Fibre Optic Cable S/CONN ShiverPeaks 07-530115 0.5m

The ShiverPeaks Fibre Optic Cable S/CONN 07-530115 0.5m is a 0.5 metre OM5 multimode fibre patch cable with LC and SC connectors designed for short-distance, high-bandwidth links. The cable uses a 50 µm core multimode fibre and supports full duplex transmission, making it suitable for interconnecting switches, transceivers and patch panels in data centres and enterprise networks. Constructed to provide stable optical performance and low insertion loss, this fibre optic cable is intended for environments where reliable, high-speed data transfer is required.

Advantages

The OM5 multimode construction with a 50 µm core diameter offers compatibility with standard multimode transceivers and allows for efficient multimode transmission. The LC to SC connector configuration provides flexibility when connecting equipment that uses different connector types. At 0.5 m length the cable reduces excess slack and signal attenuation in tightly spaced server racks and patch cabinets. The cable supports full duplex communication for balanced, simultaneous two-way data transfer and is manufactured to minimise insertion loss and return loss for improved link stability.

Suitable for

• Short-reach connections between network switches and servers in data centres
• Patching between fibre panels and transceivers in telecommunication racks
• Connections in enterprise LANs and server rooms where OM5 multimode is specified
• High-bandwidth links requiring full duplex multimode transmission

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM5 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connectors: LC to SC
• Length: 0.5 m
• Transmission mode: Full duplex

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces before installation and, if necessary, clean with an appropriate fibre optic cleaning tool to ensure low insertion loss. Insert the LC connector into the device or transceiver port and the SC connector into the patch panel or corresponding equipment port, making sure connectors are fully engaged and latched. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the cable bend radius recommended for multimode fibre. For best performance, avoid excessive length and unnecessary patching that can introduce additional loss.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in dry conditions and avoid exposure to prolonged sunlight or extreme temperatures. Use dust caps when connectors are not in use, and perform periodic inspection and cleaning of endfaces to maintain optimal link quality.
