InfiniBand/fibre optic cable QOLTEC 54016 — 3 m, LC to LC, 9 µm core, yellow

QOLTEC 54016 is an InfiniBand/fibre optic patch cable with a 3 m length and LC-to-LC connectors designed for single-mode optical links. The cable uses a 9 µm core diameter optimized for long-distance or high-speed single-mode transmission and is finished with a yellow jacket to simplify identification in racks and patch panels. The cable features an LSZH outer sheath for reduced smoke and no halogen emissions in case of fire, and each unit is individually tested to ensure signal integrity and reliable performance in critical network environments.

Advantages

The LC-to-LC terminations provide compact, industry-standard connectors for dense installations and compatibility with many transceivers and modules. A 9 µm single-mode core supports low attenuation and high bandwidth over longer reaches compared with multimode fibres. The yellow jacket improves visual management in data centres and wiring closets. LSZH construction enhances safety in confined spaces by minimizing toxic fumes in fire situations. Individual unit testing reduces the risk of faulty links during deployment.

Suitable for

• High-speed InfiniBand links between servers and switches
• Data centre patching and rack-to-rack interconnects
• Single-mode optical networks requiring LC terminations
• Environments where low-smoke, zero-halogen cabling is preferred

Key specifications

• Cable length: 3 m
• Connector type: LC to LC
• Core diameter: 9 µm (single-mode)
• Jacket colour: Yellow
• Sheath type: LSZH (low smoke zero halogen)
• Tested: Individually factory tested for signal integrity

How to use

Install the QOLTEC 54016 by aligning the LC connector latches with the LC ports on transceivers, switches or optical modules and insert until the latch clicks. Route the cable through cable management panels or trays to avoid sharp bends; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended by the equipment manufacturer. For InfiniBand or single-mode links, ensure matching transceiver types and link settings on both ends before powering up the network interfaces. When removing the cable, press the LC latch to release the connector gently.

Usage recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, avoid tight bends and abrasive surfaces, keep connector endfaces clean and capped when not in use, and verify link parameters after installation. Use this LC–LC single-mode cable for point-to-point links and patching in data centres, server rooms and telecommunication closets where LSZH safety characteristics and easy visual identification are required.
