Microconnect FIB551003 InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 3 m LC Green

The Microconnect FIB551003 is a 3 m OM5 multimode fibre optic patch cable with LC connectors on both ends. Designed for modern high-bandwidth networks, this OM5 (WBMMF) cable uses a 50 µm core to support increased data throughput and is suitable for applications such as InfiniBand and other high-speed links. The cable is green and provided as a full-duplex assembly ready for installation in data centre and networking environments.

Advantages

OM5 multimode construction provides improved support for shortwave wavelength division multiplexing and higher bandwidth requirements compared with earlier multimode types. LC-to-LC connectors offer compact, standardized termination for dense patching panels. The 3 m length balances reach and tidy cabling, while the green jacket identifies the OM5 specification for easy management.

Suitable for

• InfiniBand connections
• High-speed server-to-switch links
• Data centre patching and rack interconnects
• Short-reach multimode fibre runs up to 3 m

How to use

Verify that both ends of the LC patch cable match the LC ports on your devices or patch panels. For duplex links, ensure correct polarity when connecting transmit and receive pairs. Route the cable to avoid tight bends (respect minimum bend radius) and secure it within cable management fixtures to prevent stress on connectors. Plug the LC connectors into the appropriate ports until they click into place and confirm link status on your equipment.

Recommendations

Use this OM5 LC–LC cable for short-reach, high-bandwidth connections in data centres and server rooms. Store and install the cable following manufacturer bend-radius guidance, avoid excessive pulling force, and label both ends for easier identification in dense cabling environments.
