Fibre optic cable S/CONN ShiverPeaks 07-500515

The S/CONN ShiverPeaks 07-500515 is a 5 m OM5 fibre optic cable with LC connectors on both ends, designed for full duplex data transmission. With a 50 µm multimode core, this cable is suitable for high-speed short-to-medium range links and for environments where InfiniBand connectivity is required. The cable construction balances flexibility and durability to support repeated handling and rack installations.

Advantages

This OM5 fibre cable provides high bandwidth capacity for multimode networks and supports wavelength-division multiplexing-enabled applications. LC terminations on both ends allow for compact port density and easy insertion into standard transceivers and patch panels. The full duplex configuration delivers simultaneous bidirectional communication, which is essential for low-latency data centre and high-performance computing links. The cable jacket and connector design are intended to offer mechanical protection and consistent optical performance across its length.

Suitable for

• InfiniBand interconnects in data centres and clusters
• High-performance computing (HPC) links and low-latency applications
• Multimode fibre patching between switches, transceivers, and patch panels
• Short-to-medium reach enterprise backbone and server connections

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 m
• Fibre type: OM5 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC
• Transmission mode: Full duplex

How to use

Connect each LC connector to the corresponding LC port on transceivers, switches, or patch panels, ensuring correct orientation for full duplex links. Route the cable through cable management pathways or trays to avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling forces; maintain the manufacturer-recommended minimum bend radius for multimode fibre. Inspect connector endfaces for contamination before mating and use appropriate cleaning tools if necessary to prevent signal degradation. Verify link operation with suitable test equipment after installation.

Recommendations

Store the cable coiled without tight loops and protect connectors with dust caps until installation. For optimal performance in InfiniBand and high-performance environments, pair OM5 multimode fibre with compatible transceivers and follow equipment vendor guidance on multimode reach and wavelength multiplexing features.
