Description

StarTech.com 20m LC to LC OM5 Multimode Fibre Optic Cable | 100G LSZH

The StarTech.com 20m (65.6ft) LC to LC (UPC) OM5 Multimode Fiber Optic Cable, 50/125µm Duplex LOMMF Zipcord, VCSEL, 40G/100G, LSZH Fiber Jumper Cord supports SWDM applications over OM5 networks. It is designed for IT professionals in UK data centres requiring reliable 40G or 100G connectivity. Because it uses LSZH jacket material, this cable is suitable for installations with strict fire safety regulations.

High-Speed SWDM Support

This OM5 cable facilitates Shortwave Wavelength Division Multiplexing (SWDM). It operates across 850–953 nm wavelengths for VCSEL sources. This capability allows you to transmit 40G and 100G data over fewer strands. Consequently, it optimises infrastructure utilisation in high-density environments.

Precision Alignment for Low Loss

Precision-manufactured ceramic ferrules ensure correct fibre alignment. The LC UPC polished ends minimise insertion loss and improve return loss. Because of this engineering, the cable maintains signal integrity in demanding network applications. It connects directly to LC ports on modern switches and transceivers.

Backward Compatibility

This 50/125µm duplex cord is backward compatible with OM4 and OM3 networks. You can deploy it in legacy 10G environments without issue. However, you must verify that your transceivers support OM5 specifications for optimal performance. It does not support single-mode applications.

Enhanced Safety with LSZH

The cable features a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket. In the event of extreme heat or fire, it emits minimal smoke and no toxic halogen compounds. This makes it a preferred choice for UK installations in confined spaces, such as trains or aircraft, and areas requiring compliance with specific building codes.

Robust Physical Design

With a bending radius of 6 cm, this cable resists tight turns that could damage the fibre. It operates reliably in temperatures ranging from -20°C to 60°C. The green duplex zipcord design aids in cable management and identification within complex racks.

Check before you buy

  • Confirm your network switches support OM5 multimode fibre specifications.
  • Verify that your SFP or QSFP transceivers use LC UPC connectors.
  • Ensure your installation environment adheres to LSZH fire safety requirements.
  • Check that the 20m length accommodates your rack layout without excessive slack.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this cable compatible with OM4 networks?
Yes, it is backward compatible with OM4 and OM3 10G networks for flexible deployment.
What is the maximum data transfer rate?
This cable supports data transfer rates up to 100 Gbit/s over appropriate transceivers.
Does the LSZH jacket affect cable flexibility?
LSZH provides fire safety benefits while maintaining flexibility for standard data centre routing.
What is the bending radius of this cable?
The specified bending radius is 6 cm, which helps prevent signal attenuation in tight spaces.
Are the connectors gender-specific?
Yes, both connectors are male LC types, designed for standard LC ports on network equipment.
