InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/SC 50/125µm OM5 15m

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/SC 50/125µm OM5 15m is a high-performance networking solution designed for efficient and dependable high-speed data transmission across enterprise environments and modern data centers. Built with precision, this multi-mode fiber optic cable utilizes advanced OM5 fiber technology and features a 50/125 micrometer core diameter to support demanding bandwidth requirements. Measuring 15 meters in length, it provides ample reach for connecting network hardware over medium distances while maintaining signal integrity. Equipped with two LC connectors on one end and two SC connectors on the other, it bridges different interface types seamlessly. The green cable jacket is constructed from low smoke zero halogen material, contributing to improved safety standards in enclosed server rooms and structured cabling installations.

Advantages

This duplex fiber optic cable delivers exceptional performance for high-speed local area networks and data storage systems. The inclusion of OM5 fiber allows for optimized wavelength division multiplexing, maximizing data throughput capabilities over extended distances compared to older fiber categories. Its robust multi-mode construction ensures reliable signal transmission with minimal attenuation. The halogen-free low smoke jacket enhances safety by reducing toxic fume emissions in the event of a fire, making it suitable for sensitive institutional and corporate buildings. Additionally, the inclusion of a factory test report guarantees operational readiness straight out of the packaging.

Suitable for

• Connecting network switches and routers equipped with LC and SC interfaces
• Data center structured cabling and high-density patching
• Enterprise local area networks requiring high bandwidth capacity
• Telecommunication and server room installations over medium distances

This cable may not be suitable for long-distance telecommunications spanning multiple kilometers, as multi-mode fiber is engineered specifically for shorter premises applications. It is also incompatible with networking hardware that exclusively utilizes single-mode transceivers or non-matching connector types such as ST or MTP without appropriate adapters.

• Connector 1: 2x LC male
• Connector 2: 2x SC male
• Design: Full duplex
• Jacket material: Low smoke zero halogen (LSZH)
• Cable color: Green

How to use

Before installation, inspect the connectors and the cable length to ensure compatibility with your network layout. Carefully remove the protective dust caps from both the LC and SC plugs immediately prior to insertion. Align the connector key with the corresponding port on your network device, such as a switch or media converter, and gently push until a secure click is felt. Avoid excessive bending, sharp angles, or crushing weights along the 15-meter run to prevent damage to the internal glass fibers and maintain optimal signal performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your networking hardware supports OM5 multi-mode fiber specifications
• Check whether your equipment requires 2x LC and 2x SC connector types
• Measure the distance between devices to ensure the 15-meter length is sufficient
• Confirm that your installation environment adheres to standard structured cabling practices

Usage recommendations: Handle the fiber optic connectors with extreme care and avoid touching the polished end faces to prevent signal degradation caused by dust or oils. Route the cable safely away from high-traffic walkways and sharp edges, securing it loosely with cable management ties to protect the structural integrity of the 50/125µm fiber strands.
