Fiber Optic Patch Cable helos LWL 50/125µm OM5 LC 15m Duplex

Duplex fiber optic patch cable helos LWL 50/125µm OM5 LC 15m Duplex is a 15‑metre multimode OM5 patch cable with LC connectors on both ends, intended for short-distance high‑speed links in data centres, enterprise networks and audiovisual systems. The cable uses 50/125 µm multimode glass optimized for wavelength division in the shortwave spectrum, and the duplex construction provides simultaneous transmit and receive channels in a single compact assembly. The jacket is colour-coded to assist identification and structured cabling management.

Advantages

The helos OM5 LC duplex cable offers low insertion loss and consistent multimode performance across the specified wavelengths, enabling reliable connections for high‑density patching. LC terminations provide compact connector size suitable for high‑port-density panels and transceivers. The 15 m length balances reach and manageability for racks, cabinets and patching between adjacent rooms while the duplex format simplifies pairing of Tx/Rx channels. The colour-coded jacket and standardized multimode design support easier installation and troubleshooting.

Suitable for

• Data centre horizontal and inter‑rack patching
• Enterprise LAN multimode links
• Audiovisual signal distribution and broadcast environments
• Connections to multimode transceivers and LC patch panels

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM5, 50/125 µm core/cladding
• Connector type: LC duplex on both ends
• Length: 15 metres
• Cable format: Duplex (paired fibres in a single assembly)
• Jacket: Colour‑coded for identification and organized cabling
• Intended use: Short‑distance multimode links and patching

How to use

Route the duplex cable between equipment or patch panels ensuring minimum bending radii to protect the multimode fibres. Insert LC connectors into the corresponding LC ports, aligning the keyed latches until they click into place. Use the colour‑coded jacket to match transmit and receive channels and to maintain correct polarity; verify signal continuity and optical power levels after connection. When rerouting or storing the cable, coil it loosely and avoid tight bends or compressive forces on the connectors and jacket.

Recommendations

Maintain bend radius and handling practices consistent with multimode OM5 fibres, inspect connector endfaces for contamination before mating, and use appropriate dust caps when connectors are not in use. For best performance in high‑density installations, pair this LC duplex cable with compatible LC patch panels and multimode transceivers designed for OM5 operation.
