Fiber-patchkabel MicroConnect MTRJ/UPC til ST/UPC, 5 m, OM1 multimode

MicroConnect fiber patch cable with an MTRJ/UPC connector on one end and an ST/UPC connector on the other provides a 5 m OM1 multimode link for short-distance optical connections. The cable is designed to deliver standard multimode performance in local area networks and telecom equipment, enabling reliable interconnection between transceivers, patch panels and network devices. OM1 multimode fiber supports legacy multimode applications and common short-reach installations where singlemode performance is not required.

Advantages

The cable combines compact MTRJ and widely used ST terminations to offer flexible compatibility with different ports. A 5 m length balances reach and manageability in server rooms, racks and workspaces while OM1 multimode fiber provides cost-effective transmission for short-distance links. UPC polish on both connectors ensures low reflectance and stable optical performance for standard multimode systems. The patch cord is factory-terminated and tested to provide consistent insertion loss and return loss suitable for typical LAN and telecom setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting multimode transceivers to patch panels in campus and office networks
• Short-distance links between switches, routers and media converters
• Telecom equipment interconnects where OM1 multimode is specified
• Laboratory and testing setups that require MTRJ-to-ST adaptivity

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM1 multimode
• Length: 5 m
• Connector A: MTRJ with UPC polish
• Connector B: ST with UPC polish
• Core diameter: 62.5 µm multimode core (typical for OM1)
• Cable construction: multimode patch cord with strain relief boots
• Typical uses: short-range data and network connections

How to use

Route the 5 m MicroConnect patch cable between the required equipment ports, ensuring connectors match the device interfaces (MTRJ to MTRJ receptacle or adaptor, ST to ST jack). Before insertion, inspect connector endfaces for contamination and clean with appropriate fiber-cleaning tools if necessary. Insert connectors straight into the mating ports without twisting, and secure any bayonet or latch mechanisms on ST connectors. Avoid bending the cable beyond the recommended minimum bend radius to maintain optical performance.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, store and handle the OM1 multimode patch cord in a clean environment, use dust caps when connectors are not in use, and perform endface cleaning before connecting to sensitive transceivers. Select this MTRJ/UPC to ST/UPC 5 m cable when existing infrastructure or devices require the specific connector types and OM1 multimode characteristics for short-reach networking.
