Fibre optic cable Tecline 796LL00 LC OM5 0.5 m Light Green

The Tecline 796LL00 LC OM5 0.5 m Light Green is a short, duplex fibre optic patch cable designed for high-speed data links in modern network environments. With an OM5 multimode core diameter of 50 µm and LC connectors on both ends, the cable supports reliable bidirectional transmission for equipment interconnects in data centers, server rooms and telecommunication racks. The compact 0.5 m length and light green jacket make it suitable for neat connections and easy identification in dense cabling setups.

Advantages

This OM5 fibre cable provides low insertion loss and consistent multimode performance across short channel lengths, facilitating high-speed communication between switches, transceivers and patch panels. The LC connectors ensure secure, small-form-factor connections that are widely compatible with networking hardware. The light green jacket color follows common cabling color conventions for OM5, aiding visual management and maintenance. The short length reduces excess cable slack and helps maintain tidy cable runs in concentrated environments.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between switches, transceivers and patch panels within racks
• High-density patching in data centres and server rooms
• Short-reach multimode links for storage and compute clusters
• Upgrades to network segments requiring OM5 multimode support

Key specifications

• Cable type: OM5 multimode fibre
• Core diameter: 50 µm multimode
• Connector type: LC to LC, duplex
• Length: 0.5 m
• Jacket colour: Light green
• Transmission: Duplex optical links for short-reach, high-speed networks

How to use

Ensure both ends of the network equipment are powered down or follow hot-swap procedures as required by your devices. Align and insert the LC connectors into the corresponding LC ports until they click into place, taking care to avoid bending the fibre at sharp angles. Route the 0.5 m cable within the rack or patch panel to minimise strain and prevent kinking. Verify link status and optical power levels on the connected devices or transceivers to confirm correct installation and signal integrity.

Recommendations

Handle the OM5 fibre cable by the connector housings and avoid touching the ferrule ends; use dust caps when connectors are not in use. Maintain bend radius guidelines specified by fibre standards, and store spare cables coiled loosely to prevent microbends. For best performance, inspect and clean connector endfaces with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before mating.
