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

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable SC/SC 50/125µm OM5 10m is a duplex multimode fiber cable with SC connectors on both ends and a 50/125 µm core/cladding dimension. Designed for full-duplex data transmission, this OM5 cable supports multiple wavelength operation and is intended for short- to medium-range high-speed networking links, server connections, and data center patching. The 10 m length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack or equipment-to-switch connections while maintaining low insertion loss when properly installed.

Advantages

This OM5 duplex fiber cable offers consistent multimode performance across a broader wavelength range compared with legacy OM3/OM4 fibers, enabling wavelength-division multiplexing and improved modal bandwidth. SC push-pull connectors provide reliable mechanical retention and straightforward installation in standard patch panels and equipment ports. The 50/125 µm core size is compatible with common multimode transceivers, ensuring predictable optical performance for short-reach links.

Suitable for

• Data center patching and rack-to-rack connections
• High-speed short-reach multimode networks
• Server farm and switch interconnects
• Applications requiring multimode OM5 wavelength flexibility

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM5 multimode
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector type: SC duplex (both ends)
• Length: 10 m
• Mode: Duplex full-duplex operation
• Typical use: Short- to medium-distance multimode links

How to use

Route the cable between equipment ports or through cable management channels, avoiding sharp bends and excessive tensile stress. Insert SC connectors into corresponding SC ports until the latch engages; ensure connector endfaces are clean and free of dust before mating to minimize insertion loss and back reflections. For patching, label both ends to match network documentation and secure excess cable length to prevent abrupt bends that exceed the recommended minimum bend radius.

Recommendations

Clean connector endfaces with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before installation, maintain bend radii according to manufacturer guidelines, and use proper strain relief to avoid pulling on the fiber. Verify link performance with an optical power meter or certified test equipment after installation to ensure expected attenuation and signal levels.
