StarTech.com OM4 LC-LC LSOH Fibre Optic Patch Lead 5m

The StarTech.com OM4 LC-LC LSOH Fibre Optic Patch Lead 5m is a 5 m duplex fibre optic patch lead with aqua-coloured, laser-optimised OM4 multimode fibre, designed for demanding network environments.

The lead supports high-speed data transmission at 850 nm and 1300 nm wavelengths, making it suitable for use with VCSEL and LED sources. It is engineered for 40G and 100G network connections, supporting current and future bandwidth requirements.

Key Features

• Tool-less polarity switching using retractable, colour-coded strain-relief housings on the LC/UPC connectors
• Low-Smoke, Zero-Halogen (LSOH/LSZH) flame-retardant jacket
• UPC-polished connector ends
• Moulded strain reliefs to protect connection points from damage due to bending or pulling
• Outer diameter of 2.9 mm
• Operational temperature range of -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F)

Polarity Switching

Polarity can be reconfigured quickly without specialised tools, which suits high-density patching environments where flexibility and ease of management are important.

Safety and Compatibility

The LSOH/LSZH jacket is designed to significantly reduce the emission of smoke, toxic fumes, and corrosive gases in the event of a fire, supporting safety in a wide range of installations. It is suitable for industrial settings, central offices, data centres, schools, and residential buildings where strict fire safety codes must be adhered to. Backward compatibility with 50/125 micrometre fibre equipment supports integration into legacy local area networks (LANs), while the UPC-polished connector ends provide minimal back reflection and return loss for a stable optical link.

Dimensions and Weight

The product measures 3.3 (width) x 1.5 (depth) x 4.3 (height) and weighs 50 g.
