Fibre optic cable Sacon LSD31100050 5m SC Turquoise

The Sacon LSD31100050 5m SC Turquoise fibre optic cable is an OM3 multimode patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in structured networking environments. With SC connectors on both ends and a 50 µm core diameter, this 5-metre link supports full-duplex communication and is suitable for server rooms, data centers and enterprise network cabling where reliable optical connections are required. The turquoise jacket provides clear visual identification for OM3 multimode links and helps maintain organised cable runs.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable offers low insertion loss and consistent optical performance over the 5 m length, supporting high-bandwidth multimode links. The SC connectors provide a secure push-pull coupling with low back reflection suitable for OM3 multimode transceivers. The 50 µm core diameter makes the cable compatible with a broad range of multimode equipment and transceivers. The distinct turquoise jacket simplifies identification and management within patch panels and cable trays.

Suitable for

• Multimode connections between switches, servers and patch panels
• Data centre short-reach links and rack-to-rack cabling
• High-speed network segments using OM3 multimode transceivers
• Environments where colour-coded fibre management is required

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM3 multimode
• Length: 5 metres
• Connector type: SC to SC
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Mode: Multimode, full duplex
• Jacket colour: Turquoise

How to use

Inspect connector end-faces for cleanliness before installation and clean with appropriate fibre cleaning tools if necessary. Plug each SC connector into the corresponding SC port on network equipment or a patch panel until it clicks securely. Route the cable along designated cable trays or under-floor pathways, avoiding tight bends and sharp edges to maintain the specified bend radius. For full-duplex operation, ensure each end is connected to the correct transmit and receive ports on the linked devices.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable to avoid excessive bending and tensile stress. Use colour-coded labelling and maintain a clean environment for optical connections to preserve signal integrity. For runs longer than 5 metres or for single-mode requirements, select an appropriate fibre type to match link budget and transceiver specifications.
