Yellow duplex fibre patch cable with LC connectors on both ends

STARTECH

STARTECH LCLCL2MOM5FIBER OM5 LC duplex fibre optic cable

SKU CH-X7CA-SBE72

OM5 duplex LC patch cable supports 40G and 100G networks with SWDM over 850-953nm VCSEL and LSZH jacket

  • Supports 40G and 100G networks with OM5 multimode fibre
  • SWDM over 850-953 nm VCSEL range boosts signal quality
  • Ceramic ferrules and UPC polish minimise insertion loss
  • Backward compatible with OM4 and OM3 10G networks
  • LSZH jacket emits low smoke and zero halogen fumes

STARTECH OM5 LC Duplex Patch Cable

This fibre optic cable connects networking equipment using LC connectors on both ends. It is built for 40G and 100G multimode links in data centres and enterprise environments. The OM5 rating supports shortwave wavelength division multiplexing across 850-953 nm VCSEL sources.

Suits high-density 40G/100G uplinks.

Installers deploying 40G or 100G multimode backbone runs will match the cable's SWDM optimisation and UPC polished ferrules. Networks staying at 10G or below gain no benefit from the extended 850-953 nm window and should select OM3 or OM4 instead.

OM5 50/125 µm fibre with LSZH jacket

The single specification that decides fit is the OM5 50/125 µm laser-optimised multimode fibre rated for 850-953 nm VCSEL transmission. Its LSZH jacket meets low-smoke, zero-halogen requirements for indoor plenum and riser routes.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum network speed this OM5 LC duplex cable supports?

The cable is designed for 40G and 100G network connectivity using SWDM across the 850-953 nm wavelength range.

Does the LSZH jacket affect heat or emissions during continuous operation?

The Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen jacket is flame-retardant and emits minimal smoke and toxic fumes if exposed to extreme heat or fire.

What existing fibre infrastructure is needed to use this patch cord?

It connects to LC duplex ports and is backward compatible with existing OM4 and OM3 50/125 µm multimode networks.
