Fibre optic cable Synergy 21 S216754 0.5m 2x LC 2x SC

The Synergy 21 S216754 is a 0.5 m OM3 multimode fibre optic cable with two LC connectors on one end and two SC connectors on the other. With a 50 µm core diameter designed for multimode transmission, this full-duplex patch cable provides high-speed data transfer and stable optical links for short- to medium-range network connections. The compact LC connectors and standard SC interfaces make it compatible with a wide range of active equipment and patch panels commonly used in data centres, telecom racks and enterprise networks.

Advantages

This OM3 fibre cable delivers consistent optical performance for multimode applications, supporting high bandwidth and low attenuation over its rated distance. The combination of LC and SC connector types enables flexible integration between modern transceivers and legacy equipment without additional adapters. Its short 0.5 m length reduces excess slack in patching environments, improving cable management and airflow in densely populated racks.

Suitable for

• Connecting transceivers and switches with LC ports to devices or panels with SC ports
• Patch panel to switch connections in data centres and server rooms
• Short-reach multimode links for storage area networks (SAN) and high-speed Ethernet
• Lab and test setups requiring reliable, short-length fibre connections

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM3 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector configuration: 2x LC to 2x SC
• Transmission: full duplex

How to use

Insert the LC connectors into the LC ports of the transceivers or network devices and the SC connectors into the corresponding SC sockets on the target equipment or patch panels. Ensure connectors are clean and free of dust before mating; use a fibre cleaning tool if required. Route the 0.5 m cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain, maintaining the fibre minimum bend radius. Verify link status on network equipment and perform optical power or continuity tests if precise validation is needed.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable by the connector boots and avoid touching the ferrules. Use dust caps on unused connectors and avoid tight bends to preserve optical performance. For installations in high-density racks, choose the 0.5 m length to minimise slack and improve airflow; when connecting over longer distances, select an appropriate OM3 cable length or singlemode alternative depending on system requirements.
