Fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik LC-SC 50/125µ InfiniBand 7.5 m

The EFB Elektronik LC-SC 50/125µ InfiniBand 7.5 m fibre optic cable is a duplex multimode link designed for reliable high-speed data transmission in professional networking environments. Using OM4 glass with a 50 µm core diameter, the cable supports demanding short-to-medium distance connections with stable signal integrity. Terminated with an LC connector on one end and an SC connector on the other, this 7.5 m cable is intended for InfiniBand and other multimode optical systems where low insertion loss and consistent performance are required.

Advantages

The OM4 multimode construction delivers higher bandwidth and lower attenuation compared with lower-grade multimode fibres, which helps maintain throughput for 10 GbE, 40 GbE and InfiniBand links. The LC and SC connector combination provides compatibility with a wide range of transceivers and patch panels, while the duplex design enables full-duplex communication. The 7.5 m length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack and device-to-patch-panel cabling without excessive slack.

Suitable for

• InfiniBand interconnects in data centre and HPC environments
• Multimode optical links between switches, routers and servers
• Patching between LC and SC ports in fibre distribution panels
• High-bandwidth short-to-medium distance connections (within buildings or campus networks)

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM4 multimode
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector types: LC (one end) to SC (other end)
• Configuration: duplex, multimode
• Cable length: 7.5 m
• Application: InfiniBand and multimode optical networks

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces for cleanliness before installation and, if necessary, clean with appropriate fibre cleaning tools to avoid increased insertion loss. Route the cable following standard bend-radius and cable management practices to prevent microbending and stress on the fibre. Insert the LC and SC connectors into their corresponding ports until they latch or click into place. Verify link status and signal quality using network diagnostics or optical test equipment after connection.

Recommendations

For best performance, use this OM4 duplex cable within its intended short-to-medium range and pair it with compatible OM4 transceivers or ports. Avoid tight bends and mechanical strain, and store spare cable coiled without sharp kinks. Periodic inspection and cleaning of connector endfaces will help maintain low insertion loss and stable link performance.
