Fibre optic cable LOGON AL5SCSC05I/5I OM5 5 m SC–SC 50 µm full duplex Light Green

LOGON AL5SCSC05I/5I is a 5 m OM5 multimode fibre optic patch cable with SC connectors on both ends and a 50 µm core. Engineered for full-duplex transmission, this light green cable supports short-reach, high-speed data links in data centres, server-to-switch connections and enterprise or telecom multimode networks. The cable uses WideBand OM5 bend-insensitive multimode fibre optimized for multi-wavelength (SWDM) systems and delivers OM4-equivalent performance across the 850–950 nm window while remaining compatible with existing multimode installations.

Advantages

The WideBand OM5 fibre provides low insertion loss and very low macro-bending sensitivity, enabling reliable optical links in environments with tight cabling routes and compact organisers. Laser-optimised multimode design supports duplex transmission of 40/100/400 Gb/s using SWDM technology and maintains backward compatibility with OM4 multimode fibre. The cable construction includes a dual-layer UV-curable acrylate coating and is optimized for tight-buffer cable applications, offering stable performance across a wide range of environmental conditions.

Suitable for

• Data centre interconnects and server-to-switch links
• Short-reach telecom and enterprise multimode cabling
• Multi-wavelength SWDM systems for 40/100/400 Gb/s
• Upgrades where compatibility with existing OM4 infrastructure is required

How to use

Route the LOGON OM5 cable between SC-configured ports on network equipment, ensuring connectors are clean and free of dust before insertion. Align SC connectors with the equipment ports and push until the connector clicks into place; repeat for the opposite end. For best optical performance, avoid sharp bends and maintain recommended bend radii within cable trays and organisers. Use dust caps when the cable is not connected and follow standard optical fibre handling procedures to prevent contamination or damage to the fibre ends.

Recommendations

For installation, maintain recommended minimum bend radii and avoid repeated tight kinks. Use appropriate polarity and duplex wiring practices for full-duplex links, and verify link performance with an optical power meter or fibre tester after installation. When upgrading existing infrastructure, confirm transceiver compatibility with OM5 and SWDM multi-wavelength transceivers to achieve expected data rates.
