Lightwin LDP-09 FC-FC 1.0 InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 1 m Yellow

The Lightwin LDP-09 FC-FC 1.0 InfiniBand Fibre Optic Cable 1 m Yellow is a single-mode OS2 fibre patch cable with FC connectors at both ends. It is 1 metre long and uses a 9 µm core diameter fibre designed for full duplex data transmission in InfiniBand environments. The cable is intended to provide stable, low-loss optical connections between compatible networking devices where single-mode performance and FC terminations are required.

Advantages

This Lightwin fibre optic cable delivers single-mode OS2 performance with a standardized 9 µm core suitable for long-distance, low-attenuation signal transmission. FC-to-FC connectors provide secure threaded terminations that maintain optical alignment and reduce back-reflection in rack-mounted or point-to-point InfiniBand setups. The 1 m length gives a compact, manageable connection for short links while the yellow jacket color aids visual identification in cabling runs.

Suitable for

• InfiniBand host channel adapters (HCA) and switches requiring FC terminations
• Single-mode fibre patch panels and transceiver interconnects
• Point-to-point optical links in data centre racks and equipment cabinets
• Environments needing full duplex single-mode connections with low insertion loss

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OS2 single-mode
• Connector type: FC to FC (both ends)
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Cable length: 1 m
• Cable color: Yellow
• Transmission: Full duplex optical

How to use

Ensure both endpoints and their transceivers or adapter ports are powered down or follow hot-swap procedures recommended by the equipment vendor before connecting. Align and gently screw the FC connectors into the corresponding FC ports until hand-tight to avoid bending the fibre. Route the 1 m cable to prevent tight bends and secure it to prevent strain on the connectors. Verify link status through the connected devices and perform any necessary optical power or link tests to confirm acceptable insertion loss and signal integrity.

Usage recommendations

Store the cable in a dry, dust-free environment when not in use and keep protective dust caps on FC connectors during handling to reduce contamination. Avoid bending the fibre below its minimum bend radius and do not apply tensile loads to the cable during installation. For best results in InfiniBand applications, pair the cable with compatible single-mode transceivers and follow regular cleaning and inspection procedures for connector end faces.
