The StarTech.com 25m (82ft) LC to LC (UPC) OM5 Multimode Fiber Optic Cable is designed to meet the demands of modern data centers and high-bandwidth network environments. With a data transfer rate of up to 100 Gbps, this duplex patch cable ensures efficient data transmission over long distances. It is OM5 compliant, supporting fiber optic technology and offering compatibility with future network upgrades.¦Constructed with safety and durability in mind, the cable features a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket to reduce the emission of toxic fumes and a bend-insensitive design to preserve signal integrity in tight spaces. Additionally, its Laser-optimized multimode fiber (LOMMF) with a core/cladding diameter of 50/125 micron is specifically engineered for optimal performance with VCSEL laser sources, making it an ideal choice for high-speed, quality network connections.
- OM5 FIBER CABLE: The OM5 LOMMF cable is optimized for 40/100 Gbps fiber optic networks. Extended 850-953 nm wavelength support enables SWDM (Short Wavelength Division Multiplexing) for greater channel isolation
- QUALITY CONSTRUCTION: LC/LC-UPC ends for better return loss than PC polishing - Color-coded connectors for polarity - Fiber core insensitive to bending, Aramid sheathing for a maggione bend radius
- RELIABLE: individually tested for guaranteed performance (testing included). LSZH sheathing emits low toxic fumes in case of combustion. Safe in poorly ventilated spaces. Attenuation value <2.4 dB/km meets/exceeds standards
- WIDE COMPATIBILITY: OM5 multimode cable supports 10/40/100G networks, compatible with OM4/OM3. High resistance to microbending facilitates bending in complex installations, ideal for fiber switches/servers, SANs and SFP+/QSFP+/QSFP28 modules
- SPECIFICATIONS: 25m - OM5 - LC/LC (UPC) - 50/125µm - 850-953nm VCSEL/1300nm LED - Modal bandwidth: 4700MHz.km (850nm), 2470MHz.km (953nm) - Insertion loss: ≤0.3dB - Return loss: ≥30dB - Cable Ø: 2.9mm - Bend radius: 3-6cm
Designed for Optimal Performance
Precision manufactured ceramic ferrules ensure proper fiber alignment to avoid connectivity problems and minimize insertion loss. Designed for reliability in high-density network applications, LC to LC UPC fiber end polishing greatly improves return loss characteristics over older PC polishing techniques. Laser-optimized multimode fiber patch cable (LOMMF) OM5 is ideal for 850-953 nm vertical cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) sources and 1300 nm LEDs.
Compatibility
This 50/125µm multimode fiber optic cable is backward compatible with OM4 and OM3 10G networks, ensuring a reliable connection in traditional fiber environments.
LSZH Cable Jacket
Encased in a flame-retardant LSZH (Low-Smoke, Zero-Halogen) sheathing, OM5 fiber cable emits little vapor and toxic fumes when exposed to extreme heat or in the event of fire. This enables safer cable installations in areas with poor ventilation, including some industrial environments, enclosed environments such as trains and airplanes, and residential environments where building code compliance must be considered. Each OM5 fiber cable is also individually tested to ensure insertion loss performance that meets or exceeds the TIA/EIA-568 industry standard for guaranteed compatibility and 100 percent reliability.
