Brief Introduction
The color of OM5 fiber cable is usually lime green. OM5 fiber wideband multimode bend insensitive fiber optimized for multi-wavelengths transmission systems operating in the range of 850-950nm, enabling optimal support of emerging Shortwave Wavelength Division Multiplexing (SWDM) applications that reduce parallel fiber count by at least a factor of four to allow continued use of just two fibers (rather than eight) for transmitting 40 Gb/s and 100 Gb/s and reduced fiber counts for higher speeds.
OM5 fiber meets TIA-492AAAE and draft IEC 60793-2-10 A1a.4 requirements while completely backward compatible with existing OM4 networks and applications. It meets RoHS compliant and the fiber patch cord is optically tested for insertion loss to ensure high quality.

| For duplex patch-cord, the connectors with clip or without clip? Before confirm the order, it's necessary to confirm the connector with clip or wothout clip. Generally speaking, duplex cable(2-core fiber) is equipped with duplex LC connector with clip, if it is matched with simplex connector, this needs special note. |  |
 | Duplex LC Connector type The LC connectors are available in a variety of styles as the picture show: ①This is the most commonly used and the largest number of connectors. ②The LC-HD(High Density), is a totally unique desigh which can increase panel density to its highest possible. ③One 2.0mm cable with two core fiber inside and short BOOT, two connectors can change polarity with each other. ④Uniboot LC connector, the LC is a small form factor (SFF) connector and is ideal for high density applications. |
How to choose fiber? What is the difference about Several type multimode fiber?
OM4 and OM3 fiber are Gigabit fiber, various performance indexes is better than OM1 and OM2.
