Fibre optic cable S/CONN ShiverPeaks 07-500715 10 m

The ShiverPeaks Fibre optic cable S/CONN 07-500715 10 m is a 10-metre OM5 multimode fibre assembly terminated with LC connectors on both ends and designed for full duplex links. With a 50 µm core diameter, the cable supports high-speed short- to medium-range data transmission and is suitable for environments that require low-latency, high-throughput connections such as data centres and high-performance computing racks. The cable construction and OM5 grading enable wavelength-division multiplexing techniques and maintain signal integrity across typical enterprise and campus backbones.

Advantages

The OM5 multimode fibre provides improved bandwidth performance over legacy multimode grades for short-range multiplexed applications while retaining compatibility with existing LC-terminated ports. Full duplex LC-to-LC termination simplifies connectivity and reduces the need for additional adapters. A 10 m length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack or row-to-row cabling without excessive slack, and the multimode 50 µm core supports common multimode transceivers used in InfiniBand and Ethernet equipment.

Suitable for

• Data centre uplinks and server-to-switch connections
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters and InfiniBand links
• Campus backbone links and short-range wavelength-division multiplexing
• Patch panels and LC port interconnections within racks

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM5 multimode
• Length: 10 metres
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC
• Mode: Full duplex
• Typical applications: Short- to medium-range high-speed links, wavelength-division multiplexing

How to use

Install the cable by inserting the LC connectors into the corresponding LC ports on transceivers, switches or patch panels, ensuring proper alignment of the duplex keying. Route the cable along cable-management paths to avoid tight bends and excessive stress; maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the equipment or fibre manufacturer. Use dust caps when connectors are not mated and clean connector end faces before installation to prevent signal loss caused by contamination. Verify link status and throughput with appropriate diagnostic tools after installation.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid running the fibre alongside high-voltage power cables and protect the cable from physical damage. When deploying in dense rack environments, use labelled patch panels and cable ties or Velcro straps to secure the cable without compressing it. Select compatible multimode transceivers rated for OM5 to take advantage of wavelength-division multiplexing and higher aggregated bandwidth.
