InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/LC 50/125µm OM5 20m

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/LC 50/125µm OM5 20m is a multimode duplex patch cable designed for full-duplex connections in high-density networking environments. With LC connectors on both ends and a 50/125 µm core/cladding diameter, this OM5-rated cable is intended for short- to medium-range, high-bandwidth data transmission. The 20 m length provides flexibility for routing between racks, switches and active equipment in data centers and enterprise installations.

Advantages

This LC/LC duplex cable offers low insertion loss and stable signal performance appropriate for OM5 multimode systems. The 50/125 µm fiber geometry supports higher modal bandwidth compared with standard multimode fibers, and the LC connectors provide a compact footprint suitable for high-density patch panels. The duplex construction ensures simultaneous transmit and receive channels for full-duplex links.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between switches, servers and storage in data centers
• Patching within telecom and enterprise networking cabinets
• High-bandwidth multimode links supporting short- to medium-distance connections
• Environments requiring LC connector density and duplex signaling

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM5 multimode
• Core / cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC duplex
• Length: 20 m
• Mode: Multimode, duplex
• Typical application: High-bandwidth short- to medium-range links

How to use

Route the cable between the two LC-compatible devices or patch panels, respecting minimum bend radius limits of multimode fiber to avoid increased attenuation. Align and insert each LC connector into the corresponding LC adapter until it latches. Verify polarity to ensure correct transmit/receive pairing for full-duplex operation. After installation, test the link with appropriate fiber test equipment to confirm insertion loss and continuity.

Recommendations

Handle the cable by the connector boots and avoid touching the ferrule endfaces. Keep protective dust caps on connectors until final insertion. Use proper cable management and strain relief in racks and cabinets, and perform connector cleaning and optical testing after installation to ensure reliable performance.
