Microconnect FIB221005 InfiniBand/glasvezelkabel 5 m SC geel

The MicroConnect FIB221005 is a 5 m single-mode fibre optic patch cable with SC connectors on both ends and OS2 fibre with a 9 µm core diameter. Designed for network installations, telecom rooms and server racks, it supports full-duplex transmission and is intended for 1G/10G/40G/100G Ethernet links where a yellow, durable patch cord is required.

Advantages

This single-mode SC–SC cable offers low attenuation and stable signal transmission over long distances. Constructed with LSZH jacket material, it meets common industry standards for safety and reduces smoke and toxic gas emission in the event of a fire. The duplex configuration and standardized SC connectors ensure straightforward installation and compatibility with typical fibre patch panels and network equipment.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

Key specifications

How to use

Route the duplex SC–SC patch cable between compatible SC ports on your patch panel or network equipment, ensuring correct polarity for transmit and receive pairs. Insert the SC connectors until they click into place. Avoid tight bends and secure the cable to prevent strain; follow standard fibre-handling practices such as keeping connectors clean and using dust caps when not connected.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

For reliable performance, clean connector endfaces before mating, maintain a minimum bend radius as specified by the cable manufacturer, and store spare patch cords with protective caps to prevent contamination.
