Microconnect FIB412003 InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 3 m LC ST Blue

The Microconnect FIB412003 is a 3 m OM3 multimode bend-insensitive fibre optic patch cable with LC and ST connectors. It uses 50/125 µm multimode fibre designed for high-speed links such as 10G SR, 10G LRM and SFP+ transceivers, and is manufactured with LSZH jacket material to meet common industry standards. The blue cable and standard connector combination make it suitable for data centre and enterprise networking installations where compact multimode connections are required.

Advantages

This OM3 50/125 µm multimode cable offers lower attenuation when bent or twisted compared with traditional multimode fibres, improving installation flexibility and reducing signal loss in constrained cable routes. The LC–ST connector pair provides compatibility with equipment using small-form and legacy interfaces, while the LSZH jacket reduces smoke and toxic emissions in the event of fire.

Suitable for

• 10G Ethernet short-range links (10G SR)
• 10G LRM and SFP+ transceiver connections
• 40G/100G multimode aggregation within data centres (where OM3 is specified)
• Patch panels and multimode fibre distribution in enterprise networks

Key specifications

• Cable type: OM3 multimode bend-insensitive fibre (50/125 µm)
• Length: 3 m
• Connectors: LC to ST
• Jacket: LSZH
• Colour: Blue
• Weight: 0.028 kg

How to use

Route the cable between devices ensuring connectors match the required ports (LC to LC adapter or ST port as needed). Clean connectors before mating to minimise insertion loss. Insert each connector until it clicks or seats firmly in the adapter or transceiver. Avoid sharp bends—follow the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for OM3 fibre—and secure the cable to prevent strain on the connector ends.

Recommendations

For reliable 10G performance, use this OM3 fibre for short-range multimode links and in environments where bend-insensitive characteristics are beneficial; store and handle the cable according to standard fibre-optic best practices and inspect connectors periodically for contamination or damage.
