Know before you buy
OM5 is a Wideband Multimode Fiber (WBMMF) designed to support Shortwave Wavelength Division Multiplexing (SWDM). This allows it to carry multiple signals at different wavelengths over a single fiber, significantly increasing bandwidth capacity for high-speed data center applications.
No, this is a simplex cable, which means it is designed for unidirectional data transmission. You would need two of these cables or a duplex patch cord if your specific network hardware requires a send-and-receive path.
Yes, as long as your equipment uses standard LC ports and supports 50/125 µm multimode fiber. It is a universal connector type widely used in modern switches, transceivers, and patch panels.
This cable is engineered to maintain high signal clarity and performance over its full 300-meter length. Because it is pre-terminated in a controlled environment, you avoid the signal loss risks associated with field-terminating fiber optic cables.
This refers to the physical dimensions of the fiber: 50 microns for the light-carrying core and 125 microns for the surrounding cladding. This is the industry standard for modern multimode fiber, ensuring compatibility with most high-speed networking hardware.
