StarTech 5m Multimode Fiber Cable OM1
Product description
This StarTech 5m multimode fiber patch cable links fiber network gear for reliable, low‑interference data transfers. It combines an LC connector on one end with an SC connector on the other, and uses OM1 62.5/125 multimode fiber with an LSZH jacket for safer deployment in enclosed spaces.
Key features
Built for straightforward connectivity, the cable supports short‑range multimode links common in data closets and campus networks. The LSZH sheath reduces toxic smoke and halogen release according to manufacturer design, which helps meet safety expectations in busy or confined installations. The duplex construction carries two fiber strands, enabling full duplex communications and easier pairing with transceivers that require LC to SC connections.

Usage tips
Handle the cable gently to avoid tight bends that can raise attenuation, and keep connector end caps on until installation to prevent contamination. If you need to run fiber through cable trays or plenum paths where lower smoke and halogen output is required, the LSZH jacket provides an advantage over standard PVC. It’s a great fit if you need a simple LC to SC multimode jumper for short runs and safe indoor routing.
Care & maintenance
Wipe connectors with a lint‑free swab and approved fiber cleaner before mating, and store coiled loosely to prevent microbending. Note that OM1 multimode fiber is optimized for short distances, so verify transceiver compatibility when planning longer links. StarTech 5m Multimode Fiber Cable OM1 is a practical choice for patching in data closets and campus labs, offering predictable performance and safer cable jacket properties. 🛠️🔌
