LC UPC to LC UPC Simplex OM5 Fiber Patch Cable

Upgrade projects can use this configuration where its interface and fiber map align with both the installed cabling and the new hardware. 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 whole assembly. The single-fiber construction suits bidirectional optics, monitoring taps and any link that carries traffic over one strand.

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
• Ideal for Unidirectional Data Transmission

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 link 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. Upgrade teams can use this detail to compare the new assembly with the installed cabling records.

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. Upgrade teams can use this detail to compare the new assembly with the installed cabling records.

Normal length options cover the common patching routes: 1m (3ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 10m (33ft), 15m (49ft), with project-specific length available beyond the list. Specifying the measured route length keeps the slack out of the manager and the strain off the relevant connectors.

Each finished assembly is terminated with precision zirconia ferrule connectors and optically tested before packing: insertion loss and return loss are verified on every cable, and end-face geometry is inspected for consistent physical contact. The completed cable ships with dust caps on the two connectors and the test result available on request.

Refer to this configuration by connector pair, fiber mode and length when seeking a quotation. For configurations outside the listed options, mixed connector families, jackets, labelling or project packing, send the need with the inquiry and the factory will determine the build before the product is built. For upgrades, our team can compare the requested build with the existing environment before production begins.
