Overview
OM5 LC to LC Multimode Duplex Fiber Optic Patch cable facilitates connectivity across 40G and 100G networks. It supports SWDM (Shortwave Wavelength Division Multiplexing) across an extended wavelength range of 850-953nm VCSEL, enhancing signal quality and performance capacity over OM4. Precision-manufactured ceramic ferrules ensure correct fiber alignment to prevent connectivity issues and minimize insertion loss. Designed for reliability in high-density network applications, the LC to LC UPC polished fiber ends greatly improves return loss characteristics over older PC polishing techniques. The Laser-Optimized Multi-Mode Fiber (LOMMF) OM5 fiber patch cable is ideal for 850-953 nm Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSEL) and 1300 nm LED sources.
Technical Features
- OM5 Fiber Cable: Optimized for advanced 40/100Gbps fiber networks with extended 850-953nm wavelength support for SWDM, enhancing channel isolation and performance beyond OM4 cables.
- Quality Construction: LC/LC-UPC ends for improved return loss; zipcord design; color-coded connectors for polarity; bend-insensitive fiber core in Aramid-reinforced jacket with loaded bend radius 6cm and unloaded 3cm.
- Safety and Reliability: Individually tested with included test report; LSZH jacket emits low toxic fumes; attenuation <2.4dB/km meets or exceeds industry standards.
- Wide Compatibility: Supports 10/40/100G networks; backward compatible with OM4/OM3; high micro-bending resistance allows tight bends for fiber switches, servers, SANs, and SFP+/QSFP+/QSFP28 modules.
