High-Speed SWDM Connectivity
This OM5 cable supports SWDM across 850-953nm wavelengths. It enables 40G and 100G transmission over standard multimode fibre. Because it uses VCSEL technology, signal quality remains stable over longer distances than OM4. You can upgrade your network without replacing existing fibre infrastructure.
Precision Engineering for Reliability
Precision-manufactured ceramic ferrules ensure correct fibre alignment. This minimises insertion loss and prevents connectivity issues. The UPC polish improves return loss characteristics compared to older PC techniques. So, you get a stable connection in high-density patch panels.
LSZH Safety for UK Installations
The LSZH jacket emits low smoke and zero halogen fumes when exposed to extreme heat. This makes it suitable for enclosed spaces like trains, aircraft, and industrial settings. It also meets strict building code requirements for residential and commercial installations across the UK.
Backward Compatibility with Legacy Networks
This 50/125µm duplex cable is fully backward compatible with OM4 and OM3 networks. It supports legacy 10G applications while future-proofing for 40G/100G upgrades. You can integrate it seamlessly into existing fibre environments without disruption.
Robust Construction and Performance
Each cable is individually tested for insertion loss against the TIA/EIA-568 standard. The operating temperature range is -20 to 60°C. This ensures reliable performance in varied UK data centre conditions. The 6cm bending radius protects the fibre core during installation.
