StarTech.com 10m LC‑LC Multimode Fiber Cable OM1 62.5/125

StarTech.com’s 10m LC–LC multimode fiber patch cable (62.5/125, LSZH) is a tested, duplex fiber jumper that links fiber network devices for reliable high-speed transmission while minimizing smoke and halogen in the event of fire.

This 10-meter (32.8 ft) duplex fiber jumper uses OM1 multimode 62.5/125 glass and LC connectors on both ends to deliver consistent optical connections between switches, transceivers, patch panels and other fiber equipment. The jacket is LSZH (Low-Smoke, Zero-Halogen), reducing harmful emissions and corrosive residues when exposed to high heat—an important safety and compliance choice for data centers, industrial sites, schools, and multi-dwelling buildings. Each cable is individually tested for insertion loss to ensure compatibility and dependable performance, and it’s backed by StarTech.com’s Lifetime Warranty.

How does this LC–LC cable perform in fiber networks?

The cable is designed for multimode applications where short to moderate distances are required. OM1 62.5/125 fiber supports common multimode transceivers and infrastructure equipment used in legacy and some current systems, providing steady optical throughput without susceptibility to electrical interference. Individual testing confirms insertion loss falls within acceptable limits for predictable behavior in patching environments.

• OM1 multimode 62.5/125 core/cladding geometry
• Duplex LC connectors for standard lateral patching
• Individually tested for insertion loss and optical integrity
• Immune to electromagnetic interference due to optical transmission

Why choose an LSZH jacket for this fiber jumper?

LSZH jackets limit smoke density and eliminate halogen emissions in a fire, reducing toxic gas and corrosive residue that could damage equipment or harm occupants. That makes the cable suitable for installations where building regulations or safety priorities prefer low-smoke, low-toxicity materials—such as confined spaces, central offices, classrooms and public buildings. The jacket retains flame-retardant properties while preserving cable flexibility for routing and management.

• Low-Smoke, Zero-Halogen outer jacket reduces dangerous emissions
• Better for enclosed or high-occupancy environments with strict codes
• Maintains flexibility for neat cable runs and rack installations

What connectivity and compatibility should I expect with LC connectors?

LC connectors are compact, duplex-ready terminations widely used in patch panels and SFP transceivers. The LC form factor fits densely populated panels and small-form-factor modules, making it a practical choice for modern racks and telecom rooms. For best results, pair the cable with devices that accept LC feedthroughs or LC SFP modules designed for multimode fiber.

• LC-to-LC termination for direct patching between compatible ports
• Suitable for fiber patch panels, transceivers, and active equipment accepting LC
• Compact connector profile helps conserve panel and rack space

How is this cable supported and tested for reliability?

Each StarTech.com fiber jumper undergoes individual testing to verify insertion loss is within acceptable thresholds, ensuring the cable will behave predictably in production networks. StarTech.com supports the product with a Lifetime Warranty, offering long-term coverage for defects and peace of mind for infrastructure deployments. The combination of testing and warranty makes this cable a practical choice for both permanent and temporary installations.

• 100% individually tested for optical performance
• Lifetime Warranty from StarTech.com for product assurance
• Manufactured to industry fiber standards for predictable results
