70m (230ft) ST to ST Outdoor Armored Fiber Optic Cable, 6 Strand Single Mode OS2 9/125

Key Features

• 70 Meter (230ft) Length: Pre-terminated ST to ST armored fiber optic cable designed for extended outdoor and industrial network connections.

• 6 Strand Single Mode Fiber: Includes six optical fibers arranged in three duplex pairs, providing flexibility for active connections, backup links, and future expansion.

• Heavy-Duty Armored Protection: Integrated stainless steel armor helps protect sensitive optical fibers against crushing, rodents, physical damage, and challenging installation conditions.

• Outdoor and Industrial Applications: Suitable for building-to-building networking, telecommunications cabinets, industrial control systems, and security infrastructure.

• Factory-Terminated ST UPC Connectors: ST UPC connectors on both ends eliminate field termination, polishing, and intermediate splicing.

• High-Performance OS2 Fiber: 9/125μm single mode fiber supports high-bandwidth data transmission for campus networks, backbone connections, and telecommunications systems.

• Reliable Optical Performance: Connector insertion loss of ≤0.3dB and return loss of ≥50dB help maintain consistent signal quality.

• Three Duplex Fiber Pairs: Supports up to three separate duplex links or provides spare fibers for network redundancy and future equipment upgrades.

• Durable Cable Construction: Stainless steel tube and PVC outer jacket provide additional resistance to mechanical stress and rough handling.

• Wide Temperature Range: Designed to operate from -40°C to 75°C for demanding indoor and outdoor installations.

Description

The 70 meter (230 ft) ST to ST outdoor armored single mode fiber optic cable offers a durable and efficient solution for extending fiber network connections across industrial properties, commercial buildings, and outdoor telecommunications environments. Its reinforced construction features an integrated stainless steel armor layer that helps protect optical fibers from crushing, rodent damage, accidental impact, and mechanical stress. This additional protection makes the cable a practical alternative to conventional fiber optic patch cables in demanding installation locations.

With its 70-meter reach, this armored fiber assembly is particularly useful for connecting equipment between separate buildings, extending network infrastructure to remote security enclosures, linking manufacturing equipment, and establishing reliable communication between outdoor control cabinets. The cable is supplied as one continuous factory-terminated and tested assembly with ST UPC connectors at both ends. This eliminates the need for field splicing, connector polishing, and additional termination hardware while simplifying the overall installation process.

Inside the protective armored jacket are 6 strands of 9/125μm OS2 single mode fiber, providing three independent duplex fiber pairs. Network installers can dedicate one pair to an active connection and reserve the remaining pairs for backup or future network expansion. Alternatively, all three pairs can be used simultaneously to connect multiple compatible fiber optic devices. This configuration helps reduce the need for additional cable runs as network requirements increase.

The ST UPC connectors provide dependable optical connections with insertion loss of ≤0.3dB and return loss of ≥50dB. Combined with OS2 single mode technology, the cable supports high-bandwidth optical communication for industrial Ethernet, enterprise networking, campus connectivity, and fiber backbone applications.

Its stainless steel tube and PVC jacket provide mechanical durability, while the specified 40mm bend radius and tensile load of 100–132 lbs support installation in challenging environments. The cable operates within a temperature range of -40°C to 75°C, making it suitable for a variety of outdoor and industrial fiber networking applications.
