Microconnect FIB442003 InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 3 m LC Blue

The Microconnect FIB442003 is a 3 m OM3 multimode fibre optic patch cable with LC connectors on both ends and a 50/125 µm core/cladding construction. The cable is bend-insensitive and uses LSZH jacket material, reducing attenuation when bent or twisted and facilitating efficient installation and maintenance. It is designed to support high-speed links such as 10G SR, 10G LRM and SFP+ transceivers for 10G/40G/100G Ethernet and InfiniBand applications.

Advantages

This OM3 50/125 µm multimode cable offers lower bend loss than traditional multimode fibres, a standard LC-to-LC termination for duplex connections, and a 3 m length that is suitable for rack-to-rack and equipment-to-equipment links. The LSZH jacket conforms to industry standards (IEC, EIA/TIA, or Telcordia), providing reduced smoke and toxicity in case of fire and compatibility with standard data centre deployments.

Suitable for

• 10G SR and 10G LRM Ethernet connections
• SFP+ transceivers and other short-reach optics
• 40G/100G aggregated links using parallel multimode setups
• InfiniBand and high-speed server or switch interconnects

Key specifications

• Cable type: OM3 multimode, bend-insensitive
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector type: LC — LC (duplex)
• Length: 3 m
• Jacket: LSZH
• Colour: Blue
• Weight: 0.04 kg
• Standards: IEC, EIA/TIA or Telcordia compliant

How to use

Striped and terminated with LC connectors, the cable is plug-and-play: insert each LC connector into matching LC ports on transceivers, switches or patch panels ensuring correct polarity for duplex operation. Route the cable avoiding tight bends below the manufacturer’s bend radius and secure with cable management accessories to prevent excessive strain.

Recommendations

Use this OM3 LC–LC 3 m patch cord for short-reach, high-bandwidth links within racks and across adjacent equipment. For longer distances or single-mode requirements, select an appropriate fibre type. Maintain bend radii and avoid sharp kinks to preserve signal performance.
