InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/SC 50/125µm OM5 10m

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/SC 50/125µm OM5 10m is a duplex multimode fiber patch cable designed for high-bandwidth network environments. It features 50/125 µm core/cladding dimensions, OM5 multimode fiber optimized for wideband shortwave wavelengths, and LC and SC connector interfaces arranged for duplex operation. At 10 meters length, the cable is suitable for connecting active equipment in data centers, server rooms, and telecom racks where reliable, low-loss optical links are required.

Advantages

This duplex fiber cable provides low insertion loss and consistent multimode performance across SWDM wavelength ranges, enabling higher aggregate throughput in modern networking setups. The use of LC and SC connector types ensures compatibility with a broad range of transceivers and patch panels. The OM5 fiber grade improves modal bandwidth and supports wavelength-division multiplexing techniques, which can extend the effective capacity of existing multimode infrastructures.

Suitable for

• High-bandwidth short-reach connections in data centers and server rooms
• Patch panel to switch or transceiver to transceiver links using LC and SC ports
• Applications employing SWDM or multimode transceivers for aggregated bandwidth
• Fiber trunking and intra-rack connections where 10 m length is appropriate

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM5 multimode
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector types: LC on one end, SC on the other (duplex)
• Configuration: Duplex multimode patch cable
• Length: 10 meters
• Polish/type: Multimode standard polish (factory terminated)
• Jacket: Standard optical cable jacket suitable for indoor use

How to use

Route the duplex cable between the source and destination ports, ensuring the LC and SC connectors match the corresponding transceiver or panel ports. Handle connectors by the housing to avoid touching the ferrule and inspect endfaces for contamination before insertion. When connecting, align the connectors gently until they engage; do not force connections. Maintain bend radii greater than the minimum recommended for multimode fiber to avoid increased attenuation. For best results, use appropriate cable management on racks and panels to prevent strain or kinking.

Recommendations

Clean optical endfaces with proper fiber cleaning tools prior to installation, verify link performance with an optical power meter or appropriate test equipment after termination, and avoid routing the cable near strong electromagnetic interference sources. Use this OM5 duplex cable where multimode, short-reach high-bandwidth links are required and consider multimode transceiver compatibility when planning upgrades.
