10/100BASE-T SFPLC UPC to LC UPC Simplex OM5 Fiber Patch Cable
New Zealand engineering teams can use the documented values below to compare the product with the intended channel and as-built requirements. This OM5 fiber patch cable carries a LC UPC interface on one end and a LC UPC interface on the other, factory terminated on OM5 glass and optically tested as a full item. The single-fiber design suits bidirectional optics, monitoring taps and any optical path that carries traffic over one strand.

OM5 and wideband multimode
OM5 extends the multimode idea into the wideband range: beside 850nm, the fiber carries wavelengths up to 953nm, which lets SWDM optics put four lanes on a single duplex pair. An optical path that would need eight fibers on OM4 runs on two with OM5 and the right optics, which changes the fiber count arithmetic of a whole row.
Where OM5 makes sense today
The natural home of OM5 is the 40G and 100G SWDM4 interface and the newer 400G SR4.2 specification. For operators planning those interfaces, OM5 patching future-proofs the plant without changing connector practice. New Zealand project teams can retain this information with the as-built documentation for later review.
Length Options
Regular length versions cover the common patching routes: 1m (3ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 10m (33ft), 15m (49ft), with made-to-order length offered beyond the list. Specifying the measured channel length keeps the slack out of the manager and the strain off the connection interfaces.
Quality Control and Testing
Each optical assembly is terminated with precision zirconia ferrule connectors and optically tested before packing: insertion loss and return loss are verified on every cable, and end-face geometry is inspected for consistent physical contact. The relevant cable ships with dust caps on the two connectors and the test result offered on specify.
Ordering and Factory Support
Refer to this design by connector pair, fiber mode and length when requisitioning a quotation. For configurations outside the listed options, mixed connector families, jackets, identification or project packing, send the requirement with the enquiry and the factory will cross-check the build before production is released. New Zealand project orders can include documentation and labeling requirements alongside the technical configuration.
