Microconnect FIB412005-4 InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 5 m LC ST Violet

The Microconnect FIB412005-4 is a 5 m OM4 multimode fibre optic patch cord with LC to ST connectors and a 50/125 µm core/cladding. Designed for high-speed and legacy networks, this OM4 cable supports 10G/40G/100G Ethernet links and is suitable for use with 10G SR, 40G BIDI SR, QSFP+, SFP+ transceivers and InfiniBand applications. The cable features a violet LSZH jacket for easy identification and complies with common industry standards.

Advantages

This OM4 patch cord delivers improved bandwidth and lower modal dispersion compared with lower-grade multimode fibres, making it suitable for longer reach multimode links at high data rates. The LC connector provides a compact, widely used termination while the ST connector offers reliable bayonet-style mating; together they allow flexible integration into mixed-connector installations. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and toxic gas in case of fire, and the cable is manufactured to meet Telcordia, EIA/TIA and IEC guidelines.

Suitable for

• 10G SR and 10G Ethernet connections
• 40G BIDI SR and 40G Ethernet (QSFP+) links
• 100G multimode links and compatible transceivers
• InfiniBand and high-bandwidth server/network interconnects
• Environments requiring LSZH-rated cabling

How to use

Route the fibre patch cord between equipment ports ensuring connectors are kept clean and protected until insertion. Remove dust caps from LC and ST connectors, align the connector key or bayonet, and insert until secure. Avoid tight bends and secure the cable to prevent strain; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for multimode fibre. For moves or changes, handle connectors by the boot or ferrule body and inspect endfaces with a fibre inspection tool before reconnecting.

Recommendations

Store and handle the Microconnect FIB412005-4 in a clean environment, keep protective caps on connectors when not in use, and use a fibre inspection and cleaning kit to ensure optimal transmission performance. For permanent installations, follow site-specific cabling standards and maintain proper bend radii and strain relief.
