Belkin 1M 10GB Multimode LC/ST Duplex Fiber Optic Cable (Aqua)

Overview

The Belkin F2F402L0-01M-G is a one-meter multimode fiber optic cable designed to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections between devices with different connector types. Featuring an LC duplex connector on one end and an ST duplex connector on the other, it enables seamless bridging of equipment within racks or across adjacent cabinets. The cable’s OM3-rated glass core supports high-bandwidth applications such as virtualized servers, storage area networks, and high-resolution media streaming, all while maintaining signal integrity over short distances.

Key features

• OM3 multimode fiber with a 50 micron core and 125 micron cladding supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other demanding protocols.
• LC duplex to ST duplex connectors allow easy connection between devices using different fiber interfaces without additional adapters.
• Backward compatibility with older 50/125 multimode equipment enables smooth network upgrades without replacing existing hardware.
• Compact one-meter length reduces cable slack, helping maintain organized patch panels and improving airflow in dense network environments.
• Aqua-colored jacket provides quick visual identification of 10-gigabit links, simplifying maintenance and troubleshooting.
• Manufactured to ISO/IEC 11801 standards and tested to Belkin’s quality requirements for reliable, enterprise-grade performance.

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable is ideal for network environments where devices use different fiber optic connectors, such as LC and ST. It fits well in enterprise closets, data centers, and campus networks where short-distance, high-speed connections are required. The backward compatibility with legacy multimode fiber equipment means it integrates smoothly into existing infrastructures, allowing network teams to upgrade bandwidth without replacing all transceivers or ports.

Ideal uses and environments

The Belkin F2F402L0-01M-G is well suited to short runs inside racks or between adjacent cabinets where space is limited and cable management is critical. It works effectively in setups that demand high data throughput, such as virtualized server farms, storage area networks, and media streaming applications. Its durable construction and adherence to industry standards make it a dependable choice for enterprise networks that prioritize uptime and consistent optical performance.
