InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/SC 50/125µm OM5 88645Q

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/SC 50/125µm OM5 88645Q is a 5-meter multimode fibre patch cable engineered for reliable high-speed data transmission in structured cabling environments. It features a 50/125 µm core/cladding multimode profile compliant with OM5 specifications and is terminated with two LC connectors on one end and two SC connectors on the other, supporting duplex full‑band communication between compatible networking equipment.

Advantages

This OM5 multimode fibre cable provides low insertion loss and consistent optical performance across wide wavelength ranges, enabling improved bandwidth for short- to medium-range links. The LC and SC connector combination ensures broad compatibility with active devices and patch panels while the duplex configuration supports simultaneous transmit and receive channels. The 5 m length balances reach and manageability for rack- and desk-level connections.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches, transceivers and patch panels in data centres and server rooms
• Connections between multimode SFP+/SFP28 or QSFP+ modules and fibre distribution panels
• High-density cabling runs requiring duplex multimode links with LC and SC terminations
• Short- to medium-distance multimode optical links in enterprise networks

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Multimode OM5
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector types: 2×LC (one end) to 2×SC (other end)
• Duplex configuration: Yes (paired transmit/receive)
• Length: 5 m
• Performance: Designed for wideband multimode operation across multiple wavelengths

How to use

Route the fibre cable avoiding sharp bends and tight radii; follow recommended bend radius guidelines for multimode OM5 fibre. Insert the LC connectors and SC connectors into matching ports on transceivers, switches or patch panels, ensuring correct orientation and that transmit and receive channels are aligned. Secure any cable management clips or ties to prevent strain on the connectors. Before putting links into production, verify continuity and optical loss with appropriate test equipment.

Recommendations

Handle the fibre ends with care, keep dust caps on unused connectors, and clean connector endfaces with approved fibre cleaning tools to maintain optimal optical performance. Avoid exposure to excessive tensile load and maintain cable bend radii consistent with manufacturer guidance for multimode OM5 fibres.
