Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic cable meets OM5 category requirements with modal bandwidth of 4700MHz·km at 850nm and 2470MHz·km at 953nm. The UPC-polished LC connectors deliver improved return loss over PC polish, with insertion loss limited to 0.3dB and return loss of 30dB. The cable supports data transfer rates up to 100 Gbit/s, making it suitable for modern high-speed network infrastructure.
The bend-insensitive fiber core allows for tight installation bends with a loaded bend radius of 6cm (2.4 inches) and unloaded bend radius of 3cm (1.2 inches). The aramid-reinforced LSZH jacket provides mechanical protection while emitting low toxic fumes if combusted, meeting RoHS environmental compliance standards.

FAQ
What is the difference between OM5 and OM4 fiber cables?
OM5 fiber cable extends the wavelength support to 850-953nm compared to OM4's 850nm, enabling more efficient SWDM (short wavelength division multiplexing) for greater channel isolation. This allows OM5 to support higher data rates over the same fiber count while maintaining backward compatibility with OM4 and OM3 equipment. OM5 provides enhanced performance capacity for 40G and 100G networks.
What devices are compatible with this LC to LC OM5 fiber cable?
This cable is compatible with network devices, switches, and servers that support LC connectors and multimode fiber. It works with SFP+, QSFP+, and QSFP28 transceivers for 10G, 40G, and 100G applications. The OM5 specification ensures compatibility with existing OM4 and OM3 infrastructure while providing enhanced performance for modern high-speed networks.
What does LSZH jacket mean and why is it important?
LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen, a jacket material that emits minimal toxic fumes and smoke if combusted. This is particularly important in enclosed spaces like data centers or poorly ventilated areas where traditional PVC jackets could produce hazardous gases during a fire. LSZH jackets enhance safety for both equipment and personnel while meeting strict environmental regulations.
Can this cable handle tight bends during installation?
Yes, this cable features bend-insensitive fiber with a loaded bend radius of 6cm (2.4 inches) and unloaded bend radius of 3cm (1.2 inches). The aramid-reinforced jacket protects the fiber core while allowing tight bends in cable trays, around corners, and in complex routing situations without significant signal degradation. This makes installation in confined spaces much more practical.
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported by this OM5 cable?
This OM5 multimode fiber cable supports data transfer rates up to 100 Gbit/s, making it suitable for 40G and 100G network applications. The extended wavelength support (850-953nm) enables efficient SWDM implementation, allowing multiple channels over the same fiber pair. The cable is backward compatible with 10G networks and can be used with appropriate transceivers for various speed requirements.
What warranty comes with this StarTech.com fiber optic cable?
StarTech.com provides a lifetime warranty for this OM5 fiber optic cable. This comprehensive warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product. Each cable is individually tested with a performance report included, ensuring it meets or exceeds industry standards for attenuation, insertion loss, and return loss before shipment.
