Microconnect FIB422010P InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 10 m LC SC Violet

The Microconnect FIB422010P is a 10 m fibre optic patch cable with LC and SC connectors, built with 50/125 µm OM4 multimode bend-insensitive fibre. Designed for high-speed networks, this violet cable supports 10G/40G/100G Ethernet links and is suitable for use with 10G SR, 10G LRM and SFP+ transceivers. The cable jacket uses LSZH material and conforms to common industry standards for data centre and enterprise cabling.

Advantages

Bend-insensitive OM4 multimode fibre reduces signal attenuation when the cable is bent or routed tightly, simplifying installation and maintenance. The LC–SC connector combination provides compatibility with a wide range of networking equipment. The 10 m length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack or patch panel connections, while the LSZH jacket lowers smoke emission and toxicity in case of fire.

Suitable for

• 10G Ethernet links using SR or LRM transceivers
• Connections with SFP+ modules
• Data centre patching and horizontal cabling
• Rack-to-rack or equipment-to-patch-panel runs up to 10 m

Key specifications

• Fibre type: 50/125 µm OM4 multimode, bend-insensitive
• Length: 10 m
• Connectors: LC to SC
• Jacket: LSZH
• Colour: Violet
• Compatible: 10G/40G/100G Ethernet, 10G SR/LRM, SFP+

How to use

Route the cable between the two endpoints, avoiding sharp bends and kinks; the bend-insensitive fibre tolerates tighter radii but standard minimum bend radii should still be observed. Plug the LC connector into the LC port and the SC connector into the SC port, ensuring connectors and equipment ports are clean before connection. Secure the cable in cable management trays or tie points to prevent strain on connectors and to maintain fibre performance.

Recommendations

Inspect connector end faces with a fibre inspection tool and clean if necessary before mating; store the cable on a reel or coiled loosely to avoid permanent deformation. Use this OM4 cable for short- to medium-range high-speed links within data centres and enterprise networks.
