Optical Cable Corp. D5LC-LC-15M Fiber Optic Patch Cable 50um

Product Description

The OPTICAL CABLE CORP. D5LC-LC-15M is a duplex multimode fiber optic patch cable terminated with LC connectors on both ends. It uses 50-micron (50um) multimode fiber and spans 15 meters, making it suited for structured cabling runs between active network equipment, patch panels, and fiber distribution frames. The orange jacket color identifies it as a multimode cable per standard convention. Licensed electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians are the typical installers for this type of assembly.

This patch cable is used in commercial and light-industrial fiber optic network installations where duplex LC-to-LC connectivity is required. Typical applications include connecting switches, transceivers, and media converters in data centers, telecommunications rooms, and enterprise LAN environments. The 15-meter length accommodates mid-range horizontal or vertical runs within equipment rooms and structured cabling topologies.

Key Features

• Duplex LC to LC connector configuration for full-duplex fiber links
• 50-micron multimode fiber core for compatibility with common multimode transceivers
• 15-meter cable length for mid-range equipment room runs
• Orange jacket color indicating multimode fiber per industry convention
• Factory-terminated assembly requiring no field polishing or splicing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cable for use with LC-port multimode fiber optic equipment including switches, media converters, and patch panels accepting 50um multimode fiber.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage technicians or electricians in accordance with applicable local codes and TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Handle fiber bend radius carefully to avoid signal degradation — do not kink or over-bend the cable during routing. Clean LC ferrules before mating using approved fiber optic cleaning tools. Always inspect connectors with a fiber scope before connecting to active equipment.
