Belden Inc. FP1STST017MR3XO Fiber Patch Cable OM1 St St

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. FP1STST017MR3XO is a fiber optic patch cable designed for structured cabling installations requiring reliable multimode connectivity. This OM1 grade cable terminates with ST connectors on both ends and ships at a length of 17 meters. OM1 multimode fiber supports 62.5-micron core diameter and is suited for shorter-run data and telecom links. Licensed low-voltage, datacom, and network technicians install this type of patch cable in horizontal runs, equipment rooms, and patch panel applications where a pre-terminated, factory-tested assembly is preferred over field-terminated solutions.

This patch cable is appropriate for use in commercial and light industrial structured cabling environments. ST-to-ST connectivity is common in legacy multimode fiber installations, including those found in data centers, campus backbones, and building distribution frames that have not yet migrated to LC or SC termination schemes. The 17-meter length suits inter-rack and cross-floor runs within a single floor or equipment room. Pre-terminated factory assemblies like this one are also used by network contractors to minimize installation time and eliminate field polishing variables.

Key Features

• OM1 multimode fiber with 62.5-micron core suitable for shorter-run Ethernet and fiber channel links
• ST connector on both ends for compatibility with legacy multimode fiber infrastructure
• 17-meter factory-terminated length reduces field labor and polishing requirements
• Sold as a single unit for precise quantity ordering on retrofit and new-construction projects

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or addition for multimode fiber patch panel and equipment port applications using ST-type connectors in OM1 infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Fiber patch cables of this type are installed by licensed low-voltage or datacom technicians following TIA-568 and applicable local codes. Power down or place affected ports in a safe state before disconnecting active fiber links to avoid laser exposure from connected transceivers. Avoid bending the cable tighter than the rated minimum bend radius, and do not exceed the cable's pull tension during routing. Clean ST ferrules with an approved fiber cleaning tool before mating to minimize insertion loss.
