C2G InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 3m LC ST OFNR Turquoise 50µm

This C2G InfiniBand fibre optic cable, model 85542, is a 3 m duplex multimode cable with LC and ST connectors and a 50 µm core diameter. It is designed for high-speed network links and is suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet transceivers such as 10GBase-SR, 10GBase-LRM, SFP+ and QSFP+ devices. The cable jacket is LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), reducing toxic and corrosive gas emission in poorly ventilated or enclosed environments.

Advantages

The cable provides backward compatibility with existing 50/125 µm equipment while offering the bandwidth headroom required for LED and VCSEL light sources and 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. Its LSZH jacket improves safety in sensitive installations. Full-duplex multimode transmission with LC to ST termination supports reliable high-speed data transfer over short to medium distances.

Key specifications

How to use

Inspect connector types on the devices and ensure one end of the cable (LC) matches the intended port and the other end (ST) matches the transceiver or adapter. Clean connectors before installation to prevent signal loss. Insert connectors into corresponding ports until they click or lock, and route the cable to avoid tight bends or crushing. Verify link status on network equipment after connection.

Recommendations

Use this 50 µm multimode LC–ST cable for short-to-medium distance 10 Gigabit and InfiniBand links. For longer-distance or single-mode requirements, choose an appropriate single-mode cable. In confined or poorly ventilated spaces, prefer LSZH-sheathed cables like this model to reduce hazardous emissions.
