Specifications
100G Duplex Multimode 50/125 OM5 LSZH Fiber
Optic Cable (LC/LC), Lime Green, 15 m
MODEL NUMBER: N820-15M-OM5
Rated OM5, this 50/125 multimode fiber cable with duplex LC connectors carries signals in 40/100 Gb
Ethernet networks.
Features
Support Higher Bandwidths in Data Networks with OM5 Multimode 50/125 Fiber Patch CableAs the
amount of traffic in data networks grows, so does the need for next generation devices and fiber cables to
support higher bandwidths. Tripp Lite’s OM5 Duplex Multimode 50/125 Fiber Patch Cable is a wideband
multimode fiber (WBMMF) solution that supports at least four wavelengths in the 850-950 nm range. This
LC to LC multimode fiber optic patch cable is well-suited for 40/100 Gb Ethernet applications up to 300
meters (at 850 nm).
Use with VCSEL Light Sources for a Cost-Effective, High-Bandwidth SolutionThe N820-15M-OM5 is
a laser-optimized multimode fiber (LOMMF) cable designed for use with vertical-cavity surface-emitting
lasers (VCSELs) to offer a cost-effective, high-bandwidth solution over extended distances in the 850-950
nm wavelength range. It is commonly used in LANs, SANs and high-speed parallel interconnects for
head-ends, central offices and data centers.
Experience Reliable Performance with Premium ConstructionPremium materials ensure this
multimode fiber cable reliably carries data and voice signals. The cable has duplex male LC connectors
on each end and features a low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket that limits the amount of toxic smoke
emitted in case of combustion, making it suitable for poorly ventilated areas. The lime green color of the
jacket identifies the cable as OM5 rated. It meets current IEEE 802.3ae and TIA LOMMF standards.
Employ OM5 Cable for Backward Compatibility and Future ProofingRated OM5, the N820-15M-OM5
cable is backward compatible with existing OM3- and OM4-rated 50/125 fiber solutions. This LC to LC
multimode fiber optic cable can also be used with shortwave wavelength division multiplexing (SWDM)
technology to provide transmission over longer distances in the 850-950 nm wavelength range than OM3-
and OM4-rated cables. Plus, the OM5 cables will be compatible with SWDM solutions in future networks
with even higher bandwidths.
Lifetime WarrantyThe N820-15M-OM5 is backed by a lifetime limited warranty, ensuring reliability and
performance.
