Optical patch cable SC‑SC multimode 62.5/125 µm duplex, 5 m

Multimode optical patch cable SC‑SC multimode 62.5/125 µm duplex, 5 m is a ready‑to‑use fiber jumper with SC duplex connectors at both ends and a 5 meter jacketed multimode fiber core of 62.5/125 µm. It is intended for short‑range fiber runs in local area networks, patch panels and equipment interconnects where reliable multimode signal transmission for data, voice and video is required. The cable is pre‑terminated and cleaned for immediate installation, offering predictable attenuation and stable connections in structured cabling installations.

Advantages

This SC‑SC duplex multimode patch cable provides consistent optical performance with low insertion loss and standard multimode core dimensions (62.5/125 µm) suitable for legacy multimode transceivers and multimode links. The SC duplex connectors ensure secure push‑pull mating and straightforward polarity management. A 5 m length balances reach and manageability for racks, cabinets and patch panels, reducing the need for field termination and minimizing downtime during upgrades or maintenance.

Suitable for

• LAN backbone and horizontal patching in office and campus networks
• Interconnects between switches, routers, transceivers and patch panels
• Short‑reach multimode links for data, voice and video distribution
• Laboratory setups and test benches requiring standardized multimode cabling

• Jacket: standard flexible outer jacket for indoor use

How to use

Route the 5 m SC‑SC multimode duplex cable between the intended ports, ensuring connectors align with SC adapter openings and follow the correct polarity for transmit and receive pairs. Push the SC connectors into the adapters until they click and check for secure seating. Avoid tight bends and compressive forces on the cable jacket; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius during installation. If required, test the link with an optical power meter or multimode tester to confirm acceptable insertion loss and continuity before putting the link into operational service.

Usage recommendations

Store the fiber jumper coiled without sharp bends and protect open connector ends with dust caps when not in use. For best performance, clean connector endfaces with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before mating and periodically inspect for contamination. Use this 62.5/125 µm multimode cable with compatible multimode transceivers and equipment; for longer distances or higher bandwidth needs consider matching to graded‑index multimode or singlemode solutions.
