Fibre optic cable QOLTEC 54012 — OM2 50 µm, SC–SC connectors, 3 m, orange

QOLTEC 54012 is a 3 m multimode fibre optic patch cable designed for short-distance data links and equipment interconnects. The cable uses OM2 multimode fibre with a 50 µm core diameter and SC connectors on both ends (SC–SC). Its orange jacket and compact 3 m length make it suitable for organised server rooms, switch-to-switch connections and local InfiniBand or Ethernet multimode installations where reliable, low-latency optical transmission is required.

Advantages

The OM2 50 µm multimode fibre provides consistent performance for short-reach links and supports common multimode transceivers. SC duplex connectors offer simple push-pull mating and wide compatibility with patch panels and transceiver modules that accept SC interfaces. The 3 m length balances flexibility and neat cable management in rack and cabinet environments, while the orange jacket helps with quick visual identification of multimode links. The cable’s lightweight construction facilitates easy handling during installation and rearrangement.

Suitable for

• Short-distance data links in server rooms and data centres
• Switch-to-switch interconnects and network patching
• InfiniBand and multimode Ethernet connections
• Rack and cabinet patch panels with SC ports

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM2 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: SC–SC duplex
• Length: 3 m
• Jacket colour: orange
• Weight: 0.54 kg

How to use

Route the QOLTEC 54012 fibre cable between devices or through patch panels, avoiding tight bends and sharp edges that could stress the fibre. Align and insert the SC connectors into the corresponding SC adapter or transceiver until they click into place. Ensure connector endfaces are clean before mating to prevent signal loss; use a fibre inspection tool or cleaning cassette if available. Secure the cable along cable management pathways to reduce strain on connector ends and maintain bend radii appropriate for multimode fibre.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep multimode links within recommended distance limits for OM2 fibre and use compatible multimode transceivers. Clean connector endfaces before each connection, avoid exceeding minimum bend radius, and store the cable coiled without tight loops when not in use. Use the orange jacket as a visual cue to separate multimode infrastructure from single-mode runs.
