Microconnect FIB440005 InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 5 m LC Orange

The Microconnect FIB440005 is a 5 m OM1 multimode fibre optic patch cable with LC connectors on both ends. It has a 62.5/125 µm core/cladding structure, supports full‑duplex transmission and is intended for use in fast Ethernet, gigabit Ethernet and Fiber Channel environments. The cable is orange for easy identification and is built with LSZH jacket material that meets IEC, EIA/TIA or Telcordia standards.

Advantages

This OM1 LC–LC patch cord provides reliable multimode connectivity over short to moderate distances, offers straightforward installation thanks to standard LC terminations, and uses an LSZH jacket to reduce smoke and toxic gas emission in case of fire. The 5 m length balances reach and cable management in racks and telecom rooms, while the orange colour improves visibility in dense cable runs.

Suitable for

• Data centres and server racks
• Telecom rooms and patch panels
• Gigabit Ethernet and fast Ethernet links
• Short‑reach Fiber Channel connections
• Cloud storage and server farm interconnects

How to use

Route the fibre optic cable between LC ports on the required devices or patch panels, avoiding sharp bends and tight radii. Ensure LC connectors are clean before mating to prevent signal loss; use dust caps when connectors are not in use. Insert each LC connector until it clicks into the adapter or port, and secure the cable to cable management hardware to prevent strain on the terminations.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep bend radius above the manufacturer’s minimum, use proper fibre cleaning tools before connecting, and select OM1 multimode only for short‑reach multimode links (typical within data centres and telecom rooms). For longer distances or higher bandwidth requirements consider multimode OM3/OM4 or singlemode alternatives.
