Good Connections OM2 Duplex Multimode Fiber Patch Cable SC/SC 5m LW-805SC

Engineered for high-speed multimode networking, this 5-meter OM2 duplex fiber patch cable delivers a 500 MHz·km bandwidth at both 850 nm and 1300 nm, ensuring reliable Gigabit Ethernet performance. With SC connectors on both ends and a 50/125 µm core, it provides a low-loss, high-return connection for data centers, enterprise backbones, and FTTx applications.

Overview

The Good Connections LW-805SC is a duplex multimode fiber optic patch cable with OM2 classification, featuring SC to SC connectors with PC polishing. The cable uses a 50/125 µm core/cladding diameter and is built with a zipcord construction for easy separation of the two fibers. The LSZH jacket in orange provides safety in enclosed spaces and meets halogen-free requirements. With a length of 5 meters, it is suitable for patching between fiber panels, switches, and media converters.

What stands out

• OM2 multimode fiber supports 1 Gbps Ethernet up to 550 meters at 850 nm.
• Low insertion loss (< 0.3 dB per connector pair) and high return loss (> 30 dB) ensure signal integrity.
• SC connectors with PC polish offer a reliable, snap-in connection.
• LSZH jacket is flame-retardant and low smoke, ideal for indoor use.
• Duplex zipcord design allows easy separation and routing.
