Description

The 250 meter (820 ft) ST to ST outdoor armored fiber optic cable is designed for high-capacity network installations requiring extended cable reach, dependable single mode optical transmission, and enhanced protection against physical damage. Built with 12 strands of 9/125μm OS2 single mode fiber, this pre-terminated assembly provides six duplex fiber pairs in one durable armored cable.

With its extended 250-meter length and reinforced construction, this cable is an effective solution for establishing fiber connections across large commercial properties, industrial sites, campuses, and outdoor telecommunications networks.

An integrated stainless steel armor layer helps protect the delicate optical fibers against crushing, rodents, accidental impacts, and mechanical stress. This protective construction provides additional durability compared with conventional unarmored fiber optic cables, making it especially useful for installations where cable pathways may be exposed to physical hazards.

Long-Distance 250-Meter Fiber Connectivity

With a 250-meter (820 ft) continuous cable length, this armored fiber optic cable is ideal for connecting network infrastructure between distant buildings, remote equipment enclosures, industrial control facilities, and outdoor security installations.

Typical applications include manufacturing campuses, agricultural facilities, utility yards, warehouse complexes, telecommunications distribution networks, and large commercial properties.

For installations requiring long cable routes, using one continuous assembly can simplify network deployment by eliminating the need to connect multiple shorter fiber optic cables along the pathway.

Each cable arrives factory-terminated and tested with ST UPC connectors on both ends, reducing the need for specialized field termination tools, fiber polishing, or intermediate splicing.

This installation-ready design helps reduce labor requirements and minimizes additional connection points that could contribute to optical signal loss.

Twelve Strands for High-Capacity Network Infrastructure

The 12 strand OS2 configuration provides six independent duplex fiber pairs, allowing multiple optical network connections to share a single armored cable route.

Network administrators can dedicate several fiber pairs to active communication links between compatible switches, industrial controllers, telecommunications systems, and other optical networking devices.

Remaining fiber pairs can be reserved for backup connections, network redundancy, or additional equipment that may be introduced later.

Alternatively, all six duplex pairs can support separate optical links simultaneously, offering flexibility for facilities with multiple communication systems.

At a distance of 250 meters, installing spare fibers during the initial deployment can provide significant long-term benefits. Adding another cable later may require reopening extensive conduit pathways, accessing difficult installation locations, or interrupting existing operations.

The twelve-fiber configuration helps businesses prepare for future network growth while reducing the need for additional cable installation work.

Reinforced Armored Construction and Reliable Optical Performance

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

The factory-installed ST UPC connectors feature specified insertion loss of ≤0.3dB and return loss of ≥50dB, helping maintain reliable optical connections across compatible fiber networking equipment.

Its integrated stainless steel armor provides additional protection against mechanical damage, while the PVC outer jacket helps protect the assembly during handling, routing, and installation.

The specified 40mm bend radius and 100–132 lbs tensile load support installation through suitable cable pathways and protected conduit systems. The operating temperature range of -40°C to 75°C supports use in demanding industrial environments and outdoor applications where the cable jacket is appropriately rated.

Whether extending fiber infrastructure across a large property, connecting remote industrial systems, or supporting multiple security and telecommunications networks, this 250M ST to ST 12 Strand OS2 Armored Fiber Optic Cable combines long-distance connectivity, reinforced protection, and increased fiber capacity in one factory-terminated assembly.
