Fibre Optic Cable Alcasa LC/SC 10m

The Alcasa LC/SC 10m fibre optic cable by Good Connections is a multimode OM4 link designed for high-speed data transmission. With a 50 µm core diameter and LC connector on one end and SC connector on the other, this 10-metre cable provides low attenuation and consistent signal integrity across enterprise networks and data centre environments. The cable's construction supports reliable interconnection between switches, transceivers and patch panels where LC-to-SC termination is required.

Advantages

The OM4 multimode fibre offers higher bandwidth and improved modal performance compared to earlier multimode types, enabling better support for 10 GbE and higher-speed links over moderate distances. LC and SC connectors provide a combination of small-form-factor and widely compatible termination styles, ensuring broad interoperability with existing networking equipment. The 10 m length balances reach and manageability for rack-to-rack or equipment-to-equipment connections while maintaining low insertion loss and return loss characteristics typical for quality fibre patch cables.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting network switches, routers and transceivers in server rooms and data centres
• Patch panel to transceiver or equipment links requiring LC-to-SC termination
• High-speed LAN backbones and aggregation links supporting 10 GbE and higher
• Short- to medium-range multimode fibre runs within enterprise cabling infrastructure

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM4 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Length: 10 metres
• Connector A: LC
• Connector B: SC
• Polishing: Duplex compatible (factory-assembled)
• Typical use: Indoor patching and equipment interconnect

How to use

Install the Alcasa LC/SC 10m fibre optic cable by aligning the LC and SC connectors with the corresponding ports on network equipment or patch panels, ensuring connectors are clean and free of dust before mating. Gently insert until a secure click or seating is felt; avoid forcing connectors. Route the cable to prevent sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer's minimum bend radius. For duplex pathways, keep the two fibres paired and labeled to preserve transmit/receive orientation. When disconnecting, depress the connector latch and pull straight to avoid damage.

Usage recommendations

Use of fibre cleaning tools or lint-free wipes with appropriate cleaning solution is recommended before each connection to reduce insertion loss. Avoid tight bends, kinks or crushing forces and store unused cables on reels or in protective loops. Match OM4 transceivers and patch panels for optimal performance and verify link integrity with appropriate fibre test equipment after installation.
