Cavo in fibra ottica Alcasa LW-830LC5 30 m LC verde

The Alcasa LW-830LC5 30 m LC Green is an OM5 multimode fibre optic patch cable with LC connectors on both ends and a 50 µm core diameter. Designed for high-speed data transmission, this 30-metre cable provides reliable links between switches, servers and active equipment in structured cabling systems. The cable jacket is low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH), reducing toxic emissions in case of fire and making it suitable for installations in enclosed spaces where safety standards are a concern.

Advantages

This fibre patch cable offers multimode OM5 performance optimized for short to medium distance high-bandwidth links. The LC to LC termination provides compact, industry-standard connections compatible with modern transceivers and patch panels. The 30 m length balances flexibility and reach for data centre aisles and server room layouts, while the LSZH jacket enhances safety in confined or public buildings. The green jacket color allows easy identification of OM5 cabling within mixed multimode installations.

Suitable for

• Data centre interconnects and server-to-switch links
• High-performance computing (HPC) clusters and storage networks
• Patch panels and fibre management systems in structured cabling
• Short- to medium-reach multimode applications that require OM5 bandwidth

When it may not be suitable

This OM5 multimode cable is not intended for long-distance singlemode connections; for runs beyond the multimode effective range singlemode fibre should be used. It may also be unnecessary for simple home networks or low-bandwidth applications where cheaper multimode variants or copper solutions can suffice.

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM5 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC
• Length: 30 metres
• Jacket: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Jacket colour: green

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each LC connector into the corresponding LC port on network equipment or patch panels until the latch clicks. Route the cable through cable management channels or trays to avoid tight bends; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode fibre to prevent signal loss. For routine checks, visually inspect connector endfaces for contamination and clean with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before mating connectors. Label both ends as needed to reflect port assignments and maintain traceability in the rack.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that your equipment accepts LC connectors and supports multimode OM5 links.
• Evaluate the required transmission distance and bandwidth to ensure OM5 is appropriate.
• Verify installation environment requirements for LSZH jackets and colour-coding conventions.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep connector endfaces clean, avoid bending the cable beyond recommended limits, and use this 30 m LC–LC OM5 cable within patching and short backbone segments where multimode high-bandwidth transmission is required.
