Fibre optic cable ShiverPeaks BS07-500115 0.5 m LC Green

The ShiverPeaks BS07-500115 0.5 m LC Green is a 0.5 metre OM5 multimode fibre optic patch cable with LC connectors on both ends. Designed for short-range, high-bandwidth links, this green-jacketed cable has a 50 µm core diameter and supports full duplex transmission for simultaneous send and receive channels. Its compact length and LC terminations make it suitable for dense patching in rack-mounted equipment, top-of-rack switches and fibre panels.

Advantages

This OM5 fibre cable provides high-speed multimode performance with a standardized 50 µm core that supports modern data centre protocols and shortwave wavelength-division multiplexing. The LC connector type offers a small form factor to increase port density. The 0.5 m length reduces excess looped fibre in patch areas, improving airflow and cable management. The green outer jacket provides visual identification for OM5 multimode installations.

Suitable for

• Short-distance links between switches, servers and storage in data centres
• Patch panel to switch connections in high-density racks
• High-performance computing cluster interconnects
• Environments requiring clear identification of OM5 multimode cabling

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM5 multimode
• Connector type: LC to LC (both ends)
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Duplex mode: Full duplex
• Jacket color: Green (OM5 identification)

How to use

Route the 0.5 m LC cable between the corresponding LC ports on your transceivers, switches or patch panels, ensuring connectors are clean before insertion. Align the LC connector latch with the port and push until it clicks to secure the connection. For duplex links, connect each LC end to the matching transmit and receive ports to establish full duplex communication. Avoid tight bends; maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radii to prevent signal loss.

Recommendations

Inspect and clean fibre endfaces with appropriate cleaning tools before each use, label both ends for easy identification in dense installations, and store spare cables coiled without sharp bends. Use this 0.5 m OM5 LC patch cable where short, high-density multimode connections are required and follow industry best practices for handling multimode fibre.
