How to Choose the Right LC-LC OM5 Configuration
Use these considerations to match the cable to your network's performance and infrastructure requirements.
Confirm Bandwidth Requirements
Select OM5 when your installation requires 100G, 200G, or 400G Ethernet with SWDM support and future scalability.
Check Distance Needs
OM5 supports up to 150 meters at 100 Gbps. For shorter runs, OM3 or OM4 may suffice — but OM5 ensures future-proofing.
Verify Connector Compatibility
Confirm that your hardware accepts LC connectors and that the duplex configuration matches your system's port layout.
Plan for Density and Routing
Choose the right cable diameter and length to support clean routing in high-density environments.
