Equip SC to SC Fiber Optic Patch Cable, OM1 Multimode Duplex 62.5/125µm, LSZH, Orange, 5m

The Equip 253325 is a 5 m duplex OM1 multimode fiber optic patch cable with SC connectors on both ends, built on 62.5/125 µm fiber with ceramic ferrules and an LSZH jacket — for patching SC-port media converters, switches and SC patch panels.

OM1 is the legacy multimode grade with a 62.5 µm core, usually orange. It is still found in older buildings and campus backbones; choose it to match existing 62.5/125 µm cabling, not for new installations, where 50 µm OM3/OM4 is the norm.

Connectors: SC (square push-pull — common on media converters, older switches and SC panels/outlets).

• Equip SC/SC duplex OM1 fiber optic patch cable, 5 m (1 piece)
• Individual measurement protocol (test report) for the cable

• Duplex = two fibers in one cable: one transmits, one receives. One cable connects one duplex port to one duplex port.
• 5 m reaches between neighbouring cabinets or from a panel to equipment a few metres away.
• LSZH jacket: low smoke, zero halogen — the usual requirement for cabling in offices, server rooms and public buildings.
• Each cable ships with its own measurement protocol — useful for documentation and acceptance tests.

• Single-mode optics (LR/LX, 1310/1550 nm) or single-mode (yellow) infrastructure — multimode and single-mode fiber cannot be mixed.
• 50/125 µm links (OM2/OM3/OM4/OM5) — joining 62.5 µm and 50 µm cores causes high loss.
• Copper RJ45 ports — fiber needs an optical transceiver (SFP module) or a fiber port on the device.
• Single-fiber BiDi transceivers or simplex-only ports — this is a duplex (two-fiber) cable.
• LC or ST ports — this cable is SC to SC; check the port at both ends before ordering.
