InfiniBand/fibre optic cable EFB Elektronik SC/SC 50/125µ 3m

The EFB Elektronik SC/SC 50/125µ 3m fibre optic cable is designed for high-speed multimode data transmission between networking equipment. Featuring SC male connectors on both ends and a 3-metre length, this cable supports short-range links commonly used in racks, patch panels and equipment cabinets. The 50/125 µm core/cladding specification indicates multimode fiber optimized for gigabit Ethernet and similar LAN applications where controlled bandwidth and low attenuation are required.

Advantages

This SC/SC 50/125µ fibre cable provides consistent signal integrity across the 3 m span thanks to factory-terminated connectors and standardized multimode geometry. The robust jacket and strain-relief at each connector reduce mechanical stress during installation and maintenance. Its SC push-pull connectors ensure a secure connection and simple insertion and removal, while the multimode specification enables cost-effective high-speed links within data centers and enterprise networks.

Suitable for

• Short-distance multimode links in data centers and server rooms
• Patching between switches, routers and patch panels
• Connections inside network cabinets and equipment racks
• LAN backbone segments and high-density patching environments

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode 50/125 µm (core/cladding)
• Connector type: SC to SC (fixed, push-pull)
• Length: 3 metres
• Polish: Standard multimode end-face polish suitable for general networking
• Jacket: Durable protective outer jacket with strain relief at connectors
• Intended use: Short-range Ethernet and multimode optical links

How to use

Inspect connector end faces for contamination before installation and clean with a suitable fiber-cleaning tool if necessary. Align and insert each SC connector into the corresponding SC adapter or transceiver until it clicks into place; avoid forcing the connector. Route the cable to minimize tight bends and avoid kinks — maintain bend radii consistent with multimode fiber recommendations. When removing the cable, depress the SC latch and pull straight to disengage the connector.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, keep connector end faces clean and store the cable coiled without sharp bends. Use appropriate dust caps when connectors are not mated and follow your equipment manufacturer’s transceiver handling guidelines. For installations requiring longer runs or single-mode performance, select a fiber cable with appropriate core/cladding and connector types.
