Network Cable Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OM5 50/125 µm LC/SC Limettengrün 5.0 m

The Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OM5 50/125 µm LC/SC Limettengrün 5.0 m is a multimode fiber patch cord designed for high-speed networking links. Featuring OM5 grade 50/125 µm fiber and a duplex configuration, this 5.0 metre cable uses an LC connector on one end and an SC connector on the other to link equipment in data centres, telecom closets and campus backbones. The limettengrün (lime green) jacket enables quick visual identification of OM5 multimode cabling in structured cabling systems.

Advantages

This duplex OM5 patch cable provides wideband multimode performance suited to short- and medium-reach links, delivering stable attenuation and low insertion loss. The LC and SC connectors are factory-terminated and polished to ensure consistent optical contact and reduced signal reflections. The 50/125 µm core/cladding geometry supports high-density, short-reach applications while the durable jacket resists handling and rack-side stresses.

Suitable for

• Data centre interconnects and switch-to-switch links
• Telecommunications rooms and equipment patching
• Cable runs between optical transceivers and patch panels
• High-speed enterprise networks and storage area networks (SAN)

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM5 multimode
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Configuration: Duplex (two fibers)
• Connector ends: LC (one end) and SC (other end)
• Length: 5.0 m
• Jacket colour: Limettengrün (lime green)
• Typical applications: Short- to medium-reach multimode links

How to use

Inspect both connector endfaces for dust or contamination before insertion and clean with an appropriate fiber cleaning tool if needed. Route the duplex cable along existing cable management paths, avoiding sharp bends and tight radii to maintain optical performance. Plug the LC connector into the LC receptacle and the SC connector into the SC adapter or transceiver port until they click into place. Verify link status and measure insertion loss if required after installation.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable to prevent kinks and ensure minimum bend radius is respected. Use dust caps when connectors are not in use and follow standard multimode fiber handling procedures to maintain long-term performance. For mixed-fibre environments, label and segregate OM5 links by jacket colour to reduce the risk of accidental cross-connection.
