Microconnect FIB440405P InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 5 m LC Violet

The Microconnect FIB440405P is a 5 m OM4 multimode fibre optic patch cord with LC to LC connectors and a 50/125 µm core/cladding. Designed for high-speed networking, this violet LSZH cable supports full-duplex communication and is suitable for 10G/40G/100G Ethernet links and for use with SR, BIDI SR, QSFP+ and SFP+ transceivers.

Advantages

This OM4 patch cord offers a reduced modal dispersion characteristic for extended reach in multimode installations and complies with common industry standards (Telcordia, EIA/TIA, IEC). The LSZH jacket limits smoke and toxic emissions in case of fire, and the LC connectors provide a compact, reliable connection for dense cabling environments. The violet colour and 5 m length make identification and routing straightforward in racks and patch panels.

Suitable for

• 10G/40G/100G Ethernet connections
• QSFP+, SFP+ and SR/BIDI SR transceiver links
• Data centre patching and fibre backbone connections
• High-density network panels and telecommunications racks

How to use

Inspect connectors for debris or damage before installation. Align and insert each LC connector into the corresponding LC port on transceivers, patch panels or switches until a positive click is felt. Use cable management accessories to secure the cable and avoid tight bends; maintain the manufacturer's minimum bend radius to preserve optical performance. For polarity-sensitive links, ensure correct duplex orientation between devices.

Recommendations

Store and handle the OM4 patch cord by the connector boots and avoid touching the fibre endfaces. Clean endfaces with approved fibre cleaning tools before mating. For critical links, test insertion loss and return loss after installation to verify performance.
