Microconnect FIB884005 InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 5 m SC Yellow

The Microconnect FIB884005 is a 5 m single‑mode fibre optic patch cable with SC to SC connectors and OS2 fibre, designed for high‑speed data transmission in enterprise and carrier networks. Its 9 µm core diameter and single‑mode design minimise attenuation for long‑distance links. The cable is yellow for easy identification and organisation in racks and cabling closets.

Advantages

This SC to SC OS2 fibre cable supports 1G/10G/40G/100G Ethernet applications and is suitable for InfiniBand and other high‑speed network connections. It can transmit data up to 10 km at 1310 nm and up to 40 km at 1550 nm. The cable uses LSZH jacket material and is manufactured to meet common industry standards, providing low smoke and halogen characteristics for safer installation in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Data centres and server farms
• Telecom rooms and wiring closets
• Enterprise networks and backbone links
• Cloud storage and high‑speed computing connections

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Single‑mode OS2
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Connectors: SC to SC
• Cable length: 5 m
• Jacket material: LSZH (low smoke zero halogen)
• Colour: Yellow
• Typical transmission reach: up to 10 km at 1310 nm; up to 40 km at 1550 nm

How to use

Connect one SC connector to the transmitting port and the other SC connector to the receiving port of compatible equipment. Ensure connectors and ports are clean before mating to avoid signal loss from contamination. Route the cable without sharp bends and secure it in cable management hardware to prevent strain on connectors. Verify link status and perform optical loss tests if required.

Recommendations

Use in indoor network environments where LSZH cable jackets are required. Clean fibre endfaces with appropriate tools before installation and avoid bending below the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to maintain optical performance.
