STARTECH FIBLCLC2 6.56 ft Multimode 62.5/125 Duplex Fibre Optic Cable LC-LC

Cable type and intended use

This STARTECH FIBLCLC2 is a multimode duplex patch cable built with OM1 62.5/125 fibre and terminated in LC male connectors at both ends. It suits network engineers and installers linking switches, transceivers or patch panels in enterprise LANs and data-centre racks. The 6.56 ft length covers typical rack-to-rack or cabinet-to-patch-panel runs without excess slack.

Build quality and connector implications

The LSZH jacket limits smoke and halogen release during a fire, making the cable compliant for plenum and riser spaces where building codes demand low-smoke materials. Duplex LC ferrules provide a compact, keyed interface that prevents cross-connection and supports high-density patching on modern equipment. Fibre construction eliminates electromagnetic interference, so the link remains stable beside power cables or in electrically noisy plant rooms.

Compatibility checks before ordering

Verify that both endpoints accept LC duplex connectors and are configured for OM1 62.5/125 multimode fibre, as mismatched core sizes or single-mode ports will cause excessive loss. Confirm the 6.56 ft reach satisfies your rack layout without stretching or tight bends that could exceed the cable’s minimum bend radius. Ensure your transceivers or media converters support the intended wavelength and data rate for OM1 fibre.
