InfiniBand/fibre optic cable METZ CONNECT 151S1EOJO20E 2 m 2x SC 2x LC

The METZ CONNECT 151S1EOJO20E is a 2 m InfiniBand/fibre optic cable with mixed SC and LC terminations designed for high-density networking and data center environments. Constructed with OM4 multimode fibre having a 50 µm core diameter, the cable supports high-speed data transmission and low attenuation over short to medium distances. The combination of two SC and two LC connectors provides flexible interfacing with diverse equipment, allowing connection between InfiniBand switches, storage arrays, transceivers and patch panels.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable delivers consistent multimode performance with OM4-grade glass, enabling higher bandwidth and extended reach compared with lower-grade multimode types. The presence of both SC and LC connectors on a single 2 m assembly reduces the need for additional adapter components and simplifies rack-side cabling. The cable's construction focuses on signal integrity and minimal insertion loss, ensuring reliable operation in professional networking setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting InfiniBand switches and host channel adapters in HPC clusters
• Linking storage systems and SAN equipment in data centers
• Patching between fibre optic transceivers and patch panels
• Short to medium distance multimode fibre links within server rooms and telecom racks

Key specifications

• Cable length: 2 m
• Fibre type: OM4 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector types: 2x SC and 2x LC
• Polarity: duplex connections for parallel data paths
• Typical use case: InfiniBand and multimode fibre optic networks

How to use

Inspect connectors and fibre ends before installation to ensure cleanliness and absence of damage. Align the SC and LC connectors with the corresponding ports on devices, apply gentle pressure until secure, and avoid bending the cable below recommended minimum bend radius. Route the cable through cable management channels or trays to minimize stress and interference. For duplex links, confirm correct polarity and mating of transmit and receive channels to establish the intended data path.

Recommendations

Maintain connector cleanliness by using appropriate cleaning tools and protective caps when the cable is not connected. Avoid sharp bends and excessive tension, and store the cable coiled with a gentle radius. Use this OM4 multimode assembly for short to medium distance high-speed links where LC and SC interfaces are required.
