MSS Fibre ST-ST DUPLEX SM PATCHLEAD 0.5 MTR DSTST0.5M-SM

Description

Reliable Fibre Optic Connectivity for Network Installations

The MSS Fibre ST-ST Duplex Singlemode Patch Lead is designed for fibre optic connections between active equipment and patch panels in telecommunications, data centres and network infrastructure. With ST connectors at both ends, this 0.5-metre patch lead provides a compact connection solution for installations requiring duplex singlemode fibre connectivity.

Factory-terminated connectors simplify installation by providing ready-made connections without requiring on-site connector termination. The short cable length helps manage connections between closely positioned equipment and panels, making it suitable for organised network cabinets and telecommunications racks.

Singlemode Fibre for Telecommunications Applications

Designed for singlemode fibre applications, this patch lead is suited to telecommunications networks and high-speed metropolitan access networks. Its applications include CATV/video distribution, Passive Optical Networks (PON), Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM/DWDM) and Fibre to the Home (FTTH) infrastructure.

The ST connectors provide a consistent connector interface at both ends, while the duplex configuration supports fibre links requiring two optical paths. This makes the lead a practical option for fibre patching in network installations and equipment interconnections.

LSZH Sheath for Installation Environments

The patch lead features a 3mm Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) sheath and a yellow cable jacket for easy identification. LSZH cable materials are designed to reduce smoke and halogen acid gas emissions compared with conventional halogenated materials when exposed to fire.

Rated for up to 500 mating cycles in accordance with IEC 61300-2-2, the connectors are designed to accommodate repeated connection and disconnection during routine patching and maintenance. Its compact 0.5m length is suitable for short equipment connections where excess cable can complicate cable management.
