Microconnect FIB442001 InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 1 m LC Blue

The Microconnect FIB442001 is a 1 m OM3 (50/125 µm) multimode fibre optic cable with LC connectors on both ends. It uses bend-insensitive multimode fibre and LSZH jacket material, making it suitable for high-speed links such as 10G SR, 10G LRM and SFP+ transceivers in data centres and enterprise networks. The blue colour provides quick visual identification in cabling racks and patch panels.

Advantages

Bend-insensitive OM3 multimode fibre reduces attenuation when bent or twisted compared with traditional multimode cables, simplifying installation and maintenance in constrained cable routes. The OM3 specification (50/125 µm) is preferred for 10G Ethernet and supports 10G/40G/100G links when used with appropriate transceivers. The LSZH jacket complies with common industry standards (IEC, EIA/TIA, Telcordia) and lowers toxic fume emission in case of fire.

Suitable for

• Connecting 10G SR and 10G LRM transceivers
• SFP+ connections for 10G Ethernet devices
• Patching in data centres, server rooms and telecom cabinets
• Short- to medium-reach multimode fibre links

How to use

Route the LC–LC patch cord between LC-compatible ports on transceivers, switches or patch panels ensuring clean connector endfaces before mating. Use fibre cleaning tools or wipes to remove dust and contaminants. Insert connectors until the latch clicks and avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius to maintain performance. For duplex links, match transmit and receive ports correctly.

Recommendations

Verify transceiver and equipment compatibility with OM3 multimode fibre for the desired link speed. Maintain clean connectors and avoid tight bends; store spare fibre cords coiled loosely. For installations in populated areas or enclosed spaces, LSZH jacketed cables are recommended to reduce hazardous fumes in the event of fire.
