Tripp Lite 10 ft Duplex 50/125 Patch Cable

This duplex multimode fibre patch cable connects equipment using SC male and LC male connectors. It is built with 50/125 micron glass fibre and an orange PVC jacket. The cable suits gigabit and 10Gbps fibre channel or Ethernet links in data centres or campus networks. Installers who need a 3 metre crossover between patch panels and switches will find it ready to use.

Passive cable thermals and power

As a passive glass fibre assembly the cable generates no heat and draws no power during operation. There are no active components or fans to create noise. Signal attenuation is specified at 3.5 dB/km maximum at 850 nm and 1.0 dB/km maximum at 1300 nm. Insertion loss is tested on every connector at 0.2 dB typical.

Factory tested connectors and headroom

Each connector receives individual insertion loss testing with results provided alongside the cable. Bevelled ferrule ends simplify plug insertion and reduce mating friction. Bandwidth ratings of 220 MHz·km at 850 nm and 600 MHz·km at 1300 nm provide headroom for future speed upgrades. Backward compatibility with 62.5 micron fibre allows integration into legacy multimode plants.

Questions about this item

How do I install the SC to LC duplex cable and which step do people often get wrong?

Connect the SC male ends to your SC equipment ports and the LC male ends to the LC ports, making sure each duplex pair keeps transmit matched to receive; the common mistake is crossing the two fibres so the link stays dark.

What maintenance will the 50/125 multimode cable need later?

Inspect and clean the SC and LC ferrules with a fibre scope and lint-free wipes whenever you disconnect; the acrylate primary coating and PVC secondary jacket require no other upkeep.

What limit appears first on a sustained 10 Gbps run over this 10 ft patch cord?

At 850 nm the 220 MHz·km bandwidth allows roughly 300 m, so the 3 m length is not the bottleneck; the practical ceiling is the 0.2 dB typical insertion loss per connector pair.
