InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/SC 50/125µm OM5 1m

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/SC 50/125µm OM5 1m is a 1‑metre duplex multimode fiber cable designed for high‑speed optical connections. It uses OM5 graded multimode fiber with a 50/125 µm core/cladding diameter and terminates in two LC connectors on one end and two SC connectors on the other end. The cable supports full duplex transmission and is intended for linking network equipment that accepts LC and SC interfaces in data centers, server rooms, or professional LAN installations.

Advantages

The cable combines OM5 multimode fiber characteristics with duplex LC and SC terminations to provide consistent multimode performance across short and medium reach links. Its 50/125 µm core diameter enables compatibility with standard multimode transceivers and active components. The duplex configuration supports simultaneous bidirectional data transfer, while the combination of LC and SC connectors increases compatibility with a variety of switches, transceivers and patch panels. A 1 m length offers a compact, manageable connection for rack, cabinet and equipment-to-equipment cabling.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, transceivers and patch panels with LC and SC ports
• Short‑ to medium‑reach multimode links in data centres and server rooms
• Equipment interconnects in office and professional LAN installations
• Testing and temporary cabling where a 1 m duplex link is required

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM5 multimode
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connectors: 2× LC to 2× SC (duplex)
• Cable length: 1 m
• Transmission: full duplex multimode optical link

How to use

Ensure both devices to be connected are powered down or follow hot‑swap procedures recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Align and insert the LC connectors into the corresponding LC ports and the SC connectors into the SC ports; LC connectors require push‑pull insertion while SC connectors use a push‑latch action. Avoid bending the fiber cable sharply; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to prevent increased attenuation. After connection, verify link status and perform optical power or continuity testing as required by your network installation procedures.

Recommendations

Handle the OM5 multimode fiber with care: keep connector endfaces clean using appropriate fiber cleaning tools, protect unused connectors with dust caps, and route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress. Match the cable’s OM5 specification with compatible transceivers and equipment to ensure expected multimode performance over the intended link length.
