Fibre optic cable Tecline 85305 5 m LC Orange

The Tecline 85305 5 m LC Orange fibre optic cable is a single-mode appearance OM2 multimode strand designed for short to medium distance data transmission in structured networks. It has LC connectors on both ends and a 50 µm core diameter, enabling full duplex communication and high-speed signal transfer with low attenuation. The cable’s orange jacket identifies it as OM2 multimode fibre and offers flexibility and durability suitable for rack-to-rack, patch panel and active equipment connections in server rooms and network closets.

Advantages

This OM2 fibre cable combines a standardized 50 µm core with LC duplex connectors to deliver consistent optical performance and easy installation. The 5 m length provides sufficient reach for many internal cabling runs without excess slack, and the orange jacket improves visual identification among multiple fibre types. The LC connectors present a compact footprint for high-density patch panels, while the multimode design supports common multimode transceivers and equipment used in local area networks and data centers.

Suitable for

• Patch connections between switches, transceivers and patch panels in data centers
• Inter-rack and intra-rack cabling in server rooms
• Short to medium distance multimode links using LC duplex interfaces
• Environments where a standardized OM2 50 µm multimode fibre is required

Key specifications

• Cable type: Multimode fibre, OM2
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC, duplex
• Length: 5 m
• Jacket color: Orange
• Transmission mode: Full duplex

How to use

Route the fibre cable avoiding sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the minimum bend radius specified for multimode fibre during installation. Insert the LC connectors into the corresponding LC ports on networking equipment or patch panels until they click, ensuring correct orientation of the duplex clip if using keyed housings. For removal, depress the connector latch and pull straight out to avoid damaging the ferrule. Keep connector end faces clean and protected with dust caps when not in use; inspect and, if necessary, clean with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before mating to reduce insertion loss.

Usage recommendations

Use this 5 m OM2 LC duplex cable for short to medium length multimode links inside racks and between adjacent equipment. Avoid routing alongside high-voltage power cables to minimize potential interference in associated systems, and store spare cables coiled loosely to prevent microbends. When connecting to transceivers, confirm compatibility with OM2 multimode optical budgets and use proper cleaning practices to maintain signal integrity.
