StarTech.com OM5 LC to LC Duplex Multimode Fiber Optic Patch Cable - 2 Meters

StarTech.com 2m (6.6ft) LC to LC (UPC) OM5 Multimode Fiber Optic Cable, 50/125µm Duplex Zipcord, 40G/100G, LSZH Fiber Jumper Cord

The StarTech.com LCLCL-2M-OM5-FIBER is a high-performance duplex fiber optic patch cable designed for advanced network environments supporting 40G and 100G data rates. Engineered with OM5 laser-optimized multimode fiber, this cable extends the capabilities of traditional OM4 cables by supporting an extended wavelength range of 850-953nm, enabling SWDM (shortwave wavelength division multiplexing). This feature enhances channel capacity and overall network performance, making it ideal for high-bandwidth applications such as data centers, enterprise networks, and high-speed storage area networks. The cable's construction ensures low insertion loss and high signal integrity, with precision-manufactured ceramic ferrules that guarantee proper fiber alignment and minimize connectivity issues. The LC to LC UPC polished connectors improve return loss characteristics, ensuring reliable connections and optimal signal quality in densely populated network racks and cabinet setups. The Zipcord design with color-coded connectors simplifies polarity management during installation, while the bend-insensitive fiber core housed in an Aramid-reinforced jacket allows for tight bends (minimum radius of 3 inches unloaded), facilitating flexible routing in confined spaces. This cable is backward compatible with OM4 and OM3 networks, providing seamless integration into existing infrastructure. The LSZH (Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen) jacket enhances safety by emitting minimal smoke and toxic fumes if exposed to high temperatures or fire, making it suitable for installations in enclosed or poorly ventilated environments such as industrial facilities, transportation, and residential buildings. Each cable undergoes individual testing for insertion loss performance according to industry standards, with test reports supplied for quality assurance. With a lifetime warranty, the StarTech.com OM5 fiber optic patch cable offers durability, reliability, and advanced performance for high-speed fiber optic networks, ensuring future-proof connectivity and peace of mind for your critical network infrastructure.
