Optical Cable Corp. S6ST-ST-3M Fiber Optic Patch Cable St-st

Product Description

The OPTICAL CABLE CORP. S6ST-ST-3M is a 62.5-micron multimode fiber optic patch cable configured with ST connectors on both ends. This simplex cable spans 3 meters and is sheathed in an orange jacket, the standard color designation for 62.5/125 multimode fiber. It is used to establish short-run fiber connections between active equipment, patch panels, and distribution frames. Installation is typically performed by low-voltage technicians, network cabling contractors, and telecom professionals working in structured cabling environments.

This patch cable is suited for multimode fiber optic networks in commercial and light industrial environments. The ST-to-ST simplex configuration makes it a direct fit for legacy fiber infrastructure and equipment that uses bayonet-style ST connectors. Typical applications include connecting fiber switches, media converters, optical transceivers, and patch panels in data centers, office buildings, and campus network installations where 62.5/125 multimode fiber is the installed plant standard.

Key Features

• 62.5/125 multimode fiber core for compatibility with legacy multimode fiber infrastructure
• ST to ST connector configuration with bayonet-style coupling for secure, repeatable connections
• Simplex construction — single fiber strand for one-way or half-duplex optical links
• 3-meter length suits rack-to-rack and patch-panel-to-switch runs in structured cabling enclosures
• Orange jacket provides immediate visual identification as 62.5/125 multimode per TIA-598 color coding

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or supplemental patch cable for multimode fiber optic systems using 62.5/125 ST-terminated ports on switches, media converters, patch panels, and optical transceivers.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage cabling technicians and network installers typically handle fiber patch cable installation. Clean connector end-faces with an appropriate fiber optic cleaning tool before mating to avoid insertion loss or signal degradation. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing. Installation in commercial structured cabling systems should follow ANSI/TIA-568 standards as applicable.
