Network Cable Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OM5 50/125 µm LC/ST limettengrün 10.0 m

The Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OM5 50/125 µm LC/ST limettengrün 10.0 m is a multimode fiber optic patch cable designed for duplex connections in enterprise and data-center environments. It uses 50/125 µm OM5 fiber that supports wideband multimode transmission and is terminated with an LC connector on one end and an ST connector on the other. The 10.0 m length and lime-green (limettengrün) jacket make it suitable for visible routing and organized cable runs while maintaining low insertion loss for high-speed data links.

Advantages

This duplex patch cable provides low attenuation and consistent multimode performance across the specified wavelength range, enabling reliable high-bandwidth transmission. The mixed LC/ST termination offers flexibility for connecting equipment with different port types without additional adapter hardware. The OM5 fiber specification supports improved modal bandwidth for short- to medium-distance connections and is backward compatible with OM3 and OM4 systems.

Suitable for

• Duplex multimode connections in data centers and server rooms
• Interconnects between switches, transceivers and patch panels with LC and ST ports
• Short- to medium-range high-speed networking and storage area networks (SAN)
• Structured cabling where color-coded identification is required

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM5 multimode, 50/125 µm core/cladding
• Connector A: LC (duplex)
• Connector B: ST (duplex)
• Length: 10.0 meters
• Jacket color: limettengrün (lime green)
• Mode: Multimode duplex
• Typical use: High-speed short- to medium-distance links

How to use

Inspect connectors and cable ends for cleanliness before installation; clean if necessary using appropriate fiber cleaning tools. Route the cable along planned pathways avoiding sharp bends and excessive tensile stress. Insert the LC connector into the LC port and the ST connector into the ST port until each connector latches or seats properly. Verify link integrity and signal parameters with suitable fiber test equipment and monitor for acceptable insertion loss and return loss values.

Usage recommendations

Store the cable coiled without tight loops and avoid bending radii smaller than the manufacturer's minimum. Use dust caps when connectors are not in use and perform cleaning before mating. For optimal performance in high-density installations, label both ends and consider routing in dedicated fiber trays to reduce strain and maintain signal quality.
