PATCHBOX InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 2.5 m LC SC OM4

PATCHBOX InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 2.5 m LC SC OM4 (CONE46OM412) is a 2.5 metre multimode fibre optic patch cable with LC connector on one end and SC connector on the other. Manufactured to OM4 specifications, this cable is intended for high-speed data links and InfiniBand environments where low loss and high bandwidth are required. The cable is compatible with PATCHBOX cassette installations and can be used in modular rack systems supporting fibre optic modules.

Advantages

The OM4-rated fibre offers higher bandwidth and longer reach compared with lower OM classes, improving signal integrity for 10G/25G and higher-speed links. Using LC and SC connectors provides compatibility with a wide range of transceivers and ports. The 2.5 m length gives a balance between routing flexibility and manageable slack within racks or patchboxes. The cable is suitable for quick cassette swaps in modular PATCHBOX systems.

Suitable for

• InfiniBand high-speed interconnects
• Data centre fibre patching and spine/leaf connections
• Patching in PATCHBOX cassettes and fibre modules
• Short- to medium-reach multimode links requiring OM4 performance

How to use

Route the cable between the source and destination ports, ensuring minimum bend radius is respected to avoid increased attenuation. Insert the LC connector into the corresponding LC port and the SC connector into the SC port until each connector latches. When used with PATCHBOX cassettes, feed the cable through the cassette opening and secure it according to the cassette’s cable management features. Label both ends if required for easier identification during maintenance.

Recommendations

Handle the fibre connectors by their boot or housing, keep protective caps on unused connectors, and avoid tight bends. For best performance, use OM4-rated transceivers and ensure connectors are clean before mating.
