LC UPC to LC UPC Duplex OM5 Fiber Patch Cable

For site work, correct product selection should be followed by careful transport, connector inspection and retention of the fiber records. This OM5 fiber patch cable carries a LC UPC interface on one end and a LC UPC interface on the other, factory terminated on OM5 glass and optically tested as a complete unit. The duplex zipcord build keeps the transmit and receive strands paired in one unit for fast, error-free patching.

Product Highlights

• Bend Insensitive Fiber with 7.5mm Min. Bend Radius
• Precision Zirconia Ferrule Connectors Ensure Low Loss
• Flame-Retardant Riser (OFNR) for Vertical and Floor-to-Floor Installations
• Color-Coded Cable Jacket for Easy Identification
• Duplex Zipcord Construction Reduces Risk of Damage from Crimping

The natural home of OM5 is the 40G and 100G SWDM4 interface and the newer 400G SR4.2 specification. For operators planning those interfaces, OM5 patching future-proofs the plant without changing connector practice. Keep this requirement with the field checklist and the delivered product records.

OM5 extends the multimode idea into the wideband range: beside 850nm, the fiber carries wavelengths up to 953nm, which lets SWDM optics put four lanes on a single duplex pair. A connection that would need eight fibers on OM4 runs on two with OM5 and the right optics, which changes the fiber count arithmetic of a whole row.

Standard offerings cover the common patching routes: 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 10m (33ft), with customized length supplied beyond the list. Specifying the measured path length keeps the slack out of the manager and the strain off the installed connectors.

Every supplied assembly is terminated with precision zirconia ferrule connectors and optically tested before packing: insertion loss and return loss are verified on each cable, and end-face geometry is inspected for consistent physical contact. The supplied cable ships with dust caps on both connectors and the test result supplied on order.

Refer to this setup by connector pair, fiber mode and length when purchasing a quotation. For configurations outside the listed options, mixed connector families, jackets, labeling or project packaging, send the specification with the request and the factory will ensure the build before fabrication. The order details should include any site identification needed by the installation team.
