Helos LC multimode fibre optic patch cable 5.0 m

Helos LWL LC Multi-Mode fiber patch cable, 5.0 m length, with LC connectors. Designed for short-range multimode optical network connections in data centers, telecom racks and LAN equipment. Provides reliable optical signal transmission between devices with LC ports, simplifying cabling and enabling flexible installation and maintenance.

Advantages

The Helos multi-mode fiber patch cable offers stable optical transmission and low insertion loss for short-distance links. Its LC connectors are compact and compatible with a wide range of network equipment, allowing dense port deployment in patch panels and transceivers. The 5.0 m length balances reach and cable management needs in rack- and cabinet-based installations. The cable is suitable for structured cabling environments and supports straightforward connection and replacement without specialized tools.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting equipment inside data centre racks and telecom cabinets
• LAN and enterprise network patching between switches, servers and transceivers
• Short-range multimode links for storage area networks and SAN fabrics
• Laboratory and test bench setups requiring reliable short optical runs

Key specifications

• Fiber type: multimode
• Connector type: LC on both ends
• Length: 5.0 m
• Typical application: short-range optical links in data centres and LANs
• Suitable for use with LC ports on transceivers, patch panels and network devices

How to use

Route the cable along existing cable management paths to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain. Insert each LC connector into the corresponding LC port until it clicks, ensuring ferrule alignment and secure seating. When removing, depress the connector latch and pull gently to avoid damage. Verify optical link status using the network device diagnostics or an optical power meter after installation. Store spare length coiled with a large radius to preserve fiber integrity.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tight bends and excessive pulling force; maintain bend radii recommended by multimode fiber standards. Use dust caps on LC connectors when not connected and keep connectors clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools. Choose multimode transceivers and patch panel components that match the fiber type to ensure compatible optical performance.
