Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik LC-SC 50/125µ InfiniBand 1 m Pink

The EFB Elektronik LC-SC 50/125µ InfiniBand fibre optic cable, 1 m in length, uses OM4 multimode fibre with a 50 µm core diameter and provides full duplex connectivity. Designed for short to medium range high-speed links, this pink cable features an LC connector on one end and an SC connector on the other, making it compatible with devices that require mixed connector types. Its construction supports InfiniBand and other multimode optical networks where low loss and high bandwidth are required.

Advantages

The OM4 multimode fibre offers improved bandwidth and longer distance performance compared with lower-grade multimode fibres, resulting in reliable high-data-rate transmission. The LC-SC connector pairing allows flexible integration between equipment with different port types, while the 1 m length keeps signal path losses minimal in rack or cabinet installations. The cable’s colour coding simplifies identification in dense cabling environments.

Suitable for

• InfiniBand interconnects in data centres and high-performance computing environments
• Short-range multimode links between switches, servers and storage units
• Mixed-connector optical runs requiring LC-to-SC interfacing
• Patching and equipment interconnection inside server racks and communication cabinets

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces for contamination and clean with appropriate fibre cleaning tools if necessary before insertion. Insert the LC connector into the LC port and the SC connector into the SC port until a secure connection is achieved; ensure the connectors are correctly aligned to avoid damaging ferrules. Route the cable through cable management paths to prevent sharp bends and mechanical stress, maintaining minimum bend radius recommended for multimode fibre. For testing, verify optical insertion loss and link continuity with suitable test equipment after installation.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a manner that prevents kinks and excessive bending. Use colour-coded patch panels or labels to identify the pink OM4 cable in multi-cable installations. For critical data paths, perform loss and performance testing after installation and periodically during maintenance to ensure the InfiniBand link meets required performance levels.
