Duplex Patch Cable Cross-Over LC–LC OM5 15 m LSZH 2 mm, EFB Elektronik

Duplex cross-over fiber patch cable with LC to LC connectors, designed for multimode OM5 environments. This 15 m cable features a slim 2 mm diameter and a low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket to limit toxic emissions in confined or sensitive spaces. The cross-over wiring and LC duplex connectors make it suitable for high-density optical panels, data center cross-connects and enterprise LAN links where compact routing and OM5 performance are required.

Advantages

The slim 2 mm duplex construction reduces cable bulk and simplifies routing in densely populated racks and trays. OM5 multimode fiber supports enhanced wideband performance for short- to medium-range multimode links, and the LC–LC connector pair provides a compact, widely used interface for modern transceivers and patch panels. The LSZH outer jacket minimizes smoke and halogen release in the event of fire, which is important for installations in public buildings, data centers and transport routes.

Suitable for

• Data center patching and cross‑connects in high-density racks
• Enterprise LAN multimode runs between switches and patch panels
• Optical links requiring OM5 multimode performance for short to medium distances
• Environments where LSZH cabling is specified for safety compliance

When it may not be suitable

This duplex OM5 cross-over cable is intended for multimode networks and short- to medium-range links; it is not suitable for long-haul singlemode applications or connections requiring singlemode transceivers. If an installation uses a different connector type or requires armored or outdoor-rated cabling, this indoor LSZH 2 mm cable may not meet mechanical or environmental requirements.

Key specifications

• Cable type: Duplex multimode OM5
• Connector type: LC to LC duplex, cross‑over wiring
• Length: 15 m
• Cable diameter: 2 mm
• Jacket material: Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen (LSZH)
• Color: lime green (typical for OM5 multimode)

How to use

Route the LC–LC duplex cable between LC ports on patch panels, transceivers or switch ports, respecting bend-radius recommendations to avoid fiber attenuation. Ensure connectors are clean before insertion to maintain optical performance. For cross‑connects, verify polarity and correct cross-over pairing at both ends to match network transceiver orientation. Secure the cable in cable management trays or strain-relief points to prevent undue tension on connectors.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that the network uses multimode OM5 fiber and LC connectors
• Verify required cable length and allow slack for routing and service loops
• Check environmental requirements to ensure LSZH indoor cable is appropriate
• Ensure connector polarity and cross-over wiring match your network design

Usage recommendations

Use this duplex LC–LC OM5 cable for short- and medium-distance multimode links in racks and patch panels; maintain connector cleanliness, observe minimum bend radius, and secure the cable to avoid stress on connectors for reliable optical performance.
