Fibre Optic Cable ShiverPeaks S/CONN 3m SC/SC

The ShiverPeaks Fibre Optic Cable S/CONN 3m SC/SC is a 3-metre OM2 multimode fibre cable equipped with SC connectors on both ends and a 50 µm core diameter. Designed for full duplex communication, this cable supports high-speed data transfer and stable optical signals over short to medium distances. It is suitable for structured cabling in racks, patch panels and device interconnects where multimode performance and SC terminations are required.

Advantages

This OM2 fibre cable delivers consistent multimode transmission with a 50 µm core that accommodates common multimode transceivers. SC/SC terminations provide push-pull mating for easy installation and secure connections in patch panels and wall outlets. The 3 m length balances flexibility and reach, reducing the need for additional patching while keeping signal loss low in typical data centre and networking environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, patch panels and servers in data centres
• Short- to medium-range multimode links within buildings
• High-bandwidth applications requiring full duplex optical transmission
• Structured cabling where SC connector format is specified

Key specifications

• Length: 3 metres
• Fibre type: OM2 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: SC to SC (both ends)
• Transmission: full duplex optical

How to use

Route the fibre cable avoiding tight bends and mechanical stress; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode fibre. Align each SC connector with the mating adapter or transceiver port and insert until the latch engages. For patch panel installations, insert into the SC adapter or cassette and secure cable runs with appropriate cable management to prevent strain on the connectors. Verify optical link integrity with an appropriate tester after installation.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a dry environment and protect connector end faces from dust and contamination. Clean connectors with approved fibre cleaning tools before connection and perform end-to-end testing to confirm insertion loss and continuity. Use this OM2 cable for links within its effective multimode range and select singlemode or higher-grade multimode types for longer distances.
