Equip 255908 InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 30 m LC LC/APC Yellow

The Equip 255908 30 m LC LC/APC Yellow fibre optic cable is a single-mode OS2 patch cable with a 9 µm core diameter designed for high-speed, long-distance optical data transmission. This 30-metre cable features LC connectors on both ends, one or both with APC polishing as indicated by LC/APC, and comes in a yellow jacket for easy identification in racks and cabling runs. The cable is intended for installations where low attenuation and reliable signal integrity are required, such as data centers, telecom rooms and structured network backbones.

Advantages

The Equip 255908 offers low insertion loss and low back reflection typical of OS2 single-mode fibre, supporting long-reach links and high-bandwidth applications. The 9 µm core diameter conforms to single-mode standards, ensuring compatibility with common optical transceivers and passive components. The yellow outer jacket provides visual distinction for single-mode cabling and the LC connector format supports high-density panel installations. The factory-terminated connectors provide a ready-to-install solution that reduces on-site termination work.

Suitable for

• Data center backbone and inter-rack connections
• Telecommunications links and central office equipment
• Fiber patch panels, optical distribution frames and network closets
• Long-distance single-mode connections and point-to-point links

How to use

Route the 30 m LC LC/APC fibre cable along planned cable trays or within patching areas, avoiding tight bends and sharp kinks. Insert the LC connectors into matching LC ports or adapters, ensuring correct APC mating where applicable by aligning the keyed housings and seating the connectors until they click. Maintain connector cleanliness by inspecting endfaces and using approved fibre cleaning tools as needed before connection. Verify signal performance using appropriate optical power meters or transceivers after installation.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable following standard single-mode fibre practices: avoid excessive tensile load, respect the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius, and keep connectors protected with dust caps when not in use. Use this Equip 255908 30 m LC LC/APC Yellow cable for long-reach single-mode links and ensure connector types match the network equipment to prevent insertion loss or return loss issues.
