Microconnect FIB422003 InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 3 m LC SC Blue

The Microconnect FIB422003 is a 3 m duplex fibre optic patch cable with LC connector on one end and SC connector on the other. It uses 50/125 µm OM3 multimode bend-insensitive fibre that supports high-speed transmission for 10G, 40G and 100G Ethernet links and is commonly used with 10G SR, 10G LRM and SFP+ transceivers. The cable is LSZH-rated and suitable for data centre and network installations where reduced signal loss and improved handling during bends are required.

Advantages

OM3 50/125 µm multimode construction provides lower attenuation when bent or twisted compared with traditional multimode fibres, improving installation flexibility and reducing maintenance issues. The LC–SC full-duplex connector arrangement ensures compatibility with a wide range of transceivers and patch panels. LSZH jacket reduces smoke and toxic emissions in case of fire and the 3 m length and blue jacket allow easy identification in structured cabling environments.

Suitable for

• 10G Ethernet connections using SR or LRM optics
• Connections with SFP+ transceivers and compatible network equipment
• Data centre patching and rack-to-rack links
• High-density network installations requiring multimode fibre

How to use

Ensure compatible transceivers or ports (LC and SC) are powered down or inactive before connecting. Align each connector with the matching port and insert gently until it clicks or seats. For duplex links, maintain correct polarity between transmit and receive channels. Avoid tight bends and secure the cable with appropriate cable management to prevent excessive stress on the connectors and fibre.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use OM3-rated transceivers and maintain minimum bend radius as specified by the manufacturer; store and handle the cable with protective dust caps on connectors when not in use.
