Fiber optic cable Renkforce RF-5189148 single-mode/multimode 50/125 µm 1×LC connector

Renkforce RF-5189148 single-mode/multimode fiber optic cable with a 50/125 µm core/cladding specification and one LC connector provides a practical solution for optical patching and short-distance links in structured cabling. The cable is intended for installations where a compact LC connector and standard 50/125 µm fiber geometry are required. It is compatible with common networking and telecom equipment that accepts LC terminations and supports reliable, low-loss signal transmission within data centres, server rooms and campus networks.

Advantages

The cable combines a 50/125 µm core/cladding profile with an LC connector to deliver a small-footprint termination with consistent optical alignment and low insertion loss. Its construction supports multimode transmission while remaining compatible with certain single-mode patching scenarios where equipment permits. The LC connector's latch design reduces accidental disconnection and the fiber geometry conforms to widely used multimode standards, enabling straightforward integration into existing structured cabling systems.

Suitable for

• Indoor patch panels and horizontal cabling in data centres
• Server room interconnects between switches, transceivers and patch panels
• Short-reach multimode links in enterprise networks
• Laboratory and test setups requiring LC-terminated fiber

Key specifications

• Fiber type: 50/125 µm (core/cladding) multimode geometry
• Connector: 1 × LC single connector (LC duplex compatible footprint)
• Typical applications: multimode patching and short-distance optical links
• Cable use: indoor structured cabling and patchcord installations

How to use

Insert the LC connector into the corresponding LC socket on the transceiver, patch panel or optical device until it clicks into place, ensuring the connector ferrule and mating sleeve are clean and free of dust. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain, maintaining the manufacturer's recommended bend radius for 50/125 µm fiber. For connections involving different fiber types or connector formats, use appropriate adapters or transceivers to maintain optical compatibility.

Usage recommendations

Before connecting, inspect and, if necessary, clean the LC endface with approved fiber cleaning tools to minimize insertion loss and back reflection. Use cable management to secure the cable and prevent stress on the connector. For critical links, verify optical performance with a power meter or light source to confirm acceptable loss levels.
