Glasvezel-duplexkabel LC/LC InLine 88522Q 5 m OM5 50/125 µm

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/LC 88522Q 5m OM5 50/125µm is a multimode duplex patch cable designed for high-bandwidth short- to medium-range data links. With a 50 µm core and OM5 grading, the cable supports dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) and is suitable for data center and enterprise network environments requiring reliable full-duplex connections. Each end is fitted with two LC connectors to provide a compact, low-loss connection for transceivers, switches, servers and patch panels.

Advantages

This LC/LC duplex cable offers consistent multimode performance with low insertion loss and return loss characteristics appropriate for OM5 fiber. The 5 m length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack or rack-to-equipment routing while maintaining signal integrity. LC connectors ensure a small form factor and widespread compatibility with modern networking equipment. The OM5 specification extends multimode capabilities for shortwave wavelength division multiplexing, enabling higher aggregate throughput over the same fiber.

Suitable for

• Data center rack-to-rack and switch-to-transceiver connections
• Enterprise LAN backbone links and server farm interconnects
• High-bandwidth multimode applications using shortwave WDM
• Patch panel connections and fiber optic distribution frames

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM5
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC duplex (two fibers per end)
• Length: 5 meters
• Mode: Full duplex
• Typical applications: Shortwave WDM, multimode data links

How to use

Route the cable between compatible LC ports on network devices, taking care to maintain bend radii within the manufacturer's recommendations to avoid microbends and increased attenuation. Ensure connectors are clean before mating by using appropriate fiber cleaning tools to prevent contamination and loss. For duplex connection, match transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) ports according to device labeling. Secure the cable in cable management troughs or ties to prevent strain on connectors and transceivers.

Recommendations

Use this OM5 LC/LC duplex cable for short- to medium-range multimode links where small-form-factor connectors and support for shortwave WDM are required. Store and handle connectors with dust caps until installation, avoid tight bends and excessive tension, and verify link performance with appropriate fiber test equipment after installation.
