InLine glasvezel-duplexkabel LC/SC 50/125µm OM5 20 m

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/SC 50/125µm OM5 20m is a multimode duplex fiber patch cable designed for high-bandwidth, short-range optical connections. It has a 50 µm core diameter and OM5 specification for improved modal bandwidth, and it terminates in two LC connectors on one end and two SC connectors on the other to support full duplex links between switches, transceivers and active equipment. The 20 meter length supports flexible installation in server rooms, data cabinets and structured cabling runs while maintaining low insertion loss and consistent signal integrity.

Advantages

This duplex fiber cable offers standardized OM5 performance for multimode applications and a 50/125 µm core/cladding geometry for compatibility with many multimode transceivers. The LC to SC combination ensures interoperability with devices using either connector type without additional adapters. The cable construction is optimized for low attenuation and repeatable connector performance, enabling reliable short-range high-speed data transmission and simple installation in rack or wall-mounted systems.

Suitable for

• Connecting multimode transceivers and optical equipment in data centres and server rooms
• Structured cabling between switches, patch panels and optical modules
• Short-range high-bandwidth links such as 10G/25G/40G multimode networks where OM5 modal support is required
• Laboratory and test bench setups requiring duplex LC to SC connections

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM5
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector A: LC duplex
• Connector B: SC duplex
• Cable length: 20 m
• Mode: Duplex (two fibers)
• Typical attenuation: low multimode attenuation suitable for short-range links

How to use

Route the cable between the two devices ensuring there is no excessive bending or tensile stress on the fiber. Insert the LC duplex connector into the LC receptacle and the SC duplex connector into the SC adapter or port, observing correct polarity for transmit and receive channels to establish full duplex communication. Secure the cable along racks or cable management panels to avoid sharp bends; verify link status on connected equipment and measure insertion loss if required to confirm signal performance.

Recommendations

Use the cable in controlled indoor environments and avoid repeated or excessive flexing. Maintain minimum bend radius as specified by multimode fiber guidelines, keep connectors clean using suitable fiber cleaning tools, and store the cable on appropriate reels or hangers when not in active use to prolong service life and ensure consistent optical performance.
