InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/SC 50/125µm OM2 0.5m

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/SC 50/125µm OM2 0.5m is a short multimode fibre patch cable designed for reliable duplex data transmission between network devices. With a 50 µm core and OM2 fibre rating, the cable supports multimode signals over short to medium distances. It comes terminated with an LC connector on one end and an SC connector on the other, allowing straightforward connection between equipment with different ports while maintaining optical signal integrity.

Advantages

This duplex cable delivers consistent multimode performance with a 50/125 µm core/cladding geometry and OM2 classification. The mixed LC/SC termination offers compatibility across a range of network switches, transceivers and patch panels. At 0.5 m length it provides tidy, low-loss connections in rack and patching environments, while the robust jacket and strain relief protect the fibre from bending and handling during installation.

Suitable for

• Connecting network switches, media converters and optical transceivers where LC to SC termination is required
• Patch panels and short-range multimode links in data centres and server rooms
• FTTx and campus backbone segments where OM2 multimode performance is sufficient

Key specifications

• Fibre type: multimode
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• OM classification: OM2
• Connector A: LC
• Connector B: SC
• Cable configuration: duplex
• Length: 0.5 m
• Jacket: manufacturer-standard protective jacket with strain relief

How to use

Identify the LC and SC ports on the devices to be connected, ensure both ports and cable endfaces are clean and free of dust, then insert the LC connector into the LC port and the SC connector into the SC port until each clicks into place. Avoid tight bends near the connector ends and use cable management in racks or panels to maintain minimum bend radius. For removal, depress the LC latch and pull the SC connector squarely from its adapter to avoid stress on the fibre.

Recommendations

Inspect and clean optical endfaces before each connection, use the cable for short to medium multimode runs consistent with OM2 performance, and store unused cables coiled without sharp bends. For longer distances or higher bandwidth requirements consider higher OM classifications or single-mode solutions.
