Improve the throughput capabilities of SWDM applications over an OM5 fiber network

The LC to LC OM5 duplex multimode fiber optic patch cable facilitates connectivity in 40G and 100G networks. It supports SWDM (Short Wavelength Division Multiplexing) over an extended 850-953 nm VCSEL wavelength range, which improves signal quality and throughput capacity over OM4.

Designed for Optimal Performance

Precision-manufactured ceramic ferrules ensure correct fiber alignment to prevent connectivity issues and minimize insertion loss. Engineered for reliability in high-density network applications, the LC to LC UPC polished fiber ends greatly improve return loss characteristics over older PC polishing techniques. The laser-optimized multimode (LOMMF) OM5 fiber patch cable is ideal for 850-953 nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) and 1300 nm LED sources.

Compatibility

This 50/125µm multimode fiber optic patch cable is backward compatible with 10G OM4 and OM3 networks, ensuring a reliable connection in legacy fiber environments.

LSZH Cable Jacket

Encased in an LSZH (Low-Smoke, Zero-Halogen) flame-retardant jacket, the OM5 fiber cable emits low smoke and toxic gases when exposed to extreme heat or in the event of a fire. This enables safer cable installations in poorly ventilated areas, including some industrial environments, self-contained environments such as trains and aircraft, as well as residential settings where building code compliance must be considered.

Each OM5 fiber cable is also individually tested for insertion loss performance to meet or exceed TIA/EIA-568 industry standards, to ensure compatibility and 100% reliability.
