10/100BASE-T SFPLC UPC to LC UPC Duplex OM5 Fiber Patch Cable
Singapore high-density designs should assess this item together with panel access, cable routing and the complete optical loss allowance. This OM5 fiber patch cable carries a LC UPC interface on one end and a LC UPC interface on the other, factory terminated on OM5 glass and optically tested as a full product. The duplex zipcord structure keeps the transmit and receive strands paired in one product for fast, error-free patching.

- Precision Zirconia Ferrule Connectors Ensure Low Loss
- Flame-Retardant Riser (OFNR) for Vertical and Floor-to-Floor Installations
- Color-Coded Cable Jacket for Easy Identification

Where OM5 makes sense today
The natural home of OM5 is the 40G and 100G SWDM4 interface and the newer 400G SR4.2 specification. For operators planning those interfaces, OM5 patching future-proofs the plant without changing connector practice. In Singapore facilities, this check should form part of the rack-access and acceptance review.
OM5 and wideband multimode
OM5 extends the multimode idea into the wideband range: beside 850nm, the fiber carries wavelengths up to 953nm, which lets SWDM optics put four lanes on a single duplex pair. A channel that would need eight fibers on OM4 runs on two with OM5 and the right optics, which changes the fiber count arithmetic of a whole row.
Length Options
Standard cable lengths cover the common patching routes: 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 10m (33ft), with custom length obtainable beyond the list. Specifying the measured pathway length keeps the slack out of the manager and the strain off these optical interfaces.
Quality Control and Testing
Each completed assembly is terminated with precision zirconia ferrule connectors and optically tested before packing: insertion loss and return loss are verified on each cable, and end-face geometry is inspected for consistent physical contact. This optical cable ships with dust caps on both connectors and the test result obtainable on ask for.
Ordering and Factory Support
Refer to this arrangement by connector pair, fiber mode and length during the request for a quotation. For configurations outside the listed options, mixed connector families, jackets, marking or project packaging, send the requirement with the enquiry and the factory will review the build before manufacturing begins. Singapore and regional project orders can be reviewed for interface compatibility, packing details and delivery coordination.
