Belden Inc. FP1LDSD005M OM1 Fiber Patch Cable Lc Sc

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. FP1LDSD005M is an OM1 multimode fiber optic patch cable configured with LC duplex connectors on one end and SC duplex connectors on the other. It is rated OFNR (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser), making it suitable for riser-rated installations where fire-code compliance is required. The cable measures 5 meters in length and is sold as a single unit. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use this cable to connect fiber optic equipment across patch panels, switches, and transceivers in structured cabling systems.

This patch cable is designed for multimode fiber optic runs in commercial and light industrial environments. Common applications include data center interconnects, telecommunications rooms, and building backbone cabling where OM1 62.5-micron multimode fiber is already deployed. The LC-to-SC duplex configuration supports equipment with mismatched connector types on either end, eliminating the need for additional adapters in mixed-connector environments. It is typically installed by low-voltage technicians and network infrastructure installers.

Key Features

• OM1 multimode fiber supports 62.5-micron core diameter for legacy and mixed-fiber installations
• LC duplex to SC duplex configuration for mixed-connector equipment connections
• OFNR riser rating meets fire code requirements for vertical cable runs between floors
• 5-meter length suits rack-to-rack and equipment-to-patch-panel runs
• Duplex construction carries simultaneous transmit and receive signals over a single cable assembly

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-use patch cable for multimode fiber optic systems utilizing OM1 infrastructure with LC and SC duplex port equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician familiar with fiber optic handling practices. Avoid sharp bends beyond the cable minimum bend radius, and keep connectors clean and capped when not in use to prevent contamination. OFNR-rated cables must be installed in compliance with applicable building and fire codes, including NEC Article 770 requirements for riser pathways. Do not use this cable as a substitute for plenum-rated (OFNP) cable in air-handling spaces.
