Fibre optic cable Deltaco LCST-5M

The Deltaco LCST-5M is a 5-meter duplex fibre optic cable with 2x LC and 2x ST connectors and an LSZH outer jacket. Each channel has a 2 mm diameter and a multimode core diameter of 62.5 µm (OM1), designed for reliable full-duplex data transmission in short-range network links. The connectors are UPC polished with ceramic ferrules to ensure stable optical coupling.

Advantages

This fibre cable combines standard OM1 multimode performance with durable LSZH sheathing for reduced smoke and toxic emission in case of fire. The UPC-polished connectors and ceramic ferrules provide low back reflection and consistent insertion loss, while the duplex construction with 2 mm channel diameter simplifies handling and installation in patch panels and equipment ports.

Suitable for

• Short-range multimode network links (data centres, server rooms)
• Interconnection between switches, transceivers and patch panels
• Applications requiring LSZH-rated cabling for improved fire safety

• Bandwidth/speed: OM2 note — OM2: 200 MHz·km, 10 Gb/s up to 33 m (source info provided)

How to use

Connect the LC and ST ends to the corresponding ports on your devices or patch panels, ensuring correct orientation for duplex transmission. Handle the fibre gently to avoid tight bends or kinks; follow standard fibre optic installation practice when routing and securing the cable. Verify link status and optical power levels after installation to confirm correct connection and performance.

Usage recommendations

For best results, avoid bending the cable below the minimum bend radius, keep connectors covered when not in use to prevent contamination, and clean connector endfaces with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before mating. Although the cable uses OM1 fibre, note the OM2 performance details provided in the source: OM2 offers 200 MHz·km and supports 10 Gb/s up to approximately 33 m.
