20 metre OM5 LC/LC duplex patch cable

This 20 metre OM5 LC to LC multimode duplex fibre patch cable connects network equipment in 40G and 100G environments. It uses laser-optimised 50/125 µm fibre and supports SWDM across the 850 to 953 nm VCSEL wavelength range. Ceramic ferrules with UPC polish provide precise alignment and low insertion loss. The LSZH jacket limits smoke and halogen emissions in fire conditions.

Suited for high-density 40G and 100G links

Network engineers extending or upgrading OM5, OM4 or OM3 backbone runs will find this cable backward compatible with legacy 10G infrastructure. It is not intended for single-mode installations, outdoor burial or distances beyond the OM5 multimode reach. Buyers needing armoured cable, MPO connectors or single-mode performance should select a different product.

LSZH jacket and UPC-polished ceramic ferrules

The low-smoke zero-halogen jacket reduces toxic fume release in enclosed rack spaces. UPC polishing on the LC ferrules improves return loss compared with older PC finishes, helping maintain signal integrity in dense patch panels. These attributes support reliable operation in commercial switching environments without adding specialised tools or software.

Questions about this item

What network equipment must already have LC duplex ports to connect this 20 m OM5 patch cable?

Switches, transceivers or patch panels with LC duplex interfaces that accept 50/125 µm multimode fibre for 40G or 100G links.

Will this OM5 cable work with the OM4 and OM3 10G fibre already installed in our rack?

Yes, the 50/125 µm OM5 cable is backward compatible with OM4 and OM3 10G networks for a reliable legacy connection.

How can I verify the cable is performing correctly after installation?

Check that insertion loss is minimal and return loss is improved by the UPC polished LC ferrules when tested at 850-953 nm VCSEL or 1300 nm LED wavelengths.
