The StarTech LCLCL-5M-OM5-FIBER is a 5-meter (16.4ft) OM5 multimode fiber optic cable designed for high-speed network applications. This LC/LC-UPC cable is optimized for 100G networks and supports an extended 850-953nm VCSEL wavelength range, facilitating Shortwave Wavelength Division Multiplexing (SWDM). This capability provides enhanced channel isolation and performance compared to OM4 cables. It features UPC-polished ends to minimize return loss and includes molded strain reliefs for durability. The bend-insensitive fiber core is protected by an Aramid-reinforced Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket, allowing for a loaded bend radius of 6cm and an unloaded bend radius of 3cm. This cable is suitable for connecting fiber switches, servers, Storage Area Networks (SANs), and SFP+/QSFP+/QSFP28 units in data centers and enterprise environments requiring reliable, high-bandwidth optical connectivity.
This OM5 multimode fiber optic cable is optimized for 100G networks and also supports 40G applications, leveraging its extended VCSEL wavelength range for high-bandwidth performance.
The cable features LC/LC-UPC polished connectors on both ends, designed to provide minimal return loss for reliable optical connections.
The cable utilizes an Aramid-reinforced Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket. This material is beneficial in enclosed spaces as it emits less smoke and no toxic halogens when exposed to high heat or fire, enhancing safety.
The bend-insensitive fiber core allows for a loaded bend radius of 6cm and an unloaded bend radius of 3cm, which helps maintain performance in tight installations.
