High-speed OM5 patching for zero-slack racks
LC>LC DUPLEX MM 50/125 OM5 2.8MM 0.5M
Description
This 0.5 meter OM5 LC/LC duplex patch cable is designed for high-speed connections at very short distance, where you want the link up fast, the patch field clean, and the next change just as easy as the first.
Short patching removes the usual time-wasters: excess slack, accidental snags, and messy routing that hides labels and blocks access. With a compact link, you can patch, validate, and move to the next port without fighting cable loops. That matters when you’re scaling switches, replacing optics, or doing quick moves/adds/changes in high-density panels.
This cable also supports a practical upgrade mindset. Even when today’s hardware is already fast, your cabling should not become the limiting factor when you move to higher-speed optics later.
If you need a reliable lc fiber patch cable for high-speed rack work, this 0.5 m length keeps your patching disciplined, readable, and efficient.
Benefits
-
WideBand OM5 performance for today and future — designed for SWDM multi wavelength function in the 850–950 nm window, bringing the headroom modern fabrics need and keep backward matching with OM4.
-
It is ready to upgrade to a high speed (40G → 400G) — lining with the links of single & multi wavelength, so you can extent with no need to recabling your short network connection. (Optic dependent.)
-
Very high durability for business use — ≥ 1000 matings with minimal IL change; made for regular repatching in high density panels.
-
The connectors LC/UPC are Plug and play, which are standard in industry and that makes it easy and quick for turn ups and effortless in (moves, adds, and changes).
-
This lc to lc fiber optic cable comes with LSZH jaket that considered safier in case of fire. This kind of jacket construction is known as low smoke and zero halogen that supports the safety requirements in business facilities.
-
It is designed for the installations with high density, and its jacket comes with the green color coded for quick and easy identify and field work patching.
Applications
-
High-density patch panels inside the same rack.
-
Switch-to-switch jumpers with minimal slack.
-
ToR leaf–spine stubs within a cabinet.
-
Short links using a fiber optic cable lc connector between LC cassettes, panels, and optics.
Technical features
-
Length tolerance (0.5 m): +50 mm / –0 mm, keeping the cable controlled while avoiding “just too short” installs.
-
Reliabe standards by the compliance with the (ISO/IEC 11801 1 OM5, IEC 60793 2 10 A1 OM5, and TIA 492AAAF) to ensure the compatibility between the suppliers.
-
Reduced attenuation throughout essential wavelength ranges, so clean and reliable links are assured by the typical values (≤ 2.4 dB/km @ 850 nm, ≤ 1.7 dB/km @ 953 nm, ≤ 0.6 dB/km @ 1300 nm).
-
This cable is ready to use in the rack cabinets rooms as it is designed to use in a temprature of –20 °C to +70 °C and insert pull resistance of (500 cycles < 0.5 dB change), which appropriate the utilize in the data centers.
-
This lc fiber patch cable is proven by testing in hard conditions, where the environmental multiple tests (temperature/humidity cycling, water immersion, dry/damp heat) shown the achieve ≤ 0.10 dB/km changes, confirming consistency in field applications.
-
The cable is designed as compact and manageable form factor, as it is ≈ 3.0 mm duplex build with Heat‑shrink end protection that makes the cable stays clean and air passes (freely flow).
-
Bend insensitive fiber = smoothly cabling, steadier racks — retains low loss even at small radii, with substantiated macrobend act (e.g., 2 turns @ 7.5 mm).
-
Low loss where it counts — insertion loss ≤ 0.3 dB (typ. < 0.2 dB) and return loss ≥ 30 dB (UPC) maintains the optical budgets positively.
-
High bandwidth for dense fabrics — EMB ≥ 4700 MHz·km @ 850 nm and ≥ 2470 MHz·km @ 953 nm to bring stable, high throughput links.
