Fibre Optic Cable Lightwin LDP-50 SC-ST 10.0 10 m Orange

The Lightwin LDP-50 SC-ST 10.0 10 m Orange is a single cable intended for high-speed fibre optic connectivity. Designed with SC to ST connectors and a 10.0 mm nominal jacket diameter, this 10-metre orange cable provides a clearly visible link for structured cabling and equipment interconnections. It is built for low insertion loss and stable signal transmission, suitable for InfiniBand and other high-performance networking environments where consistent optical performance is required.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable offers standardized SC and ST terminations that facilitate quick mating with compatible ports and patch panels. The bright orange jacket aids rapid identification within multi-cable bundles and racks, reducing installation time. The cable construction minimizes attenuation and supports reliable data throughput over the 10 m span, ensuring predictable optical performance in data centre and telecom installations.

Suitable for

• InfiniBand connections between switches, servers and storage
• Short-run patching in data centres and server rooms
• Connections where SC to ST termination is required
• Environments requiring easily identifiable cabling for maintenance

Key specifications

• Cable length: 10 m
• Connector types: SC (one end) to ST (other end)
• Jacket color: orange for visual identification
• Nominal jacket diameter: 10.0 mm
• Designed for low insertion loss and stable optical transmission

How to use

Inspect connector end faces before connection and clean if necessary using appropriate fibre cleaning tools to avoid contamination. Align the SC and ST connectors with their respective ports and engage gently until the connectors lock in place; the SC connector will snap into an adapter while the ST connector uses a bayonet twist. Avoid sharp bends or excessive pulling on the cable jacket during routing. When removing the cable, depress or unlock the connector mechanisms prior to withdrawal to prevent damage.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable without sharp bends; maintain bend radii recommended for fibre optic cables. Use dust caps when connectors are not mated and perform regular cleaning of connector end faces to preserve signal quality. For fixed installations, secure the cable to prevent strain on connector terminations and avoid exposure to mechanical stress or fluids.
