❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

What is the difference between ST and LC connectors?

ST — round bayonet connector with simple attachment; LC — compact connector with latch. Together they provide convenient connectivity for equipment with different ports.

Which should I choose — Simplex or Duplex?

Simplex is used for one-way data transmission, Duplex — for two-way communication. The choice depends on your network requirements.

Which is better: OM2, OM3 or OM4?

OM3 and OM4 fibres support higher speeds and longer distances, especially for 10G, 40G, and 100G networks.

Can I use an ST-LC patch cord at home?

Yes, if your equipment has ST and LC optical ports.

How do I choose the optimal length?

Measure the distance between devices and add 0.5–1 m for convenient cable routing.
