LOGON InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 1 m OM5 LC–SC, 50 µm, full duplex, light green

LOGON InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 1 m OM5 LC–SC is a 1‑metre duplex multimode patch cable designed for short‑reach, high‑speed interconnects in data centres, server racks and network closets. The cable uses WideBand OM5 50 µm laser‑optimized multimode fibre to support multi‑wavelength short‑wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) applications while remaining compatible with OM4 infrastructure. It features an LC connector on one end and an SC connector on the other, a light green jacket for easy identification and a full duplex configuration for simultaneous bidirectional data transmission.

Advantages

The OM5 fibre core and dual‑layer UV curable acrylate coating provide low macro‑ and micro‑bending sensitivity, stable performance across a wide range of environmental conditions and suitability for tight bend radii and compact cable management. Support for SWDM and high‑speed duplex transmission makes this cable appropriate for current 40/100 Gb/s links and for migration toward higher multi‑wavelength systems such as 100 Gb/s and 400 Gb/s. The mixed LC–SC connectorization offers flexibility for interfacing with a variety of transceivers, patch panels and legacy equipment.

Suitable for

• Short‑reach links in data centres and server rooms
• Patching between racks, switches and InfiniBand or fibre channel equipment
• Equipment interconnects where LC to SC conversion is required
• High‑speed multi‑wavelength systems using SWDM

Key specifications

• Fibre type: WideBand OM5 multimode, 50 µm core
• Length: 1 m
• Configuration: Full duplex multimode
• Connectors: LC on one end, SC on the other
• Jacket colour: Light green
• Bend performance: Low macro‑bending and high micro‑bending resistance
• Optimized for: SWDM multi‑wavelength transmission and short‑reach high‑speed links

How to use

Inspect both connectors and port dust caps before installation. Plug the LC connector into the LC port and the SC connector into the SC receptacle, ensuring secure seating and correct orientation for duplex signal paths. Route the cable following rack and cable management best practices, avoiding sharp bends and excessive tension; the OM5 fibre tolerates tighter bend radii than older multimode fibres but should still be protected within cable guides and patch panels. Test the link after installation using appropriate optical test equipment or compatible transceivers to verify signal integrity and insertion loss.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment; use dust caps when connectors are not mated. For best long‑term performance, avoid repeated tight bending near connector ends and secure the cable in patch panels or trays to prevent strain. Use this OM5 LC–SC duplex cable when migrating to multi‑wavelength SWDM systems or when you need a reliable LC to SC multimode interconnect in short‑reach installations.
