Microconnect FIB442002-2 InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 2 m LC Orange

The Microconnect FIB442002-2 is a 2 m OM2 multimode fibre optic patch cable with LC connectors on both ends and an orange LSZH jacket. With a 50 µm core diameter and full-duplex LC–LC termination, this cable is designed for reliable short- to medium-range data transmission in data centers, server rooms and enterprise networks. The cable is optically tested for insertion loss and manufactured to industry standards (IEC, EIA/TIA or Telcordia) to ensure consistent performance.

Advantages

The OM2 fibre offers a cost-effective solution for multimode network links where 50/125 µm performance is sufficient. The LC connectors provide compact, duplex connections suitable for high-density patch panels. LSZH jacket reduces smoke and toxic emissions in case of fire, making the cable suitable for use in indoor installations such as telecom rooms and cloud storage facilities. Optical insertion loss testing verifies quality and helps ensure predictable link budgets.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Interconnects in data centres and server farms
• Enterprise network backbone and horizontal cabling
• Telecom rooms and patch panels
• Short- to medium-distance multimode links (OM2)

How to use

Connect one LC connector to the transmitting port and the other LC connector to the receiving port or a duplex patch panel. Ensure connectors are clean before insertion to minimise insertion loss; use appropriate dust caps when the cable is not in use. Route the cable without sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for multimode fibre to preserve optical performance.

Recommendations

For reliable links, inspect and clean LC endfaces before installation, label cables by colour or length for easier identification, and avoid squeezing or tightly bundling the cable. Use OM2 for multimode applications up to the distances supported by OM2 specifications; for longer runs consider higher-grade multimode (OM3/OM4) or singlemode fibre.
