InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable SC/SC 50/125µm OM5 25m

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable SC/SC 50/125µm OM5 25m is a duplex multimode fiber patch cable with SC connectors on both ends and a 25 metre length. The cable uses a 50/125 µm core/cladding geometry and OM5 multimode grading to support high-speed, short- to medium-range data transmission. Its full-duplex configuration allows simultaneous bidirectional communication, making it suitable for structured cabling in data centres, server rooms and enterprise network segments where consistent multimode performance is required.

Advantages

This cable provides multimode OM5 performance for broad-spectrum VCSEL-friendly transmission and improved modal bandwidth compared with earlier multimode types. The SC connectors offer a push-pull coupling mechanism for secure, tool-free mating, while duplex construction supports simultaneous transmit and receive channels in a single assembly. The 25 m length covers typical rack-to-rack or room-to-room links without additional splicing, and the 50/125 µm fibre core is compatible with common multimode transceivers and active equipment used in data centre environments.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between racks, switches and patch panels in data centres
• High-density enterprise backbone and horizontal connections
• Short- to medium-distance multimode links for storage and server networks
• Test benches and lab environments requiring OM5 multimode cabling

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Multimode OM5
• Core / cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector A / B: SC duplex / SC duplex
• Length: 25 m
• Polarity: Duplex (paired transmit and receive)
• Jacket: Multimode cable jacket suitable for indoor use

How to use

Route the cable along the intended pathway between patch panels, switches or transceivers, avoiding sharp bends and excessive pulling tension. Align the SC connector key with the adapter opening and insert until the connector clicks into place; repeat for the opposite end. Verify polarity and proper seating by testing link continuity and optical power levels before placing the connection into service. Handle connectors by the boot or housing and keep endfaces clean; use an inspection microscope or cleaning tools if contamination is suspected.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, maintain the minimum bend radius specified by the manufacturer, keep connector endfaces free of dust and oil, and use compatible OM5-rated transceivers. Store and route the cable away from sources of mechanical strain and electromagnetic interference; perform optical testing after installation to confirm signal loss and link quality.
