Microconnect FIB421015 InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 15 m LC SC Yellow

The Microconnect FIB421015 is a 15 m single-mode fibre optic patch cable with LC and SC connectors and an OS2 fibre (9 µm core). It is intended for enterprise networks, telecom rooms, server farms and cloud storage networks where reliable fibre jumper cables are required. The yellow jacket makes the cable easy to identify in installations, and the cord supports 1G/10G/40G/100G Ethernet links with low attenuation.

Advantages

This single-mode patch cord uses OS2 fibre for long-distance transmission and an LSZH jacket that conforms to common industry standards (IEC, EIA/TIA, Telcordia). The LC and SC terminations provide compatibility with a wide range of switches, transceivers and patch panels. With a 15 m length and lightweight construction, it is convenient for structured cabling runs and rack-to-rack connections.

Suitable for

• Data centres and server racks
• Telecom rooms and central offices
• Cloud storage and enterprise backbone links
• Linking switches, transceivers and patch panels

Key specifications

• Product: Microconnect FIB421015
• Length: 15 m
• Connectors: LC to SC
• Fibre type: OS2 (single mode, 9 µm core)
• Colour: Yellow
• Weight: 0.1 kg

How to use

Inspect connectors and ports for dust or damage before mating. Align the LC and SC connectors with the corresponding ports and insert until the connector latches. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to prevent attenuation increases. For long-distance links verify link budget and use appropriate transceivers for 1G/10G/40G/100G Ethernet as required.

Recommendations

Use this OS2 single-mode LC–SC patch cord for backbone and inter-rack connections up to distances supported by the chosen wavelength: up to 10 km at 1310 nm and up to 40 km at 1550 nm. Store and handle the cable in dry conditions, avoid excessive bending and keep connector endfaces clean to ensure optimal signal performance.
