Optický patch kabel helos 50/125µm OM5 LC duplex 2,0 m

Duplex fiber patch cable helos LWL 50/125µm OM5 LC Duplex 2.0 m is a multimode optical patchcord designed for short to medium reach networks. It features 50/125 µm OM5 graded‑index multimode fiber and LC duplex connectors in a 2.0 metre length, providing standardized multimode performance for high‑speed data transmission in LANs, data centers, and audiovisual installations. The cable supports simple plug‑and‑play connection between equipment with LC interfaces and is suitable for multimode transmission systems where OM5 bandwidth and wavelength‑division multiplexing improvements are required.

Advantages

The helos OM5 LC duplex patch cable combines compact LC connectors with OM5 multimode fiber to deliver consistent insertion loss and return loss characteristics across standardized multimode wavelengths. Its duplex configuration enables simultaneous bi‑directional links using two fibers, and the 2.0 m length offers flexible placement between racks, switches and transceivers without excess slack. The cable construction aims to provide stable mechanical performance, easy handling and compatibility with common multimode transceivers and patch panels.

Suitable for

• LAN backbone and horizontal patching in office networks
• Data centre top‑of‑rack and equipment interconnects
• Audiovisual signal distribution and media systems
• Short to medium reach multimode links and multimode transceiver connections

Key specifications

• Fiber type: 50/125 µm OM5 graded‑index multimode fiber
• Connector type: LC duplex on both ends
• Configuration: Duplex (two fibers)
• Length: 2.0 metres
• Polishing: Standard multimode ferrule polish (typical UPC/PC multimode finish)
• Typical usage wavelengths: optimized for multimode wavelengths including shortwave laser sources
• Application: Short to medium reach multimode networks (LAN, data centre, AV)

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces for dust or contamination before connection and clean with an appropriate fiber‑optic cleaning tool if necessary. Align the LC connectors with the device or patch panel ports and insert until the latch engages; do not force. For duplex links, ensure correct polarity by matching transmit and receive channels according to the equipment documentation. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and compressive forces; maintain a bend radius in line with multimode fiber guidelines. When removing, depress the latch and pull straight out while supporting the connector to avoid strain on the fiber.

Recommendations

Store and handle the fiber patchcord in a clean environment to prevent contamination. Use dust caps when connectors are not in use, avoid sharp bends and excessive tensile load, and follow equipment vendor guidance for polarity and connector seating to ensure reliable multimode links.
