3 metre OM5 duplex fibre cable

This OM5 multi-mode fibre cable measures three metres and uses LC/UPC connectors on both ends. It is built for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links where laser-optimised 50/125 micron fibre is required. The green jacket identifies the OM5 rating at a glance. Installers working in commercial riser spaces will find the OFNR rating suitable for in-wall and between-floor runs.

Passive cable with no active components

The cable draws no power and produces no heat or noise during operation. Its glass fibres and polymer jacket are completely passive, so thermal load and acoustic output are effectively zero. Power draw is not applicable because no transceivers or electronics are integrated into the assembly. Routing through riser pathways does not add thermal load to the building infrastructure.

Lifetime warranty and OFNR jacket

Monoprice backs the cable with a lifetime warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship. The OFNR-rated jacket meets UL fire-safety requirements for vertical riser installations in commercial buildings. No software, drivers or additional accessories are bundled with the cable. Buyers needing pre-terminated trunk assemblies or single-mode variants will need a different product.

Questions about this item

How do I install the dual LC connectors on this OM5 duplex cable, and what step do people often get wrong?

Align the key on each LC connector with the port slot and push until it clicks; the step people miss is removing the dust caps from both the connector ferrule and the transceiver port before inserting.

What maintenance or replacement will this OM5 LC/UPC duplex cable need over time?

The cable itself requires no scheduled replacement; only the LC/UPC ferrule end-faces may need periodic cleaning with a lint-free wipe and isopropyl alcohol if insertion loss increases.

What limit appears first on this 3 m OM5 cable under sustained 10 GbE use?

The practical limit is the 10 GbE link budget; at 3 metres the OM5 50/125 µm fibre stays well within attenuation and modal-dispersion margins, so no cable-imposed limit is reached.
