Network Cable Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OM5 50/125 µm SC/SC Limettengrün 15.0 m

The Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OM5 50/125 µm SC/SC in limettengrün, 15.0 m, is a multimode fiber patch cable engineered for reliable high-speed data transmission in structured cabling and network environments. With OM5 fiber core dimensions of 50/125 µm and duplex SC/SC connectors, the cable provides consistent signal integrity over moderate distances and supports wavelength-division multiplexing techniques where applicable. The limettengrün jacket identifies the OM5 multimode grade for easy identification in racks and fiber panels.

Advantages

This OM5 duplex patch cable delivers low insertion loss and controlled return loss thanks to precision-terminated SC connectors and standardized multimode fiber geometry. The 15.0 m length covers typical runs between patch panels, switches, and equipment, reducing the need for additional splicing. The bright limettengrün jacket simplifies identification and management within dense fiber installations. The cable construction balances flexibility for convenient routing and sufficient mechanical protection to maintain performance in normal office and data center environments.

Suitable for

• Data center horizontal and inter-rack connections
• Enterprise backbone and campus network links
• High-bandwidth applications using multimode fiber and shortwave wavelength multiplexing
• Patch panel-to-switch or switch-to-equipment connections

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM5 multimode, 50/125 µm core/cladding
• Connector type: SC to SC duplex
• Length: 15.0 m
• Jacket color: limettengrün (lime green) for OM5 identification
• Configuration: duplex patch cable (two fibers)
• Typical applications: multimode short- to medium-range data transmission

How to use

Install the cable by connecting each SC connector to the corresponding SC ports on patch panels, switches, or transceivers, ensuring proper alignment and that duplex polarity is maintained. Route the cable through cable management trays or Velcro ties to avoid sharp bends and tension; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for multimode fiber. Before final deployment, inspect connector endfaces for cleanliness and perform optical tests such as insertion loss and continuity checks to verify performance.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the OM5 fiber cable in a clean environment and avoid contaminating connector endfaces. Clean connectors with appropriate fiber cleaning tools prior to mating. Avoid tight bending and excessive pulling; follow standard multimode fiber handling practices to preserve low loss and long-term reliability.
