Equip LC/LC glasvezel-patchkabel, OM5, 20m

The Equip LC/LC Fiber Optic Patch Cable OM5, 20m is designed for high-speed data transmission with a 50 µm core diameter and full duplex capability. This fiber optic patch cord offers reliable performance and durability for connections in data centres, server rooms, and structured cabling systems. LC connectors provide a compact interface that helps save rack and panel space while maintaining signal integrity.

Advantages

The cable is manufactured from high-quality materials to ensure low insertion loss, good return loss and consistent endface geometry. OM5 multimode fiber supports short-range high-bandwidth applications and multimode laser transmission, while the LC/LC termination allows for easy mating with standard LC ports. The 20 m length gives flexibility for device placement without additional splices or extensions.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches, patch panels and transceivers in data centres
• Server-to-switch and rack-to-rack connections
• High-density network installations requiring LC connectors
• Multimode short-range high-bandwidth links using OM5

How to use

Route the cable between the two devices ensuring bend radius guidelines are observed to avoid attenuation. Insert each LC connector into the corresponding LC port until it clicks into place, confirming a secure connection. For duplex links, match transmit and receive channels correctly. Avoid contaminating connector endfaces; if required, clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before mating.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable without sharp bends and protect connectors with dust caps when not in use. Use OM5-compatible transceivers and maintain proper patch panel organisation to ensure optimal performance and minimal insertion loss.
