Fibre optic cable QOLTEC 54009 SC–SC 5 m, 9 µm core, yellow

QOLTEC 54009 SC–SC 5 m single‑mode fibre optic cable features a 9 µm core and SC connectors on both ends. The 5 m length and yellow jacket identify it as a single‑mode patch cable suitable for long‑reach data, storage and telecom links. The SC–SC push‑pull coupling ensures stable, low‑loss connections for network links, storage area networks (SANs) and high‑speed interconnects. The cable is individually tested and designed for straightforward installation and handling on high‑speed optical transmission networks.

Advantages

The fibre cable uses a 9 µm single‑mode core for low attenuation over longer distances and a standardized SC connector for reliable mating and ease of use. The yellow LSZH jacket indicates single‑mode fibre and provides an outside fireproof sheath that limits harmful gas emissions in the event of fire. Individual product testing ensures performance consistency, and the compact SC–SC format supports dense patching and simple push‑pull operation.

Suitable for

• Long‑reach optical links in data centres and telecom networks
• Storage area networks (SANs) and fibre channel interconnects
• Patching between switches, transceivers and fibre panels
• High‑speed optical transmission and backbone segments

Key specifications

• Fibre type: single‑mode, 9 µm core
• Connector type: SC on both ends (SC–SC)
• Cable length: 5 m
• Jacket material: LSZH outer sheath (low smoke, zero halogen)
• Cable colour: yellow (single‑mode identification)
• Tested: individual product testing for performance verification

How to use

Route the 5 m SC–SC fibre cable between the two SC ports, ensuring connectors are clean before insertion. Use dust caps until final connection to avoid contamination. Align the SC connectors with the adapters or transceiver ports and insert with a push until the connector latches. Avoid tight bends and maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to prevent signal loss. If relocating or storing, coil the cable loosely and protect connector end faces from dust and mechanical damage.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, clean fibre end faces with an appropriate fibre cleaning tool before each connection and use proper cable management to maintain bend radius. Choose the 5 m length for short patching runs in racks or between nearby equipment; select longer lengths only when necessary to avoid excess slack. The LSZH jacket is recommended where reduced smoke and toxic emissions are required by building codes or safety policies.
