Hubbell FDLC5MM Fiber Optic Patch Cord

Overview

The Hubbell FDLC5MM is a 5-meter, Riser-rated, OM4 duplex fiber optic patch cord. It features LC connectors on both ends, making it suitable for high-bandwidth data center and enterprise network backbone connections where reliable signal integrity is paramount. The Riser rating ensures compliance for in-wall installations, preventing signal degradation over its 5-meter length.

Compatibility

This patch cord is designed for use with any network equipment featuring standard LC duplex fiber optic ports. It is compatible with OM4 fiber infrastructure, supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) up to 300 meters, 40GbE and 100GbE up to 150 meters, and is backward compatible with OM3 and OM2 cabling systems. Ensure your transceivers and network devices utilize LC duplex connectors for proper mating.

Installation Notes

Handle fiber optic connectors with care to avoid contamination. Use appropriate cleaning tools before connecting. Avoid sharp bends exceeding the minimum bend radius (typically 10mm for OM4) to maintain signal performance. The Riser (OFNR) rating is suitable for vertical runs in building plenums but not for air-handling spaces requiring plenum-rated (OFNP) cable.
