InfiniBand/fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik LC/LC 50/125µ 0.5 m

The EFB Elektronik LC/LC 50/125µ 0.5 m fibre optic cable is a short duplex patch cable designed for high-speed data links in InfiniBand and other multimode optical networks. With a 50/125 µm core/cladding profile and LC connectors on both ends, the cable supports simultaneous bidirectional communication and low insertion loss across typical multimode wavelengths. Its compact 0.5 m length helps maintain neat rack and chassis cabling while minimizing signal attenuation in short-reach interconnects.

Advantages

This LC/LC multimode cable provides reliable full-duplex data transmission with low insertion loss and consistent optical performance. The 50/125 µm core size is compatible with multimode InfiniBand transceivers and other multimode interfaces, offering predictable modal bandwidth for short-reach links. The robust connector ferrules and polished endfaces ensure stable mating and reduced back-reflection, while the short length reduces excess slack and simplifies cable management in dense equipment environments.

Suitable for

• InfiniBand short-reach connections in server and storage clusters
• Patch panels and switch-to-transceiver links in data centers
• High-density rack cabling where space and bend control are important
• Multimode optical link testing and temporary interconnects

Key specifications

• Connector type: LC to LC (duplex)
• Fiber type: Multimode 50/125 µm
• Length: 0.5 m
• Polish/finish: UPC/PC-style polished ferrules (typical for low back-reflection)
• Mode: Full duplex
• Typical applications: InfiniBand and multimode optical networks

How to use

Plug each LC connector into the corresponding LC port of transceivers, switches or patch panels, ensuring correct orientation of the duplex clip to match transmit and receive channels. Check that connectors are clean before mating; use appropriate fiber cleaning tools if dust or contaminants are present. Route the 0.5 m cable to avoid sharp bends near the connector ends and secure it gently to maintain bend radius and prevent strain on the fiber or connector housing.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this multimode LC/LC cable for short-reach InfiniBand links and within data center patching where 50/125 µm fiber is specified. Regularly inspect and clean connector endfaces, avoid exceeding recommended bend radius, and store the cable in protective sleeves when not in use to preserve connector integrity and optical performance.
