InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/SC 50/125µm OM5 15m

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/SC 50/125µm OM5 15m is a multimode duplex patch cable designed for high-speed optical networks. It pairs an LC connector on one end with an SC connector on the other, and its 50/125 µm core/cladding dimensions are optimized for short- to medium-range data transmission. The OM5 fiber type enables operation across multiple wavelengths, supporting modern wavelength-division multiplexing and providing flexibility in network design.

Advantages

This duplex cable provides full-duplex communication, low insertion loss and consistent signal integrity across its 15 m length. The LC and SC connectors offer broad compatibility with switches, transceivers and fiber panels from different vendors, while the OM5 multimode fiber supports wider wavelength ranges for improved bandwidth utilization. The cable’s standardized 50/125 µm geometry ensures predictable performance in data centre and enterprise cabling infrastructures.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between switches, servers and storage in data centres
• Links between network racks and patch panels in enterprise environments
• Connections to transceivers and optical equipment that accept LC and SC interfaces
• Multimode installations requiring support for multiple wavelengths and short- to medium-range links

How to use

Route the cable along the designated cable management paths, avoiding tight bends and pressure points; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for OM5 multimode fiber. Insert the LC connector into the LC receptacle and the SC connector into the SC adapter or transceiver port until each connector clicks into place. Verify link status on connected equipment and test the optical path using appropriate test equipment if required. When removing the cable, press the connector latch and pull straight to avoid stressing the fiber.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, keep connectors clean and protected with dust caps when not in use. Use fiber cleaning tools or lint-free wipes with isopropyl alcohol to remove contaminants before mating. Avoid routing the cable near high-power electrical sources and secure it using approved cable management accessories to prevent microbending losses.
