SWDM Support for 40G/100G Networks
This OM5 cable supports Shortwave Wavelength Division Multiplexing (SWDM). It operates across 850–953 nm VCSEL wavelengths. This capability allows higher data throughput over fewer strands. It is a practical upgrade from OM4 for dense network environments.
Precision Alignment and Low Loss
Precision ceramic ferrules ensure accurate fibre alignment. This minimises insertion loss and prevents connectivity issues. The UPC polish improves return loss compared to older PC techniques. So, signal integrity remains stable across the full 15-metre run.
Backward Compatibility with Legacy Setups
This 50/125µm duplex cable is backward compatible with OM4 and OM3 networks. It supports legacy 10G infrastructure while readying for future upgrades. You can integrate it into existing fibre plants without immediate replacement. However, verify your current patch panel ports match the LC interface.
LSZH Safety for UK Installations
The LSZH jacket emits low smoke and zero halogen when exposed to heat. This is critical for poor-ventilation areas like trains, aircraft, or industrial settings. It helps meet UK building code requirements for fire safety. Always confirm local compliance standards before installation.
Robust Mechanical Design
The cable features a 6 cm bending radius for tight routing. It operates between -20°C and 60°C for versatile deployment. The 2.9 mm diameter supports high-density patching. Connector genders are male for standard LC ports.
