Microconnect FIB442020 InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 20 m LC Blue

The Microconnect FIB442020 is a 20 m OM3 multimode bend-insensitive fibre optic patch cable with LC connectors on both ends. With a 50/125 µm core/cladding structure and LSZH jacket, it supports full-duplex 10G, 40G and 100G Ethernet links when used with compatible transceivers such as 10G SR, 10G LRM and SFP+ modules. The blue cable and LC–LC termination make it suitable for structured cabling and data centre interconnects.

Advantages

This OM3 multimode cable exhibits reduced attenuation under bending or twisting compared with traditional multimode fibres, easing installation and maintenance in constrained pathways. The 50/125 µm core diameter and OM3 classification provide compatibility with high-speed short-reach transceivers. The LSZH jacket meets common safety standards and minimises smoke and toxic gas emission in case of fire.

Suitable for

• 10G Ethernet short-range links (10G SR)
• Connections using 10G LRM and SFP+ transceivers
• 40G and 100G multimode interconnects in data centres (where OM3 is supported)
• Structured cabling runs and patch panels requiring LC–LC connections

How to use

Install the LC connectors into compatible LC ports on transceivers or patch panels, ensuring correct polarity for duplex links. Route the cable following site bend-radius guidelines, avoiding tight bends and sharp edges. For best performance, use with OM3-compatible transceivers (10G SR, 10G LRM, SFP+ etc.) and verify end-to-end connectivity and optical loss with appropriate test equipment after installation.

Recommendations

Maintain bend radius as specified by the manufacturer, clean LC connector endfaces before mating, and store unused cable coiled without kinks to preserve performance and longevity.
