Description

StarTech LCLCL-5M-OM5-FIBER LC to LC OM5 Multimode Fiber Optic Cable

Overview

The StarTech LCLCL-5M-OM5-FIBER is a 5-meter (16.4 ft) duplex fiber optic patch cable designed for high-bandwidth network connections. It features LC connectors on both ends and utilizes OM5 multimode fiber, specifically engineered to support short-wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM) for applications requiring 40 Gbps and 100 Gbps Ethernet. This cable is essential for linking network devices like switches, routers, and servers in data centers or enterprise environments where high-speed data transmission is critical. The 50/125µm core/cladding diameter ensures efficient light transmission for these demanding applications.

Compatibility

This OM5 fiber optic cable is compatible with any network equipment featuring standard LC duplex connectors and supporting OM5 multimode fiber specifications. This includes, but is not limited to, high-speed network switches, transceivers (like SFP+, QSFP+, QSFP28), and network interface cards (NICs) from various manufacturers that require 50/125µm multimode fiber for 40GbE (40GBASE-SR4) and 100GbE (100GBASE-SR4) connectivity. It is also backward compatible with OM3 and OM4 fiber infrastructure for lower speed requirements.

Installation Notes

When installing, maintain a minimum bend radius of 5 cm (2 inches) for the 50/125µm fiber to prevent signal degradation or damage. Ensure connectors are clean before insertion into network devices. The duplex configuration requires two fiber strands for simultaneous transmit and receive operations.
