Fibre optic cable LOGON AL5SCSC25I/5I OM5 25 m SC–SC 50 µm full duplex (light green)

LOGON AL5SCSC25I/5I OM5 is a 25 m multimode fibre optic cable with SC connectors on both ends and a 50 µm core diameter designed for full-duplex data transmission. The cable uses WideBand OM5 bend-insensitive multimode fibre optimized for short wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) applications, offering OM4-equivalent performance across the 850–950 nm window while remaining compatible with existing multimode infrastructure. It is intended for high-speed InfiniBand and fibre-optic links in data centres, server racks, switch interconnects and storage networking where short-to-medium distance multimode links are required.

Advantages

The cable combines OM5 WideBand performance with bend-insensitive construction to reduce signal loss in installations with tight bend radii and compact routing. Using laser-optimized multimode fibre, it supports multi-wavelength transceivers and duplex transmission for high aggregate rates such as 40/100/400 Gb/s with SWDM technology. SC connectors on both ends provide reliable mechanical engagement and straightforward deployment in equipment with SC ports. The light green jacket color identifies OM5 fibre for easy recognition during installation and maintenance.

How to use

Route the 25 m OM5 cable between equipment with SC ports, ensuring connectors are clean and free of dust before insertion. Follow standard multimode handling practices: avoid sharp bends, keep bend radius above the minimum recommended by the cable manufacturer, and secure the cable to prevent strain on connectors. For best optical performance, use compatible multi-wavelength transceivers and verify link parameters with appropriate fibre test equipment after installation.

Recommendations

Use LOGON OM5 fibre for short-wavelength division multiplexing deployments and future-proofed multimode links supporting 40/100/400 Gb/s. Maintain cleanliness of SC connectors, avoid excessive bending and use cable management accessories in racks and patch panels to preserve bend-insensitive performance.
