Microconnect FIB841005 InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 5 m SC LC Yellow

The Microconnect FIB841005 is a 5 m single-mode fibre optic patch cable with SC and LC connectors and OS2 fibre. With a 9 µm core diameter and yellow jacket, this cable is designed for high-speed Ethernet links including 1G, 10G, 40G and 100G and for use in enterprise networks, telecom rooms, server farms and cloud storage networks. It supports transmission distances up to 10 km at 1310 nm and up to 40 km at 1550 nm and is built with LSZH sheathing that meets common industry standards (IEC, EIA/TIA, Telcordia).

Advantages

The cable provides low signal attenuation and stable single-mode performance over long distances. Its OS2 fibre and 9 µm core ensure compatibility with high-speed Ethernet equipment while the SC-to-LC connectors offer a reliable, keyed connection. The yellow LSZH jacket improves visibility in structured cabling and reduces smoke and toxic gas emission in the event of fire.

Suitable for

• Enterprise network backbones and horizontal runs
• Telecom rooms and data centre racks
• Server farms and cloud storage interconnects
• High-speed Ethernet links: 1G, 10G, 40G, 100G

How to use

Route the fibre patch cable between the SC and LC ports of compatible equipment or patch panels, ensuring connectors are clean before insertion. Avoid tight bends and secure the cable with appropriate cable management to maintain the minimum bend radius specified by industry practice. Connectors should be aligned and inserted until the latch engages; remove dust caps immediately before connecting and replace them when the cable is disconnected.

Recommendations

Use in indoor structured cabling where LSZH-rated jacket is required. Inspect and clean connector end-faces before each mating, and follow standard fibre handling procedures to avoid microbends or physical damage that could increase attenuation.
