DYNAMIX 15M LC/SC OM1 Fibre Lead – Duplex, Multimode, Orange LSZH Jacket

The DYNAMIX 15M LC/SC OM1 Fibre Lead is a high-quality fibre optic cable designed for reliable and efficient data transmission in multimode applications. Engineered with OM1 multimode fibre, this cable is ideal for lower-speed networks (up to 1Gbps) and short-to-medium distance connections. With a duplex configuration, it supports simultaneous bi-directional data transfer, making it perfect for enterprise networks, educational institutions, and small-scale data centres.

The orange LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket ensures safety by reducing toxic smoke emissions in the event of a fire, making it suitable for indoor environments. The 15-metre length provides flexibility for longer-distance connections between racks, patch panels, or networking equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is OM1 fibre, and how does it perform?

OM1 is a multimode fibre with a core diameter of 62.5 microns, designed for data rates up to 1Gbps over distances of up to 275 metres. It is commonly used in legacy systems and cost-effective network setups.

2. What is the difference between LC and SC connectors?

• LC Connectors: Compact connectors designed for high-density applications, commonly used in modern networking systems.
• SC Connectors: Standard connectors known for their durability and ease of use, suitable for a wide range of applications.

3. What does duplex mean?

Duplex refers to the cable's ability to handle bi-directional data transfer, with two fibres working simultaneously to transmit and receive signals.

4. Is the 15-metre length suitable for my setup?

The 15-metre length is ideal for medium-distance connections between racks, patch panels, or networking devices in enterprise or educational environments.

5. What is the benefit of the LSZH jacket?

The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket emits minimal smoke and no toxic halogen gases when exposed to fire, making it a safer option for indoor environments such as data centres, offices, and public buildings.

6. What applications is this fibre lead suitable for?

This fibre lead is perfect for:

• Connecting networking devices in enterprise networks or educational institutions.
• Use in legacy multimode systems.
• Short-to-medium distance connections requiring safe and reliable data transmission.

7. Can this cable be used with other OM2, OM3, or OM4 systems?

While OM1 fibre is typically used in legacy systems, it can connect to other multimode systems if the equipment supports it. However, for higher data rates or longer distances, OM2, OM3, or OM4 cables may be more suitable.
