Ekivalan OM5 Duplex Fiber Patch Cable SC/ST, 50/125 µm, Lime Green, 5.0 m COZOM5DCST2SL0050A

In high-density data centers and enterprise backbone networks, this OM5 duplex patch cable links switches, servers, and storage arrays with SC to ST connectivity. Its lime green jacket allows instant identification of OM5 multimode fiber, while the 5-meter length suits patching within racks or between adjacent cabinets.

Why choose it

OM5 fiber supports short wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM), enabling 40GbE and 100GbE over fewer strands than OM4. The LSZH jacket emits low smoke and no halogen in case of fire, making it suitable for enclosed spaces. SC and ST connectors provide secure, bayonet-style mating for reliable links.

Ideal use cases

• Data center interconnects and SANs
• Enterprise LAN backbone patching
• High-speed server-to-switch links
• SWDM4 applications

Good to know

Duplex construction pairs two fibers for bidirectional communication. The lime green color is standardized for OM5, simplifying cable management and preventing mix-ups with other multimode grades.
