MicroConnect FIB5510100 OM5 Fibre Optic Cable, 100m, LC to LC Connectors

The MicroConnect FIB5510100 is a high-performance 100-meter OM5 fibre optic cable engineered for reliable, high-speed data transmission in demanding networking environments. As a WideBand MultiMode Fiber (WBMMF) solution, this cable is specifically designed to handle the increasing bandwidth requirements of modern enterprise infrastructure and professional data centers. Featuring a 50 µm core diameter and full-duplex functionality, it ensures stable and efficient optical signal integrity over long distances.

Advantages

This OM5 fibre optic cable offers superior performance by supporting higher bandwidth capacities compared to traditional multimode standards. The inclusion of a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket provides enhanced safety by reducing toxic emissions and smoke in the event of a fire, making it suitable for installations where safety regulations are strict. Its flame-retardant properties and RoHS compliance ensure that the cable meets modern environmental and safety standards, while the precision-engineered LC connectors guarantee a secure and reliable connection for critical network hardware.

Suitable for

• Professional data center infrastructure
• High-speed enterprise networking
• Computer centers and server rooms
• Industrial network installations requiring high bandwidth

This cable may not be suitable for long-haul telecommunications networks that require single-mode fibre optics, as it is specifically designed for multimode applications. Additionally, it is not intended for outdoor environments without appropriate protective conduit, as the standard jacket is optimized for indoor use.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 100 m
• Fibre type: OM5 (WideBand MultiMode)
• Connectors: LC to LC
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Configuration: Full duplex
• Fibre standard: G.652.D

To use this cable, ensure that both your networking equipment and transceivers are compatible with OM5 multimode fibre standards. Carefully remove the protective caps from the LC connectors immediately before installation to prevent dust or debris from contaminating the optical surface. Insert the connectors into the corresponding ports until a click is heard, ensuring a firm connection. Route the cable through cable management trays or conduits, taking care to avoid sharp bends that could exceed the minimum bend radius and damage the internal glass fibres.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network hardware supports LC interface connections
• Ensure the 100-meter length is sufficient for your specific cable run
• Confirm that your transceivers are compatible with OM5 multimode fibre
• Check if your installation environment requires specific fire safety ratings beyond LSZH

For optimal performance, always maintain clean connector end-faces and avoid excessive tension or tight bending during installation to preserve the integrity of the optical signal.
