InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/LC 62.5/125µm OM1 0.5m

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/LC 62.5/125µm OM1 0.5m is a short-range multimode fiber patch cable designed for full-duplex data transmission in structured cabling environments. With a 62.5 µm core diameter and LC connectors on both ends, the cable is intended for reliable connections between switches, patch panels, transceivers and other networking equipment in data centers and office networks.

Advantages

This fiber cable provides stable multimode performance with a standard 62.5/125 µm core/cladding geometry suited to legacy OM1 links. The duplex LC/LC configuration enables simultaneous bidirectional communication while occupying minimal rack space thanks to the compact LC ferrules. The short 0.5 m length reduces signal loss and patching clutter in dense rack and patch panel installations. The cable construction supports routine handling and repeated mating cycles typical for patching operations.

Suitable for

• Short-distance connections between switches and patch panels
• Linking multimode transceivers and servers in wiring closets
• Temporary or permanent patching inside data cabinets
• Upgrading or extending existing OM1 multimode infrastructure

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode (OM1)
• Core/cladding diameter: 62.5/125 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC duplex
• Length: 0.5 m
• Mode: Full duplex
• Jacket: Flexible patch cable jacket suitable for horizontal and rack cabling

How to use

Inspect connectors and ports for contamination before insertion and clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools if required. Plug each LC connector into the corresponding LC port ensuring proper keying and alignment; the duplex cable supports simultaneous transmit and receive channels and should be connected to matching TX/RX orientations on devices. Avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable during installation; maintain recommended bend radius to preserve optical performance. For best results, label both ends to indicate link endpoints and test the installed connection with a certified fiber tester or optical loss meter.

Recommendations

Use this OM1 duplex LC/LC cable for short, in-rack or in-cabinet patching where multimode 62.5/125 µm links are required. For longer distances or higher bandwidth requirements consider multimode OM3/OM4 or singlemode options; always verify transceiver compatibility with OM1 fiber specifications before deployment.
