Description

The 120 meter (394 ft) ST to ST outdoor armored fiber optic cable is engineered for network installations that demand extended reach, multiple fiber connections, and enhanced mechanical protection. Featuring 12 strands of 9/125μm OS2 single mode optical fiber, this pre-terminated assembly delivers six duplex fiber pairs within one reinforced cable, making it suitable for commercial properties, industrial facilities, telecommunications networks, and campus infrastructure.

Built with an integrated stainless steel armor layer, the cable provides additional protection against crushing, rodents, accidental impacts, and mechanical stress. Its reinforced construction helps protect sensitive optical fibers along demanding cable routes where standard unarmored fiber optic cables may be more vulnerable to physical damage.

Reliable 120-Meter Connections Across Large Facilities

With its 120-meter (394 ft) continuous cable length, this armored fiber assembly is well suited for extending network connections between separate buildings, linking remote telecommunications cabinets, connecting industrial control equipment, and supporting outdoor security infrastructure.

The additional length provides flexibility for installations that require routing around building structures, through protected cable pathways, or across large commercial and industrial properties.

Rather than connecting multiple shorter fiber assemblies, installers can establish a continuous optical route using one factory-terminated cable without intermediate fiber splices.

Both ends are equipped with factory-installed ST UPC connectors, eliminating the need for field connector installation, polishing, or specialized fiber termination procedures.

This installation-ready design helps reduce deployment time and simplifies fiber networking projects involving longer cable routes.

Twelve Fibers for Multiple Network Connections

The 12 strand configuration provides six duplex fiber pairs inside one armored cable, offering flexibility for current network requirements and future infrastructure expansion.

Several fiber pairs can be assigned to active optical links between network switches, telecommunications systems, industrial controllers, or other compatible networking equipment.

Remaining fibers can be reserved for backup connectivity, network redundancy, or additional equipment that may be installed later.

Alternatively, all six duplex pairs can support separate optical connections along the same cable route, reducing the need to install multiple individual fiber cables.

For longer installations, this spare fiber capacity can be especially valuable because adding new cables later may require additional labor, conduit access, or interruptions to existing network infrastructure.

Durable Armored Design and Single Mode Optical Performance

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

The factory-installed ST UPC connectors feature specified insertion loss of ≤0.3dB and return loss of ≥50dB, helping maintain consistent signal transmission between compatible fiber optic devices.

A stainless steel armor layer provides enhanced mechanical protection, while the PVC outer jacket helps protect the cable during handling and installation.

The specified 40mm bend radius and 100–132 lbs tensile load support installation through suitable cable pathways and protected conduit systems. Its operating temperature range of -40°C to 75°C further supports deployment in demanding indoor and appropriately rated outdoor environments.

For businesses requiring additional network capacity, extended cable reach, and reliable fiber protection, the 120M ST to ST 12 Strand OS2 Armored Fiber Optic Cable offers a practical solution for connecting multiple systems while preparing for future network expansion.
