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.
