ROLINE InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 0.5 m 2x LC Green OM5

The ROLINE InfiniBand/fibre optic cable 0.5 m 2x LC Green OM5 is a short, duplex multimode fibre patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in modern networking environments. With OM5 multimode fibre and LC duplex connectors, this 0.5 m cable provides reliable, low-latency links for server racks, switches, and storage systems where space is limited and signal integrity is essential.

Advantages

This OM5 multimode cable supports high-bandwidth applications over short distances and is optimized for wavelength-division multiplexing techniques, enabling increased data throughput on existing multimode infrastructure. The duplex LC connectors provide secure, standardized coupling with networking equipment. The short 0.5 m length reduces excess cable slack in dense cabling environments, improving airflow and rack management. The green jacketing identifies the OM5 fibre type for quick visual differentiation.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between servers and top-of-rack switches in data centres
• High-speed InfiniBand links for HPC clusters and storage networks
• Patching inside network cabinets and short-distance backbone runs
• Environments where reduced cable length improves cable management and airflow

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM5 multimode
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector: Duplex LC to LC (2x LC)
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Mode: Full duplex
• Jacket colour: Green (OM5 identification)

How to use

Align the duplex LC connectors with the corresponding LC ports on your devices, ensuring the keyed latch engages for a secure connection. Insert each connector gently until you feel the latch click; do not force the connector. For removal, depress the latch and pull straight out. Keep connectors capped when not in use to prevent contamination. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and compressive stress, maintaining the manufacturer-recommended minimum bend radius for multimode fibre.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, clean LC connector endfaces with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before connection, avoid sharp bends and kinks, and use this short OM5 duplex cable for inter-rack or intra-rack links where multimode fibre is already deployed. Verify compatibility of link transceivers and equipment to ensure intended InfiniBand or multimode optical performance.
