Dell Multimode LC-LC Fibre Optic Cable

Dell LC-LC Fibre Cable

The Dell LC-LC fibre cable is a genuine OEM multimode fibre cable for connecting Dell servers, switches, and SAN storage arrays via SFP+ and QSFP optical transceivers. It is designed for South African data centre and server room deployments where high-speed optical connectivity is required between racks or equipment within the same facility.

Multimode LC-LC for Short-Range High-Speed Connectivity

The Dell LC-LC fibre cable uses LC duplex connectors on both ends. LC connectors are the standard connector type for SFP+ optical transceivers used in 10GbE networking, 16GbE Fibre Channel SAN connectivity, and 25GbE server networking. Multimode fibre is suitable for connections within a building or between adjacent racks in a data centre. Typical reach is up to 300m for OM3 fibre or 400m for OM4 fibre at 10GbE speeds. This covers the vast majority of intra-data-centre connectivity requirements for South African organisations. No single-mode fibre or long-range optics are needed within most South African server room and data centre environments.

Compatible with Dell Server and SAN Hardware

The Dell LC-LC fibre cable is designed for use with Dell PowerEdge server SFP+ NICs, Dell PowerConnect and Dell Networking switches, and Dell PowerVault and EMC storage arrays. Using genuine Dell cables with Dell optical hardware ensures compatibility with Dell’s cable validation requirements. Some Dell switches and HBAs require validated cables for full functionality and error-free operation. Third-party cables may trigger BIOS or driver warnings on Dell equipment in South African enterprise environments. This can reduce confidence in link health monitoring and affect supportability for the organisation’s IT team.

Data Centre Grade Construction

The Dell LC-LC fibre cable is constructed to data centre grade specifications with precision LC connectors and low-insertion-loss multimode fibre. This ensures reliable optical link establishment and minimal signal loss over the cable length. For full specifications and supported transceiver compatibility, visit the Dell official website.
