Description
The LC Uniboot to LC Uniboot OM5 Multimode fiber patch cable represents the next generation of high-speed connectivity, specifically engineered to support the evolving demands of hyperscale data centers. By integrating the uniboot connector with a functional pull-tab, this cable solves the problem of cable congestion and difficult accessibility in high-density patch panels. The uniboot design consolidates two fibers into a single round 2.0mm or 3.0mm jacket, improving airflow and simplifying cable management compared to traditional duplex zipcord jumpers.
The core of this cable is Wideband Multimode Fiber (WBMMF), known as OM5. Unlike traditional multimode fibers, OM5 is designed to support at least four wavelengths in the 850nm to 950nm range. This capability allows for Short-Wave Division Multiplexing (SWDM), which can transmit 40G or 100G signals using just two fiber cores instead of eight. With an effective modal bandwidth of 6000MHz·km at 850nm and 8000MHz·km at 880nm, this cable provides a significant performance boost over OM3 and OM4 standards while remaining fully backward compatible with existing legacy infrastructure.
Housed in a distinctive lime-green OFNR (Riser) jacket, this patch cord is suitable for vertical installations and meets rigorous fire safety standards. Each cable is precision-engineered by FiberMania to ensure low insertion loss and high return loss, guaranteeing stable performance when paired with high-speed transceivers like 40G/100G QSFP+. Whether upgrading an existing network or building a new high-speed backbone, this OM5 uniboot cable offers a cost-effective, high-bandwidth, and space-saving solution.

FAQ
Why should I choose OM5 over OM4 for my data center? OM5 is designed for Short-Wave Division Multiplexing (SWDM). While OM4 requires 8 fibers for 100G (SR4), OM5 can achieve 100G using only 2 fibers (SWDM4), significantly reducing the complexity and cost of your fiber infrastructure.
Can the polarity of the uniboot connector be changed? Yes, our uniboot connectors are designed for easy, tool-less polarity reversal. This allows you to switch between A-to-B and A-to-A configurations in the field to match your equipment requirements.
What makes FiberMania’s OEM service different? We offer a true factory-direct experience. This means you get 16 years of manufacturing expertise, 100% testing on every cable, and the flexibility to order exactly what you need—whether it’s 1 piece or 10,000 pieces—with a very fast 3-7 day turnaround.
Is the lime-green color a requirement for OM5? Yes, TIA standards specify “Lime” as the official jacket color for OM5 to distinguish it from the “Aqua” used for OM3/OM4 and “Erika Violet” used for some OM4 variants.
