How to Choose the Right LC-SC 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 devices support both LC and SC connectors, or use adapters where necessary for seamless integration.
