Belden Inc. FP3STST002MR3SA OM3 St St 2m Fiber Patch Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. FP3STST002MR3SA is a multimode fiber optic patch cable designed for high-bandwidth data and communication system interconnects. Built to OM3 multimode fiber specifications, this cable features ST connectors on both ends and a 2-meter length, making it well suited for structured cabling installations, equipment room cross-connects, and short-run optical links. Licensed low-voltage and data communications contractors install this type of cable as part of backbone and horizontal cabling infrastructure in commercial and industrial environments.

This patch cable is intended for use in multimode fiber optic network installations where ST-to-ST connectivity is required. Typical applications include connecting fiber patch panels to active network equipment such as switches, media converters, and optical transceivers. The 2-meter reach is standard for rack-to-rack and panel-to-equipment runs within telecommunications rooms and data centers. It is sold as a single unit.

Key Features

• OM3 multimode fiber construction supports high-bandwidth applications including 10-Gigabit Ethernet over short distances
• ST connector on each end provides secure bayonet-style mating for repeatable low-loss connections
• 2-meter length suits typical equipment room and rack-mount cross-connect applications
• Factory-terminated and factory-tested for plug-and-play installation without field polishing or epoxy
• Single-unit packaging allows for precise quantity procurement on smaller jobs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation patch cable for multimode fiber optic systems requiring ST-to-ST connectivity on OM3-rated infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage or data communications contractors following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Before connecting or disconnecting fiber patch cables, power down or disable the associated optical transceivers where required by site safety procedures, and never look directly into a fiber end face while the link is active. Handle ST ferrules carefully to avoid contamination, and use appropriate fiber connector cleaning tools before mating. Inspect both mating ports for dust caps and clean as needed prior to insertion.
