Fibre optic cable Tecline 7.5m 50/125µm 2 x ST/SC

The Tecline 7.5m 50/125µm 2 x ST/SC fibre optic cable uses OM3 multimode fibre with a 50 µm core diameter to support high-speed data transmission over a 7.5 metre run. The cable is equipped with ST and SC connectors on opposite ends to provide compatibility with a range of networking and storage devices. Designed for full duplex operation, this fibre link is suitable for environments that require low latency and reliable bidirectional data flow, including InfiniBand systems.

Advantages

The OM3 multimode construction enables higher bandwidth and extended reach compared with lower-grade multimode fibres at comparable distances. Having ST and SC connector types increases deployment flexibility by allowing direct connection to equipment with either interface without adapters. Full duplex capability ensures simultaneous transmit and receive channels, reducing protocol overhead and improving effective throughput for supported applications.

Suitable for

• High-speed local area networks (LANs) and data centre links
• InfiniBand interconnects and clustered computing environments
• Storage area networks (SANs) and fiber channel connections
• Equipment racks and server-to-switch cabling where a 7.5 m reach is required

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM3 multimode
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Length: 7.5 metres
• Connector configuration: ST connector on one end, SC connector on the other
• Mode: Multimode full duplex
• Application focus: Data centre and high-speed interconnects

How to use

Inspect connectors for dust or debris before connection and, if available, use a fibre cleaning tool to ensure optimal performance. Align the ST and SC connectors with the corresponding ports and insert until the connectors lock or click into place; the ST connector uses a bayonet-style twist locking, while the SC connector uses a push-pull latch. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends (maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius), excessive tensile stress, and sources of mechanical damage. For removal, depress the SC latch to pull out the SC end and twist-release the ST end to disengage it.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable within standard multimode operating distances for OM3 to maintain signal integrity. Store and handle the fibre by the connector boots rather than pulling on the fibre jacket. For critical links, perform insertion loss and continuity testing after installation and consider strain-relief or cable management solutions in racks to prevent microbending losses.
