Extended Length: Pre-terminated armored fiber optic cable designed for long outdoor runs, building-to-building connections, and industrial fiber network installations.

• 6 Strand OS2 Single Mode Fiber: Contains six individual optical fibers organized into three duplex pairs, offering multiple network connections and spare fiber capacity for future expansion.

• Stainless Steel Armored Protection: Reinforced metal armor helps protect sensitive optical fibers against crushing, rodent damage, mechanical pressure, and rough handling.

• ST to ST UPC Connectivity: Factory-installed ST UPC connectors on both ends provide secure optical connections without requiring field termination or connector polishing.

• Outdoor Network Applications: Suitable for telecommunications cabinets, industrial facilities, campus networks, security systems, and protected underground conduit installations.

• Pre-Terminated and Tested Assembly: Supplied as one continuous 120-meter cable, reducing the need for intermediate splices, additional connectors, and specialized installation tools.

• 9/125μm OS2 Optical Fiber: Supports high-bandwidth single mode communication for Ethernet networks, fiber backbone connections, and industrial networking equipment.

• Three Duplex Fiber Pairs: Operate up to three independent duplex connections or use one active pair while reserving the remaining fibers for redundancy and network upgrades.

• Low Optical Signal Loss: ST UPC connectors feature insertion loss of ≤0.3dB and return loss of ≥50dB for consistent optical performance.

• Durable Industrial Construction: Stainless steel tube and PVC outer jacket provide added mechanical protection with an operating temperature range of -40°C to 75°C.

Description

The 120 meter (394 ft) ST to ST outdoor armored fiber optic cable is engineered for reliable optical communication across extended distances where mechanical protection and long-term network flexibility are essential. Built with 6 strands of 9/125μm OS2 single mode fiber, this pre-terminated cable delivers dependable connectivity for outdoor telecommunications systems, commercial properties, industrial facilities, and campus fiber networks.

Its integrated stainless steel armor provides an additional protective barrier around the optical fibers, helping reduce the risk of damage caused by crushing, rodents, accidental impact, and demanding installation conditions. Compared with conventional unarmored fiber patch cables, this reinforced construction offers improved protection in exposed cable pathways, industrial equipment areas, and outdoor network installations.

Extended 120-Meter Fiber Connections

With a generous 120-meter (394 ft) cable length, this assembly is an excellent choice for linking network infrastructure between separate buildings, connecting remote telecommunications cabinets, extending fiber connections to industrial machinery, and supporting perimeter security equipment.

For facilities with multiple structures or equipment located away from the main network room, the continuous 120-meter cable offers a convenient way to establish an optical connection without installing intermediate splice points.

The cable comes factory-terminated and tested with ST UPC connectors on both ends, allowing installers to connect compatible fiber optic equipment without field polishing, connector assembly, or fiber splicing. This helps simplify installation and reduce labor requirements for outdoor and industrial networking projects.

Six-Fiber Capacity for Future Network Growth

The 6 strand design provides three duplex fiber pairs inside one armored cable, allowing network administrators to plan for both current connectivity and future infrastructure needs.

One duplex pair can be dedicated to an active network connection while the remaining two pairs stay available for backup links, additional devices, or future upgrades. Alternatively, all three duplex pairs can be used to establish separate optical connections between compatible networking equipment.

This added fiber capacity is especially useful when the cable route passes through long conduit runs, inaccessible pathways, or areas where installing another fiber cable would be costly or disruptive.

Reliable OS2 Single Mode Performance

Constructed using 9/125μm OS2 single mode optical fiber, this armored cable supports high-bandwidth communication over extended distances with low optical attenuation. The ST UPC connectors provide insertion loss of ≤0.3dB and return loss of ≥50dB, helping maintain reliable signal transmission for industrial Ethernet, telecommunications, enterprise networking, and fiber backbone applications.

The stainless steel tube and PVC jacket offer protection against mechanical stress while maintaining cable flexibility. With a specified 40mm bend radius, tensile capacity of 100–132 lbs, and an operating temperature range of -40°C to 75°C, this assembly is intended for challenging indoor and outdoor installation environments.

Whether extending a fiber network across a commercial property, connecting industrial control systems, or preparing additional fiber capacity for future expansion, this 120M ST to ST 6 strand armored fiber optic cable provides a combination of reach, durability, and installation convenience.
