Fibre optic cable MicroConnect FIB551005 — OM5, 5 m, LC–LC, 9 µm core, full duplex, green

MicroConnect FIB551005 is a 5 m OM5 multimode fibre optic patch cable with LC connectors on both ends and a 9 µm core diameter. The green, full-duplex cable is intended for high-speed data links such as InfiniBand and data centre interconnects, offering low-loss multimode transmission for patching and device connections.

Advantages

The OM5 (WBMMF) design supports enhanced multimode performance and wider wavelength operation compared with earlier multimode grades, enabling higher bandwidth over short to medium distances. LC–LC terminations provide compact, industry-standard connectivity and the coloured jacket simplifies identification in patch panels and cable bundles.

Suitable for

• Data centre patching and rack-to-rack links
• InfiniBand and high-speed server interconnects
• Multimode fibre links requiring easy identification (green jacket)
• Short to medium distance multimode transmission

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 m
• Connector type: LC–LC
• Core diameter: 9 µm
• Multimode grade: OM5 (WBMMF)
• Duplex: Full duplex
• Product colour: Green
• Weight: 0.038 kg

How to use

Route the cable between LC-compatible ports, ensuring connectors are clean before insertion. Use the green jacket to identify OM5 links in the rack or patch panel. Insert LC connectors into the transceiver or adapter until they click into place; observe proper bend radius and avoid sharp kinks to maintain signal integrity.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, clean connector end-faces with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before mating and avoid exceeding the recommended bend radius. Use OM5 multimode cabling for short to medium distance high-bandwidth applications and keep a clear labelling scheme to distinguish OM5 (green) cables from other fibre grades.
