Fibre optic patch cable MicroConnect FIB442015-2 OM2 50/125 15 m LC–LC Orange Full duplex

The MicroConnect FIB442015-2 is a 15 m OM2 multimode fibre optic patch cable with a 50/125 µm core and LC–LC connectors designed for full‑duplex data transmission. The orange LSZH jacket identifies it as OM2 multimode and the compact LC connectors are suitable for dense patching in data centres, server rooms, telecom racks and enterprise networks. The cable is optically tested for insertion loss to ensure consistent performance and is compliant with relevant industry standards.

Advantages

This OM2 50/125 µm patch cord offers cost‑effective multimode connectivity with tested low insertion loss. The LSZH jacket reduces hazardous smoke in case of fire, and the LC–LC connectors provide reliable, space‑saving connections for full‑duplex applications. The orange jacket eases identification and cable management in mixed cabling environments.

Suitable for

• Patch panels and horizontal cabling in data centres
• Interconnection between switches and servers in server rooms
• Telecom rooms and central office fibre runs
• Enterprise LANs and campus networks requiring multimode links

When it may not be suitable

This OM2 multimode cable is not intended for singlemode networks or long‑haul links where singlemode fibre is required. It may also be unsuitable when higher modal bandwidth (e.g., OM3/OM4/OM5) is needed for very high‑speed or long‑distance multimode links.

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Multimode OM2
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Length: 15 m
• Connector type: LC to LC (duplex)
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Colour: Orange
• Weight: 0.11 kg

How to use

Route the cable between the two LC‑equipped devices or patch panel ports, taking care to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress on the fibre. Insert LC connectors into the corresponding LC ports until they click, ensuring correct polarity for full‑duplex transmission. Label both ends if required for identification and secure excess cable to cable management hardware to maintain bend radius and reduce strain.

What to consider before purchase

• Compatibility with device ports (LC connectors)
• Required fibre type for the application (OM2 multimode vs singlemode or higher‑grade multimode)
• Necessary cable length and routing constraints
• Fire safety requirements (LSZH jacket)

Recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid bending the cable below the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius, keep connectors dust‑free using protective caps when not in use, and verify link performance with appropriate fibre test equipment after installation.
