Microconnect FIB221010 InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 10 m SC Yellow

The Microconnect FIB221010 SC OS2 10 m Yellow is a single-mode fibre optic patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in enterprise networks, telecom rooms, server farms and cloud storage networks. With OS2 fibre (9 µm core) and SC connectors on both ends, this 10 m yellow cable provides low signal loss and straightforward identification in rack and cabling environments. It supports 1G/10G/40G/100G Ethernet and can carry data up to 10 km at 1310 nm or up to 40 km at 1550 nm. The jacket is LSZH and the cable meets common industry standards (IEC, EIA/TIA or Telcordia) for patch cord use.

Advantages

The single-mode OS2 fibre with a 9 µm core ensures minimal attenuation for long-distance links and stable high-bandwidth performance. SC-to-SC connectors offer reliable, keyed connections that are common in telecom and data centre equipment. The yellow LSZH jacket enables easy visual identification and reduces smoke and toxic gas emission in case of fire, meeting safety requirements for indoor installations.

Suitable for

• Enterprise network backbone and horizontal fibre links
• Telecom rooms and patch panels

How to use

Route the Microconnect SC–SC patch cable between SC ports on transceivers, patch panels or active equipment. Ensure connectors are clean before insertion to avoid performance degradation. Insert each SC connector until it clicks into the adapter or port; secure the cable in cable management to prevent strain on the connectors. For long-distance links, verify transceiver wavelength (1310 nm or 1550 nm) and link budget to match the supported distances.

Recommendations

For best performance, store and handle the cable without sharp bends and keep bend radius above manufacturer recommendations. Clean SC endfaces with suitable fibre cleaning tools before connecting and choose the appropriate transceiver wavelength (1310 nm or 1550 nm) according to required link distance.
