Fibre optic cable S/CONN ShiverPeaks 77951/3 1m LC SC

The ShiverPeaks S/CONN 77951/3 is a 1 m OM3 fibre optic cable fitted with an LC connector on one end and an SC connector on the other. Designed for full duplex data transmission, this multimode cable has a 50 µm core diameter and is suitable for high-speed links in data centres and networking racks. Its specification targets InfiniBand and other short-reach, high-bandwidth applications where low loss and reliable connectivity are required.

Advantages

This LC–SC OM3 fibre cable provides consistent multimode performance with a 50 µm core that supports high data rates and low attenuation over short to medium distances. The different connector types (LC and SC) offer compatibility with a wide range of networking equipment and patch panels. The 1 m length simplifies rack-to-rack or equipment-to-panel connections while minimising excess cable. The cable is suitable for full duplex operation, enabling simultaneous send and receive channels for efficient link utilisation.

Suitable for

• Short-reach high-bandwidth connections in data centres
• InfiniBand interconnects and switches
• Patching between LC and SC ports in server rooms
• Network equipment requiring OM3 multimode fibre (50 µm core)

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM3 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connectors: LC to SC
• Length: 1 m
• Transmission: full duplex

How to use

Connect the LC end to equipment or patch panels with LC ports and the SC end to devices or panels with SC ports. Ensure connector endfaces are clean before mating to minimise insertion loss and back reflections. Route the cable along existing cable management paths, avoiding sharp bends and excessive pulling forces; follow standard bend radius recommendations for multimode fibre. For best performance, label both ends to indicate link endpoints and verify the connection using appropriate link test equipment or network diagnostics.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment and use dust caps on unused connectors. Use OM3-rated short-reach transceivers and compatible patch panels for optimal results. If deploying in a high-density rack, plan cable paths to prevent strain and maintain the specified bend radius.
