Description

StarTech A50FBLCSC5 Multimode Fiber Optic Cable

Overview

The StarTech A50FBLCSC5 is a 5-meter (16.4 ft) duplex fiber optic patch cable designed for high-speed network connections. It features OM3 multimode fiber, supporting data rates up to 100Gbps, making it suitable for demanding applications like 10/40/100Gb Ethernet, fiber channel, and high-bandwidth surveillance systems. The cable's aqua jacket indicates its OM3 classification, and the Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) rating ensures it meets safety standards for use in plenum spaces or environments where fire safety is critical. This cable directly addresses the need for reliable, high-throughput data transmission between network devices.

Compatibility

This cable is designed for use with network equipment featuring LC Duplex and SC Duplex fiber optic ports. It is compatible with a wide range of network switches, servers, transceivers (like SFP+, QSFP+, QSFP28), and network interface cards that utilize OM3 multimode fiber. Specific applications include connecting network switches in data centers, linking servers to storage area networks (SANs), and extending network connections for high-definition video surveillance systems requiring substantial bandwidth.

Installation Notes

The cable has a static bend radius of 1.2 inches (3cm) and a dynamic bend radius of 2.4 inches (6cm). Avoid exceeding these limits during installation to prevent damage to the fiber core and maintain signal integrity. The operating and storage temperature range is -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F), with a humidity range of 0~90% RH. The cable's outer diameter is 3mm (0.1 in).
