Fibre optic cable Tecline 796LS00 LC SC OM5 0.5 m Light Green

The Tecline 796LS00 LC–SC OM5 fibre optic cable is a 0.5 m multimode patch cord designed for short interconnects in data centres, telecom closets and network distribution panels. It uses OM5 multimode fibre with a 50 µm core diameter and supports full duplex transmission via LC and SC terminations. The light green jacket provides a clear visual indicator for OM5 installations and helps maintain organised cabling runs with minimal insertion loss and consistent optical performance.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable provides low attenuation and stable signal integrity for high-speed multimode links. The LC connector offers a compact footprint for high-density panels while the SC connector provides robust push–pull mating for legacy equipment. The OM5 multimode core enables wider wavelength range operation and improved multiplexing options over short distances, and the short 0.5 m length reduces excess slack in patching scenarios. The light green outer jacket simplifies identification of OM5 cabling in mixed-fibre environments.

Suitable for

• Short-range patching in data centres and server rooms
• Fiber backbone cross-connects and distribution frames
• Connecting network switches, transceivers and media converters
• Environments requiring OM5 colour-coded identification

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM5 multimode

• Connector B: SC
• Mode: Multimode, full duplex
• Jacket colour: Light green

How to use

Inspect connectors and ports for contamination before mating; clean with appropriate fibre cleaning tools if necessary. Align the LC connector with the corresponding LC port and the SC connector with the SC port, then gently insert until a secure latching or click is felt. Avoid bending the cable below its minimum bend radius and route it through cable management hardware to prevent strain. For reliable performance, verify link continuity and insertion loss with suitable optical test equipment after installation.

Recommendations

Store the cable coiled loosely and avoid tight bends. Use patch panels and cable organisers to minimise mechanical stress. When replacing or extending links, match OM class and connector types to maintain expected optical performance.
