Fibre optic cable ShiverPeaks BS77935 5 m LC Orange

The ShiverPeaks BS77935 5 m LC Orange is a 5-metre OM2 multimode fibre optic cable with LC duplex connectors designed for reliable high-speed data transmission. With a 50 µm core diameter and full-duplex capability, this fibre patch cable is intended for short- to medium-range connections in data centres, telecom closets, and network equipment racks. The orange jacket provides easy visual identification for multimode links and helps keep cabling organized in dense installations.

Advantages

This OM2 fibre cable provides stable signal integrity for multimode applications and supports full duplex communication for simultaneous send and receive channels. The LC duplex connectors offer a compact footprint suitable for modern networking equipment, while the 5 m length balances flexibility and reduced attenuation for typical rack-to-rack or equipment-to-switch connections. The durable outer jacket resists handling and bending common in installation and maintenance scenarios.

Suitable for

• Short- to medium-range multimode links in data centres and server rooms
• Patch panels, network switches, and transceivers with LC ports
• Telecom cabinets and structured cabling where OM2 performance is sufficient
• Organized cable runs that require colour-coded identification

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Multimode (OM2)
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: LC duplex
• Length: 5 m
• Cable jacket colour: Orange
• Communication: Full duplex

How to use

Inspect connectors and ports for cleanliness before installation and, if necessary, clean end faces with appropriate fibre cleaning tools. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force; maintain minimum bend radius specified by the equipment or cable manufacturer. Insert LC connectors into corresponding LC ports until they click into place to establish the duplex link. Verify link status and perform optical power or continuity testing as part of commissioning.

Usage recommendations

Use the orange jacket as part of a consistent colour-coding scheme for multimode links. Avoid repeated tight bends and protect the cable from crushing or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. For runs longer than typical short-range connections, consider OM3/OM4 multimode or single-mode alternatives to meet performance or distance requirements.
