InfiniBand/fibre optic cable Lightwin LDP-50 LC-ST 1.0 1 m Orange

The Lightwin LDP-50 LC-ST 1.0 1 m Orange is a 1-meter multimode fibre optic cable designed for InfiniBand and high-speed network links. It provides LC connector on one end and ST connector on the other, enabling connection between devices or patch panels that use these common interfaces. The cable’s orange jacket offers clear visual identification for structured cabling in data centers and network racks while supporting high-bandwidth, low-latency links typical for HPC and enterprise networking.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable combines compatibility and compact LC form-factor with the established ST connector for flexible interconnection between different equipment types. The multimode construction supports short- to medium-distance high-throughput links with minimal signal loss. The bright orange jacket simplifies cable management and fault tracing in dense installations. The 1 m length reduces excess slack in patching scenarios and helps maintain orderly rack layouts.

Suitable for

• InfiniBand patching between switches, adapters and transceivers
• Short-range multimode fibre links in data centers and server rooms
• High-performance computing clusters requiring low-latency connections
• Network equipment interconnects where LC-to-ST termination is needed
• Structured cabling installations that benefit from color-coded identification

Key specifications

• Cable type: multimode fibre optic
• Connectors: LC (one end) to ST (other end)
• Length: 1.0 meter
• Jacket color: orange for easy identification
• Intended use: high-bandwidth, low-latency short to medium range links
• Shielding/armor: standard unarmored patch cable construction

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces before insertion and clean with appropriate fibre cleaning tools if contamination is present. Align the LC connector with the LC receptacle and push gently until it latches; insert the ST connector into the ST socket and twist or secure per the ST interface mechanism. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius specified for multimode fibre to prevent increased attenuation. Use cable management panels or ties to secure the cable and avoid strain on connectors.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, keep endfaces clean and avoid bending the cable beyond the recommended radius. Use color-coded cables and labeling in dense racks to simplify maintenance. When connecting to transceivers or active equipment, verify module compatibility with multimode fibre and the LC/ST interface to ensure correct link operation.
