Soundcraft 5m 50/125 multimode optical fibre with "Fibrecast" connectors - for local Stagebox use

Recommended 5 m Multimode Optical Fibre Options (50/125 µm)

These 5-meter multimode optical fibre patch cables are suitable for MADI audio over fibre in professional Soundcraft systems, including Vi and Si Series consoles, optical MADI cards, Local Racks, and stageboxes.

Recommended Cable Types

• 5 m LC UPC to LC UPC Duplex Multimode Fibre (50/125):
  A standard duplex multimode patch cable for equipment with LC optical ports, offering low loss and reliable digital audio transmission.

• 5 m Switchable Uniboot LC UPC Duplex OM4 Multimode Fibre:
  Higher-performance OM4-rated cable with a compact uniboot design for improved rack management and cleaner routing.

• 5 m LC UPC to SC UPC Duplex Multimode Fibre:
  Ideal for systems where LC-equipped devices connect to SC-based optical MADI interfaces (common on many Soundcraft optical cards).

• 5 m LC UPC to SC UPC Duplex Multimode Fibre (OM3):
  OM3-classified multimode fibre providing excellent performance for pro-audio optical links and MADI networks.

About Multimode Fibre (50/125 µm)

50/125 µm multimode fibre is the standard optical format used in many Soundcraft optical MADI stageboxes and Local Rack systems, supporting short-to-medium distance runs with high reliability and low signal loss.

• Connector Types: Soundcraft optical interfaces commonly use SC duplex connectors, while some third-party or rack devices use LC. Choose the correct termination or use optical adapters as needed.

• Soundcraft Reference Cable: A comparable factory cable is Soundcraft RZ2709, a 5 m multimode optical fibre with Fibrecast connectors designed for local stagebox use.

Typical Applications

• Linking optical MADI ports between a console, Local Rack, and remote stagebox.

• Carrying high-channel-count digital audio (up to 64×64 MADI channels) with minimal latency.

• Environments where electrical isolation, noise immunity, and compact cabling are required.

Benefits

Provides stable, interference-free digital audio transport in professional live sound, broadcast, theater, and installation systems, especially where copper Cat5 cabling is not ideal.
