InfiniBand/fibre optic cable LC SC Pink Goobay 95944

The Goobay 95944 InfiniBand/fibre optic cable is a duplex multimode patch cable with LC-duplex and SC-duplex connectors. It has a 50 µm core diameter and is designed for reliable, high-speed data transmission in offices, industry and computer centres. The pink sheath makes the cable easy to identify in dense cabling environments. Each cable is delivered with a test protocol and features a halogen-free, flame-retardant outer sheath for safer use.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable provides stable multimode transmission over medium distances and supports a range of data rates up to 10 Gbit/s depending on the multimode grade. The combination of LC and SC duplex connectors offers compatibility with common network devices and patch panels. A halogen-free, flame-retardant jacket improves safety in enclosed spaces, and the included test protocol documents the cable’s performance.

Suitable for

• Data centre connections and server racks
• Office network backbone and patch panels
• High-speed links between switches and storage systems
• Environments where cable identification is helpful (pink colour)

When it may not be suitable

This cable is a multimode fibre with a 50 µm core and is intended for short to medium distance links; it is not suitable when single-mode fibre is required for very long-distance or carrier-grade trunking. It also may not be the best choice where different connector types or custom terminations are required.

Key specifications

• Connector types: LC-duplex to SC-duplex
• Fibre type: Multimode, 50 µm core
• Jacket: Halogen-free, flame-retardant
• Included: Test protocol
• Supported transmission ranges (approx.): 100 Mbit/s — OM2/OM3/OM4 up to 500 m; 1 Gbit/s — OM2 up to 500 m, OM3/OM4 up to 1100 m; 10 Gbit/s — OM2 up to 82 m, OM3 up to 300 m, OM4 up to 550 m

How to use

Inspect connectors and dust covers before installation and remove protective covers only when connecting. Plug the LC-duplex and SC-duplex connectors into the corresponding ports on your devices or patch panels, ensuring correct alignment and secure seating. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; follow standard fibre handling practices to prevent contamination or damage. Refer to the included test protocol to verify performance after installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Check connector compatibility (LC and SC) with your equipment
• Confirm multimode (50 µm) fibre is suitable for your distance and bandwidth needs
• Decide if the pink sheath colour is appropriate for your cabling scheme

Usage recommendations

Use this multimode LC–SC patch cable for short to medium-length high-speed links in data centres and office networks, and always handle connectors with care and perform post-installation testing using the supplied test protocol.
