MICROCONNECT LC/UPC to LC/UPC OM5 Duplex Fiber Patch Cable 100m – Lime Green LSZH

Data center engineers deploying 100GbE or 400GbE links between switches and patch panels often struggle with signal loss and bend sensitivity over long distances. This 100-metre OM5 duplex patch cable from MICROCONNECT solves that with pre-terminated LC/UPC connectors and a lime green LSZH jacket that stays flexible and safe even in dense cable trays.

Key specifications

• Bandwidth: 2800 MHz-km @850nm, 1800 MHz-km @953nm
• Supported wavelengths: 850 nm and 953 nm
• Standards: IEC 60793-2-10 Type A1a.4, TIA-492AAAE
• Operating temperature: -20°C to +70°C
• Minimum bend radius: 7.5 mm

Why choose it

OM5 wideband multimode fibre is engineered for short-reach high-speed applications, supporting multiple wavelengths to maximise bandwidth over a single pair. The duplex LC/UPC interface is the de facto standard for enterprise and data centre connectivity, while the LSZH jacket ensures safety in plenum spaces and confined areas. With low insertion and return loss, this cable maintains signal integrity across long runs, even at 400GbE.

Ideal use cases

• Data centre ToR (top-of-rack) and EoR (end-of-row) connections
• High-performance computing clusters
• Storage area networks (SAN) and fibre channel links
• Enterprise backbone cabling requiring 100GbE or 400GbE
• Any environment where high bandwidth and low latency are critical

Good to know

The lime green jacket colour is the industry-standard identifier for OM5 fibre, making it easy to distinguish from OM3 (aqua) and OM4 (violet) in mixed installations. The LSZH material emits very low smoke and no toxic halogens if exposed to fire, which is essential for meeting safety regulations in occupied buildings. The cable is factory-terminated and tested, so you can deploy it immediately without field polishing or splicing.
