Tecline HD OM5 LC Duplex to LC Duplex Multimode Fiber Patch Cable, 50/125 µm, Lime Green, 5.0 m 796LL05

Data center technicians and network engineers rely on this Tecline HD OM5 fiber patch cable to link high-speed switches and servers in backbone and SAN environments. The 5-meter lime green cable is built with 50/125 µm multimode fiber, supporting short-wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) for 40G and 100G Ethernet over a single pair of fibers.

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM5 wideband multimode (WBMMF)
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connectors: LC Duplex to LC Duplex, A-B polarity
• Length: 5.0 m
• Jacket: LSZH, lime green
• Insertion loss: < 0.3 dB per connector pair
• Return loss: > 30 dB
• Bandwidth: 2800 MHz·km @ 850 nm, 4700 MHz·km @ 953 nm
• Operating temperature: -20 °C to 70 °C

Why choose it

OM5 fiber extends the reach of multimode links beyond OM4, enabling 100G SWDM4 transceivers to operate over longer distances. The LSZH jacket reduces toxic smoke in case of fire, making it suitable for enclosed spaces. Lime green color aids quick identification in dense patching fields.

Ideal use cases

• 40G/100G Ethernet backbone connections
• High-density data center patching
• Fibre Channel SAN links
• Telecom central offices

Good to know

The cable is compliant with TIA/EIA-568-C.3 and IEC 60793-2-10 Type A1a.4. It is RoHS and CE marked. The A-B polarity ensures proper transmit/receive alignment between transceivers.
