InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable SC/SC 50/125µm OM5 3m

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable SC/SC 50/125µm OM5 3m is a high-performance network cable designed to deliver reliable high-speed data transmission in professional environments. Measuring 3 meters in length, this multi-mode duplex fiber optic cable features standard SC connectors on both ends, making it suitable for direct connections between compatible networking hardware. Engineered with advanced OM5 fiber technology, it supports modern high-bandwidth applications and ensures stable, efficient full duplex optical performance for demanding setups.

Advantages

This fiber optic cable utilizes premium OM5 multi-mode fiber with a 50/125µm core diameter, allowing for extended reach and higher bandwidth capacity compared to older fiber standards. The inclusion of low smoke zero halogen jacket material enhances safety by minimizing toxic emissions in the event of a fire, making it compliant with strict building regulations. Each cable comes with an individual test report verifying its quality, and the reliable SC connectors ensure secure, low-loss physical connections for continuous network operation.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers, and patch panels in enterprise data centers
• High-speed telecommunications and local area network installations
• Professional networking environments requiring full duplex optical performance
• Applications utilizing modern OM5 multi-mode fiber infrastructure

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not compatible with network equipment that requires single-mode fiber connections or different connector types such as LC or ST without appropriate adapters or converters. Additionally, the 3-meter length may be insufficient for long-distance runs between separate rooms or buildings, where longer structured cabling or specialized transceivers would be required.

How to use

Carefully unpack the duplex cable from its packaging and inspect the connectors for any visible dust or debris before installation. Remove the protective dust caps from the SC connectors on both ends of the cable. Align the connector carefully with the port on your network device, such as a switch or transceiver, and push it straight in until you hear or feel a secure click. Route the cable gently along designated pathways or cable trays, ensuring it is not subjected to sharp bends, excessive tension, or heavy crushing forces that could damage the internal glass fibers.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network hardware uses SC ports and supports multi-mode OM5 fiber optics
• Check the required cable length to ensure 3 meters is sufficient for your specific routing path
• Confirm whether your installation environment requires low smoke zero halogen safety ratings

Always inspect and clean fiber optic connector end-faces with specialized cleaning tools before making connections to ensure optimal signal integrity and prevent microscopic contamination from damaging network hardware.
