GoodConnections OM5 LC/LC duplex uniboot cavo patch in fibra ottica, 5m, LSZH, verde lime LW-U815LC5

High-density data centre links often suffer from cable congestion, polarity mismatches, and fire-safety concerns. This 5-metre GoodConnections OM5 duplex patch cable tackles all three: its uniboot design halves the cross-section of a conventional duplex cable, tool-less polarity reversal eliminates the need for re-termination, and the LSZH jacket keeps toxic smoke and corrosive gases out of your equipment room in the event of a fire. Supporting 100G Ethernet over multimode fibre, it is a future-ready link for spine-leaf architectures, server-to-switch connections, and storage networks.

Who is it for

Network engineers and data centre technicians who need reliable, high-bandwidth multimode connections in space-constrained racks. It suits enterprises upgrading to 40G/100G SR4 optics, as well as system integrators building SAN or LAN backbones where cable management and safety compliance are critical.

Main features

• OM5 wideband multimode fibre (50/125 µm) supports short-wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM), enabling 40G and 100G over a single pair of fibres.
• LC duplex uniboot connector with one boot for both fibres reduces cable volume and improves airflow in dense patch panels.
• Tool-less polarity reversal: simply swap the A/B positions in the connector to change from A-B to A-A polarity without special tools.
• LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) lime green jacket meets IEC 60332-1 flame retardancy and emits minimal smoke and toxic gases.
• Low insertion loss (≤0.2 dB typical) and high return loss (≥30 dB) ensure signal integrity for high-speed protocols.
• Bend-insensitive fibre with a minimum bend radius of 7.5 mm allows tight routing without performance degradation.

Tips

When reversing polarity, ensure both connectors are clean and free of dust before reassembly. Use the lime green jacket to quickly identify OM5 links in a mixed-fibre environment. For best performance, pair with OM5-compatible transceivers and keep bend radii above 7.5 mm during installation.
