StarTech.com OM5 LC to LC Duplex Multimode Fiber Optic Patch Cable - 20 Meters

StarTech.com 20m (65.6ft) LC to LC (UPC) OM5 Multimode Fiber Optic Cable, 50/125µm Duplex Zipcord, 40G/100G, LSZH Fiber Jumper Cord

The StarTech.com LCLCL20MOM5FIBER is a high-performance OM5 multimode fiber optic patch cable designed for advanced 40G and 100G network applications. Engineered with extended wavelength support from 850 to 953 nm, this cable enables Shortwave Wavelength Division Multiplexing (SWDM), significantly increasing channel capacity and improving overall network performance. Its durable construction and precision manufacturing ensure reliable, high-quality connections in demanding environments. The cable features LC to LC UPC polished connectors, which offer superior return loss characteristics compared to traditional PC polishing, reducing signal loss and enhancing data integrity. Ideal for data centers, enterprise networks, and high-density server rooms, this fiber patch cable is optimized for modern high-speed fiber deployments.

Built with safety and durability in mind, the OM5 fiber cable is housed within a LSZH (Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen) jacket, making it suitable for installations in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces such as industrial facilities, transportation systems, and residential buildings. Each cable undergoes individual testing to meet or exceed industry standards, ensuring guaranteed performance and compatibility across a range of network environments. The bend-insensitive fiber core, reinforced with Aramid, allows for tight bends with minimal signal loss, facilitating flexible routing in complex installations. The cable's color-coded, zipcord design simplifies polarity management and installation, reducing setup time and errors.

Supporting backward compatibility with OM4 and OM3 networks, this cable ensures seamless integration with existing infrastructure while preparing for future upgrades. Its support for 10/40/100G networks makes it a versatile choice for various high-speed data transfer needs. The cable's low attenuation (under 2.4dB/km) and resistance to micro-bending provide reliable, high-performance connectivity even in challenging environments. Whether connecting fiber switches, servers, SANs, or high-speed modules, the StarTech.com OM5 fiber optic patch cable offers a robust solution for next-generation network deployments, combining safety, reliability, and top-tier performance in a single, easy-to-install package.
