Fiber Optical Duplex Cable InLine LC/LC 50/125µm OM5 1m

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/LC 50/125µm OM5 1m is a single-meter duplex patch cable designed for high-speed optical data transmission. It uses 50/125 µm multimode fiber with OM5 specification and LC connectors on both ends to provide reliable bidirectional connectivity between networking devices. The compact LC/LC design and OM5 multimode core make the cable suitable for dense cabling environments where space and signal integrity are important.

Advantages

This duplex LC/LC OM5 cable delivers consistent multimode performance over short to moderate distances and supports modern wavelength division multiplexing techniques common in high-density networks. The 50 µm core diameter helps maintain modal bandwidth while providing compatibility with existing multimode equipment. LC connectors ensure a small form factor and easy insertion into LC ports. The 1 m length reduces excess slack in patching panels and helps maintain tidy cable management in racks and data center setups.

Suitable for

• Patch connections between switches, transceivers and servers in data centers
• High-density network racks and optical patch panels
• Applications requiring multimode OM5 fiber and LC connector interfaces
• Short-reach multimode links for storage and compute clusters

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM5
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector type (each end): LC duplex
• Cable configuration: Duplex (two fibers)
• Length: 1 m
• Polish/type: Factory-terminated multimode LC

How to use

Connect one LC connector to the transmitting port of the source device and the matching LC connector to the receiving port of the destination device, observing transmit/receive orientation for duplex links. Route the 1 m cable through the patch field or cable management system without sharp bends to avoid microbending losses. Use appropriate dust caps when connectors are not in use and inspect connector endfaces for cleanliness before mating to prevent signal degradation.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid bending the cable with a radius smaller than the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius, keep connectors clean using lint-free wipes and approved cleaning fluids, and use the 1 m length for short patching runs within racks or between adjacent patch panels. Verify compatibility of OM5 multimode fiber with connected transceivers and follow standard optical installation practices for testing and certification.
