Description

The 20 meter (66 ft) ST to ST outdoor armored fiber optic cable with 12 strands provides reliable high-capacity optical connectivity for industrial facilities, commercial networks, and outdoor telecommunications installations. Featuring 9/125μm OS2 single mode fiber, this pre-terminated assembly combines multiple fiber connections, reinforced mechanical protection, and installation convenience in one durable cable.

Unlike conventional unarmored fiber optic cables, this assembly incorporates a stainless steel armor layer that helps protect the internal fibers from crushing, rodents, accidental impacts, and demanding installation conditions. The rugged design makes it a practical choice for environments where fiber optic cables require additional physical protection.

20-Meter Armored Fiber Connectivity

With its 20-meter (66 ft) length, this cable is ideal for connecting network cabinets, industrial control equipment, nearby buildings, outdoor enclosures, and telecommunications distribution points.

The pre-terminated design is particularly useful for installations where fiber optic equipment is located within a short distance but requires a protected cable pathway. Common applications include warehouse network connections, factory automation systems, security camera infrastructure, and outdoor communications equipment.

Both ends are factory-terminated with ST UPC fiber optic connectors, eliminating field connector polishing, splicing, and specialized termination work. The continuous cable assembly helps simplify deployment and reduces the number of connection points along the fiber route.

Twelve Fibers for Increased Network Capacity

The 12 strand configuration provides six duplex fiber pairs within a single armored cable, making it suitable for installations that require multiple optical connections or additional capacity for future growth.

Network installers can assign several pairs to active connections while reserving the remaining strands for backup systems or planned network upgrades.

Alternatively, all six duplex pairs can support independent fiber links between compatible networking devices. This allows businesses to expand their fiber infrastructure without pulling additional cables through the same conduit or cable pathway.

The higher fiber count is especially beneficial for telecommunications cabinets, industrial network distribution points, security systems, and commercial installations where multiple devices need reliable optical connectivity.

Reliable Single Mode Performance and Armored Protection

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

Factory-installed ST UPC connectors offer insertion loss of ≤0.3dB and return loss of ≥50dB, helping maintain dependable signal transmission across compatible optical networking equipment.

The protective stainless steel tube and PVC outer jacket provide enhanced resistance to mechanical stress while maintaining cable flexibility for installation through suitable pathways.

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 cable is intended for demanding indoor and outdoor networking environments.

For installations requiring multiple fiber connections, spare capacity, and additional mechanical protection, this 20M ST to ST 12 Strand OS2 Armored Fiber Optic Cable provides a convenient and expandable solution for modern fiber optic networks.
