Fibre Optic Cable ShiverPeaks BS77811 5m LC SC Yellow

The ShiverPeaks BS77811 5m LC SC Yellow fibre optic cable is designed for high-speed data transmission in networking and telecommunications environments. The cable uses single-mode OS1/OS2 fibre with a 9 µm core diameter and supports full duplex communication through LC and SC connectors. Its 5 metre length and yellow jacket make it suitable for patching between equipment in racks, cabinets and cross-connects where single-mode links are required.

Advantages

This fibre optic patch cable provides single-mode performance with low attenuation characteristics inherent to OS1/OS2 fibres and a core diameter of 9 µm. The combination of LC and SC connectors ensures compatibility with a wide range of transceivers and patch panels. The 5 m length balances reach and manageability in data centres and telecom installations, while the bright yellow outer jacket simplifies identification of single-mode links. The cable is intended for reliable, stable connections and routine patching tasks.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches, routers and media converters in data centres
• Telecommunications cross-connects and distribution panels
• Connecting single-mode transceivers and SFP/GBIC modules
• Workshops and labs where test connections or temporary links are needed

• Fibre type: Single-mode OS1/OS2
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Length: 5 metres
• Connector types: LC to SC (one LC connector, one SC connector)
• Mode: Full duplex
• Jacket colour: Yellow

How to use

Connect the LC end to devices or transceivers with LC ports and the SC end to equipment or patch panels with SC ports, ensuring proper orientation and secure mating until the connectors click or seat. Observe standard optical safety practices: keep connector end faces clean, avoid looking directly into active fibre ends, and use dust caps when the cable is not connected. For insertion and removal, handle connectors by the housing to avoid stress on the fibre and maintain bend radii according to industry recommendations.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep connector end-faces free of dust and oil by cleaning with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before mating. Maintain minimum bend radius and avoid tight bends or kinks in the 5 m cable. Use this single-mode cable where long-distance or low-loss single-mode links are required and match connector types to the ports on your equipment to prevent damage.
