Good Connections Fiber Optic Patch Cable OM5 Wideband Multimode 50/125, SC to SC Duplex, LSZH 3mm, 3m, Lime Green

The Good Connections LW-803SC5 is a 3 m OM5 multimode duplex fibre patch cable with SC and SC connectors, made for short-reach multimode links between switches, servers, storage and patch panels.

It uses OM5 wideband multimode 50/125 µm fibre in a LSZH jacket of 3 mm, colour-coded lime green so the fibre type is recognisable in the rack. Every cable is 100% tested and ships with its own test protocol.

• 1 × fibre optic patch cable
• Dust caps fitted on the connectors
• Individual test protocol (each cable 100% tested)

• OM5 performs like OM4 on standard 850 nm SR optics and adds support for SWDM optics (e.g. 100G-SWDM4 up to 150 m) that run several wavelengths over one fibre pair.
• Connectors: SC on both ends — SC (square push-pull connector, common on patch panels, media converters, older switches and FTTH equipment).
• Length: at 3 m it covers patching within a rack or to the neighbouring rack.
• Polarity can be swapped on the duplex clip — if the link stays dark, reverse A/B at one end instead of buying another cable.
• LSZH jacket: low smoke and zero halogen when exposed to fire — the jacket normally required in offices, data rooms and public buildings.

• Single-mode optics (10GBASE-LR, 1000BASE-LX, BiDi LR, GPON) — they need OS2 single-mode fibre; a multimode cord will not give a reliable link.
• Ports other than SC — SC does not fit other connector types without a hybrid cord or adapter; check both ends of your link before ordering.
• Single-fibre BiDi optics with a simplex port — they take one fibre; use a simplex cord there.
• RJ45/copper ports — this cable carries light, so both ends need fibre ports or optical transceivers.
