Description

The 50 meter (164 ft) ST to ST outdoor armored fiber optic cable is designed for high-capacity network installations that require dependable single mode connectivity and enhanced protection against physical damage. Featuring 12 strands of 9/125μm OS2 optical fiber, this rugged cable delivers six duplex fiber pairs within one reinforced assembly, making it suitable for industrial facilities, commercial buildings, campus networks, and outdoor telecommunications applications.

Its built-in stainless steel armor provides an additional protective barrier around the optical fibers, helping resist crushing, rodents, accidental impacts, and mechanical stress. This reinforced construction offers greater physical protection than conventional unarmored fiber patch cables, especially in locations where cable pathways are exposed to demanding environmental or installation conditions.

50-Meter Fiber Connectivity for Commercial and Industrial Networks

With a 50-meter (164 ft) cable length, this assembly provides convenient connectivity between equipment rooms, distribution cabinets, nearby buildings, industrial machinery, and outdoor network enclosures.

It is particularly useful for extending fiber connections throughout warehouses, manufacturing plants, business campuses, and security surveillance installations. The continuous cable design allows network installers to establish a complete fiber route without joining multiple shorter cables.

Each assembly arrives factory-terminated and tested with ST UPC connectors on both ends, eliminating the need for field connector polishing, intermediate splicing, or specialized fiber termination procedures.

This ready-to-install configuration helps simplify deployment, reduce installation labor, and maintain consistent optical connections across compatible networking equipment.

Twelve Fibers for Higher Network Capacity

The 12 strand OS2 single mode configuration provides six duplex fiber pairs inside one armored cable, offering significant flexibility for installations that require multiple optical connections.

For example, several fiber pairs can support active connections between network switches, industrial control equipment, security devices, or telecommunications distribution systems, while the remaining pairs stay available for future expansion.

Alternatively, all six duplex pairs can support independent network links between compatible devices, allowing multiple connections to share a single cable pathway.

This design is especially beneficial in installations where adding another fiber cable later would require additional conduit space, new cable pulls, or interruptions to existing network infrastructure.

Having spare fiber capacity available from the beginning helps support network scalability and long-term infrastructure planning.

Reinforced Protection with Reliable Optical Performance

Built using 9/125μm OS2 single mode optical fiber, this cable supports high-bandwidth optical communication with low signal attenuation over extended distances.

The factory-installed ST UPC fiber connectors provide specified insertion loss of ≤0.3dB and return loss of ≥50dB, helping maintain reliable communication for enterprise networks, industrial Ethernet applications, and telecommunications systems.

Its stainless steel tube provides an additional layer of mechanical protection, while the PVC jacket helps protect the internal cable assembly during installation and operation.

The specified 40mm bend radius and 100–132 lbs tensile load support routing through suitable cable pathways, conduits, and equipment installations. An operating temperature range of -40°C to 75°C further supports use in demanding indoor and appropriately rated outdoor environments.

Whether connecting commercial buildings, expanding industrial automation networks, or installing fiber infrastructure for security and telecommunications equipment, this 50M ST to ST 12 Strand OS2 Armored Fiber Optic Cable provides a practical combination of fiber capacity, durability, and installation convenience.
