OM1 LC – ST Multi-Mode Simplex Fiber Jumper Cable — 3.0mm Orange Jacket Multi-Mode Fiber Patch Cable This OM1 LC to ST simplex fiber jumper cable provides reliable optical connectivity for legacy multi-mode fiber networks. The cable features a compact LC connector on one end and a durable bayonet-style ST connector on the other, making it ideal for linking modern switching equipment to older ST-based fiber panels. A rugged 3.0 mm orange jacket protects the fiber while maintaining flexibility for rack, cabinet, and patch-panel installations. Why these cables matter Mixed connector compatibility — Connects LC-based equipment to legacy ST fiber infrastructure. Simplex fiber design — Single optical strand for one-direction transmission. Precision ceramic ferrules — Ensure low insertion loss and consistent signal integrity. Flexible 3.0 mm jacket — Protects the fiber while maintaining easy routing in cabinets and racks.
