ROLINE OM5 quality fiber optic patch cables with connectors that exhibit particularly low insertion loss provide high-performance fiber optic cabling. These OM5 fiber optic cables with very low attenuation guarantee excellent quality at high bandwidths of up to 100 Gbit/s for Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and OIF applications over distances of up to 150 meters. They enhance the system cost advantages for extremely long backbones and medium-length campus backbones.

The material and sheath are of ROLINE quality. These are duplex cables with a multimode fiber type of 50/125μm OM5. The cables are equipped with "Low-Loss" connectors that achieve particularly good values for insertion loss and reflection. For comparison, the typical loss of a standard LC connector is 0.5 dB, while the typical loss of a Low-Loss LC connector is only 0.15 dB.

The connectors are UPC polished, the outer diameter is 2.0 mm, and the bandwidth is 4700 MHz-km, based on an application-specific implementation of the EMBC requirements. The jacket color is green.
