• Protective Stainless Steel Armor: Integrated metal armor helps protect internal fibers against crushing, rodent damage, mechanical impact, and rough installation conditions.

• ST UPC Connectors on Both Ends: Factory-installed connectors provide reliable optical connectivity while eliminating field connector assembly, polishing, and splicing.

• Continuous Pre-Terminated Assembly: The full 150-meter cable is supplied as one continuous assembly, reducing intermediate connection points and simplifying installation.

• Outdoor and Industrial Networking: Suitable for connections between buildings, remote equipment enclosures, industrial control cabinets, security systems, and telecommunications infrastructure.

• High-Performance 9/125μm OS2 Fiber: Supports high-bandwidth optical transmission for enterprise networks, industrial Ethernet, and fiber backbone applications.

• Flexible Three-Pair Configuration: Use one duplex pair for a primary network connection and reserve two additional pairs for future equipment or redundant links.

• Low-Loss ST UPC Connections: Specified insertion loss of ≤0.3dB and return loss of ≥50dB help maintain dependable optical signal performance.

• Rugged Cable Construction: Stainless steel tube and PVC jacket provide mechanical protection, with a specified operating temperature range of -40°C to 75°C.

Description

The 150 meter (492 ft) ST to ST outdoor armored fiber optic cable provides a rugged and dependable solution for extending single mode fiber connections across large properties, industrial facilities, and outdoor network environments. Designed with six strands of 9/125μm OS2 optical fiber, this pre-terminated assembly combines extended cable reach, reliable transmission performance, and reinforced protection in one convenient installation-ready product.

A built-in stainless steel armor layer surrounds the optical fibers, offering additional resistance to crushing, rodent damage, accidental impacts, and mechanical stress. This protective construction is particularly beneficial in industrial areas, outdoor cable pathways, warehouses, and facilities where standard unarmored fiber optic cables may be exposed to potential damage.

Extended Fiber Connectivity Across Large Properties

The 150-meter (492 ft) length is ideal for projects that require a continuous fiber connection between equipment locations separated by significant distances. Common applications include connecting multiple commercial buildings, linking remote network distribution cabinets, extending industrial Ethernet connections, and supporting security surveillance equipment along property boundaries.

Instead of assembling several shorter fiber cables or installing intermediate splice enclosures, this 150-meter assembly provides a continuous factory-terminated connection between compatible fiber optic devices.

Both ends feature ST UPC fiber optic connectors, allowing direct connection to compatible optical interfaces and fiber distribution panels. The factory-terminated and tested design helps reduce installation labor, specialized termination requirements, and potential signal loss from unnecessary connection points.

Six Strands for Multiple Network Connections

This armored cable contains 6 individual single mode fibers, providing three duplex fiber pairs in a single protective jacket.

For installations requiring additional reliability, one duplex pair can be used for the primary network connection while the remaining fibers are reserved for backup connectivity or future upgrades. The three duplex pairs may also be assigned to separate network links, depending on the connected equipment and installation requirements.

Having spare fibers already installed can be especially valuable on longer cable routes where additional cable pulls would require significant time, labor, or disruption.

Durable Armored Construction and Optical Performance

The cable uses 9/125μm OS2 single mode glass to support high-bandwidth optical communication for campus networks, telecommunications systems, industrial automation, and fiber backbone infrastructure.

Its factory-installed ST UPC connectors feature insertion loss of ≤0.3dB and return loss of ≥50dB, helping maintain stable optical connections and minimize connector-related signal degradation.

The stainless steel tube and PVC outer jacket provide enhanced mechanical protection while allowing routing through suitable cable pathways and protected conduit systems. A specified 40mm bend radius, tensile load of 100–132 lbs, and operating temperature range of -40°C to 75°C support deployment in demanding installation environments.

For network installers seeking extended cable reach, additional fiber capacity, and reinforced construction, this 150M ST to ST 6 strand OS2 armored fiber optic cable offers a practical solution for dependable network connectivity and future infrastructure growth.
