STARTECH LCLCL5MOM5FIBER OM5 LC duplex fibre optic cable

SKU CH-RP2C-0DCVZ

OM5 duplex patch cable supports 40G and 100G networks with SWDM across 850-953 nm VCSEL wavelengths

  • Supports 40G and 100G networks with SWDM across 850-953 nm
  • Precision ceramic ferrules minimise insertion loss for reliable high-density links
  • UPC-polished LC connectors improve return loss over PC polishing
  • Backward compatible with OM4 and OM3 10G environments
  • LSZH jacket emits low smoke and zero halogen in fire

STARTECH OM5 LC Duplex Patch Cable

This OM5 LC duplex fibre optic patch cable connects network equipment using LC connectors. It is designed for 40G and 100G multimode links in data centres and enterprise installations. The cable suits engineers who need short-wavelength division multiplexing support across 850-953nm VCSEL sources.

Multimode 50/125µm OM5 Fibre Specification

The single specification that decides fit is the 50/125µm OM5 multimode fibre rated for 850-953nm VCSEL and 1300nm LED sources. This cable supports SWDM across the extended wavelength range, enabling 40G and 100G throughput. It is backward compatible with OM4 and OM3 10G networks.

Push-Pull LC Connectors With Ceramic Ferrules

The LC connectors use a push-pull latch and UPC-polished ceramic ferrules that align cores precisely to minimise insertion loss. Installers should verify port density and polarity before routing the LSZH jacketed cable through pathways. The most common issue is mismatched polarity in duplex links, which requires end-to-end verification.

Highlights

  • Supports 40G and 100G networks with SWDM across 850-953 nm
  • Precision ceramic ferrules minimise insertion loss for reliable high-density links
  • UPC-polished LC connectors improve return loss over PC polishing
  • Backward compatible with OM4 and OM3 10G environments
  • LSZH jacket emits low smoke and zero halogen in fire

Questions about this item

How does the OM5 50/125 µm rating translate to real-world 40G and 100G network links?

The cable uses Laser-Optimized Multi-Mode Fiber tuned for 850–953 nm VCSEL sources, enabling SWDM operation that supports 40G and 100G Ethernet over the same duplex pair.

What does the LC duplex UPC polish mean for insertion and return loss in a high-density patch panel?

Precision ceramic ferrules with UPC polishing minimise insertion loss and improve return loss versus older PC polish, maintaining reliable connections in dense rack environments.

Will the LSZH jacket and 50/125 µm core fit standard LC transceivers and cable trays in my rack?

Yes — standard LC duplex connectors mate with any LC SFP/SFP+ port, and the LSZH jacket meets low-smoke, zero-halogen requirements for indoor routing.
