InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/LC 50/125µm OM5 3m

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/LC 50/125µm OM5 3m is a duplex multimode fiber cable designed for full duplex, short- to medium-range data transmission. It has LC connectors on both ends and a 50/125 µm core/cladding geometry with OM5 multimode fiber, enabling multi-wavelength support for modern networking systems. The 3 meter cable length provides a practical reach for rack-to-rack, patch panel or equipment connections in data centers and enterprise network closets.

Advantages

This InLine LC/LC duplex cable uses 50/125 µm OM5 multimode fiber, which supports multiple wavelengths and is suitable for high-bandwidth short-distance links. The LC connectors offer compact form factor and industry-standard compatibility with LC ports on transceivers and patch panels. The duplex configuration provides simultaneous transmit and receive channels for full duplex network links. Being 3 meters long, the cable balances flexibility and manageable cable routing inside racks and cabinets.

Suitable for

• Patch panel to switch or transceiver connections in data centers
• Server-to-switch links in enterprise racks
• Optical equipment interconnects where LC connectors are required
• High-bandwidth multimode fiber installations using OM5

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM5 multimode fiber
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC duplex
• Cable length: 3 m
• Transmission mode: full duplex

How to use

Unpack the cable and inspect LC connectors for protective caps or contamination. Remove dust caps and align each LC connector with the corresponding LC port on the devices to be connected, ensuring proper orientation and gentle insertion until it clicks in place. Use the duplex clip or keyed orientation if present to maintain correct transmit/receive alignment. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension, and reapply dust caps when disconnecting to protect connector endfaces.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, keep bend radius within manufacturer guidelines, avoid pulling on the connectors, and use proper cleaning tools for LC ferrules before installation. Choose OM5-compatible transceivers and ensure multimode link budgets and connector cleanliness are verified during deployment.
