Fiber optic cable OM5 SC-SC Duplex 10m multimode

Fiber Optic Cable OM5: High-End Connection for Maximum Bandwidth

General Information: The fiber optic patch cable OM5 Duplex 50/125 µm with SC-SC connectors is the ideal solution for modern network infrastructures requiring a reliable and high-performance connection.

Function: This cable enables high bandwidths in data centers and building networks. Thanks to its duplex design with 2 fibers, it is perfectly suited for bidirectional data transmission (send/receive).

Application: This multimode patch cable (SC-SC) is used for connections between patch panels, network switches, media converters, or distributors in indoor environments. The lime green color ensures the OM5 category is immediately recognizable within the cabling.

Material: High-quality fiber optic cable featuring an LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket, which emits very little smoke in the event of fire. The connectors are finished with UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polishing for stable and optimal optical contact.

Technical: This OM5 Multimode 50/125 cable has an outer diameter of 2 mm. The minimum bending radius is 10 x OD (static) and 20 x OD (dynamic). It is rated for operating temperatures from -20 to +60 °C and includes clip-on strain relief boots.

Conclusion: If you are looking for a robust fiber optic cable for short to medium distances that combines high performance with maximum safety through LSZH material, this SC-SC patch cable is the ideal choice.

FAQ

What does SC mean for a fiber optic patch cable?

The SC (Subscriber Connector) is a square-shaped plug with a push-pull locking system. Equipped with a 2.5 mm ferrule, it is a standard in fiber optic networking due to its simplicity, security, and durability.

Is an SC-SC patch cable compatible with other connector types?

No, an SC-SC fiber patch cable only fits SC ports. For LC, ST, or other interfaces, the corresponding cable types must be used.

How many mating cycles can an SC-SC connector handle?

High-quality SC connectors are designed for approximately 500 to 1,000 mating cycles. Beyond this, the ceramic ferrule may wear down or develop micro-scratches, which degrades optical performance (insertion loss).
