Network Cable Helos LWL Patch Cable Uniboot LC/LC Duplex 50/125µm OM5 0.50m Green

The Helos LWL Patch Cable Uniboot LC/LC Duplex 50/125µm OM5 0.50m in green is a short duplex fiber optic patch lead designed for high-density network environments. It uses OM5 multimode fiber with a 50/125µm core/cladding ratio to support high-speed short-range data transmission. The uniboot LC duplex connector combines two fibers in a single compact boot, saving panel space and simplifying cable routing in racks and patch panels.

Advantages

This patch cable provides compact duplex connectivity with a uniboot LC/LC connector format that reduces space requirements in high-density installations. The OM5 multimode grading supports wideband applications and improved modal performance for short-range, high-bandwidth links. The 0.50 m length is suited to connections within racks, between adjacent patch panels, or behind network equipment where longer cables would create clutter. The green jacket offers easy visual identification of OM5 fiber in mixed-fiber environments.

Suitable for

• Rack-to-rack and panel-to-panel connections in data centers
• Short-distance links between switches, transceivers and patch panels
• High-density cabling runs where space-saving uniboot connectors are needed
• Environments requiring OM5 multimode fiber for wideband multimode applications

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM5
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector type: LC/LC duplex uniboot
• Length: 0.50 m
• Color: Green
• Jacket: Multimode fiber jacket suitable for indoor patching

How to use

Route the Helos uniboot patch cable between LC ports on transceivers, switches or patch panels, aligning the connectors with the LC adapter slots and inserting gently until they click. The duplex uniboot design keeps the two fibers together; ensure the keyed orientation matches the transmit/receive assignment on each end. Avoid tight bends near the connector ends and maintain the minimum bend radius specified for multimode fiber when routing within racks or conduits.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable to prevent contamination of connector endfaces—use dust caps when connectors are not in use and clean endfaces with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before installation. For best performance, limit patch lengths to the intended short-range links and verify transceiver compatibility with OM5 multimode fiber and the LC connector type.
