Newlink 3m LC-LC OM5 Fiber Optic Cable, 50/125um, LSZH

The Newlink 3m LC-LC OM5 fiber optic cable is a high-performance networking solution designed for modern data centers and high-speed enterprise environments. Featuring a 50/125um core and cladding architecture, this cable is specifically engineered to support advanced data transmission requirements. The lime green Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket provides both easy identification and enhanced safety by reducing toxic emissions in the event of fire.

Advantages

This OM5 fiber optic cable offers significant performance improvements over traditional OM3 and OM4 standards. By utilizing wideband multimode fiber technology, it enables higher bandwidth capacity and supports longer transmission distances for high-speed applications. The inclusion of an LSZH jacket ensures compliance with strict safety regulations, making it a reliable choice for enclosed spaces where fire safety is a priority. Its precise LC-LC connectors ensure a secure and stable connection for critical network equipment.

Suitable for

• High-speed data center network backbones
• Enterprise-level server-to-switch connections
• High-bandwidth storage area networks
• Environments requiring strict fire safety standards

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for long-distance outdoor installations or direct burial applications, as it lacks the necessary environmental protection. It is also not compatible with single-mode fiber optic equipment.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 3 meters
• Fiber type: OM5 multimode
• Core/Cladding diameter: 50/125um
• Connector type: LC to LC
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Jacket color: Lime green

How to use

To install the cable, carefully remove the protective dust caps from the LC connectors. Align the connector with the corresponding port on your network switch or transceiver module and insert it until you hear a click, indicating a secure lock. Ensure the cable is routed through appropriate cable management systems to avoid sharp bends or excessive tension, which could degrade signal quality.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network hardware supports OM5 multimode fiber standards
• Ensure the 3-meter length is sufficient for your specific rack or equipment layout
• Check that your equipment ports are compatible with LC-type connectors

Usage recommendations: Always inspect the fiber connector tips for dust or debris before insertion. Use a fiber optic cleaning tool if necessary to maintain optimal signal integrity and prevent damage to the transceiver optics.
