OM5 LC-LC Fiber Patch Cable 35M Duplex 50/125

More and more business networks are running into the limits of their existing fiber infrastructure.

This OM5 patch cable solves that with wideband multimode fiber: a 50/125 fiber that uses SWDM to carry several wavelengths at once over a single fiber pair.

The same duplex link scales to 40 and 100 Gbps, while the LC-LC connectors fit the multimode equipment you already run.

Benefits

• Wideband 50/125 fiber, optimized across the full 850 to 950 nm wavelength range.
• Works alongside existing OM4 equipment and links, so you migrate at your own pace.
• Low insertion loss: typically 0.2 dB and 0.3 dB maximum, leaving a generous loss budget per link.
• Bend-insensitive fiber that stays stable through tight turns in crowded cable trays.
• Lime green LSZH jacket (low smoke and halogen-free in case of fire), instantly recognizable as OM5 in the rack.

Applications

• Connections between the main distributor and floor or zone distributors within a commercial building.
• Links between patch panels in network cabinets spread across the same floor.
• Switch uplinks between separate server and equipment rooms.
• Storage and high-performance computing environments preparing for SWDM.

Technical features

The cable combines two OM5 fibers in a 3.0 mm duplex construction. The fiber complies with ISO/IEC 11801-1 OM5, IEC 60793-2-10 A1-OM5 and TIA-492AAAF, delivering an effective modal bandwidth of at least 4700 MHz·km at 850 nm.

SWDM links up to 100 Gbps are supported over distances up to 150 meters, and the same fiber class is used in 400G systems that combine multiple fiber pairs.

Factory-terminated LC/UPC connectors achieve return loss above 30 dB and remain stable through 1000 mating cycles. The cable performs reliably from -20 °C to +70 °C.
