Description
🛠 Enhanced Engineering: The Metal Stop Advantage
The “Metal Stop” version is specifically requested by network integrators who require a more robust termination than standard all-plastic designs can offer.
-
Integrated Metal Backbone: The internal metal stop acts as a rigid bulkhead within the connector body, absorbing axial tension and preventing the ceramic ferrule from shifting under cable weight.
-
Precision Multimode Ferrule: Utilizes a high-quality Zirconia ceramic ferrule with a specifically bored inner diameter to ensure perfect alignment for OM1, OM2, OM3, or OM4 fiber cores.
-
Superior Crimp Retention: The metal stop provides a solid surface for the crimp ring to compress against, locking the Aramid yarn (Kevlar) into a permanent, high-tensile anchor.
-
Standardized Color Coding: Features the industry-standard Beige (OM1/2) or Aqua (OM3/4) housing for rapid identification and error-free network maintenance.

💡 Industrial Sourcing & FAQ
Q: Why choose the “Metal Stop” version for multimode networks? A: In data center environments with high-density cabling, patch cords are often subjected to pulling and tangling. The Metal Stop ensures that even if the 3.0mm jacket is tugged, the physical contact between the ferrules remains constant, preventing signal drops or intermittent packet loss.
Q: Is this connector compatible with OM3 and OM4 10G/40G networks? A: Absolutely. While the mechanical body is the same, the precision Zirconia ferrule is designed to handle the tighter tolerances required for high-speed laser-optimized multimode fibers.
Q: Does the kit include the boot for both 2.0mm and 3.0mm cables? A: Yes. Each bulk set is supplied with a modular boot designed to provide professional strain relief for either 2.0mm or 3.0mm jackets, depending on your specific pigtail or patch cord requirement.
Q: Can these be field-terminated? A: Yes, these are designed for factory-style crimp termination. They are ideal for creating custom-length cables in the field using standard SC crimping tools and epoxy/polishing kits.
