HPE Premier Flex WB OM5 LC 2F 100M Cable

Experience reliable, high-performance connectivity with the HPE Premier Flex WB OM5 LC 2F 100M Cable. Engineered for demanding data-center environments, this fiber optic patch cable uses WideBand OM5 multimode fiber to support contemporary and future-ready network deployments. Measuring 100 meters (328.08 feet), the LC-to-LC, 2-fiber design provides a flexible, plug-and-play solution for server rooms, top-of-rack deployments, and inter-rack connections. Built to endure daily wear, the Premier Flex cable delivers consistent signal integrity, low insertion loss, and robust compatibility with HPE Premier Flex infrastructure as well as a broad range of transceivers that rely on OM5’s enhanced bandwidth. Whether you’re upgrading a data center, expanding a campus network, or refreshing your cabling for SWDM-enabled devices, this cable helps maximize throughput while simplifying installation and management.

• OM5 WideBand Multimode Fiber technology enables higher bandwidth and multi-source compatibility, supporting today’s 1G/10G links and paving the way for 40G/100G SWDM deployments without needing new cabling.
• 2F (two fiber) design with LC connectors on both ends provides a compact, high-density solution that minimizes port usage while maximizing data capacity across links.
• 100 meters (328.08 feet) length offers flexible routing in data centers and enterprise networks, enabling longer runs between devices, racks, and patch panels without additional splices or repeaters.
• Durable construction and a data-center-grade jacket protect against routine handling, bending, and environmental stress, helping maintain stable performance in busy server rooms and telecommunication closets.
• Designed for seamless integration with HPE Premier Flex networking gear and a wide range of transceivers, enabling straightforward deployment in mixed-vendor environments while preserving optimal link reliability.

How to install HPE Premier Flex WB OM5 LC 2F 100M Cable

• Plan cable routing to minimize exposed length and avoid sharp bends. Adhere to the recommended minimum bend radius for OM5 fiber to preserve signal integrity.
• Inspect the LC connectors for any debris or damage before installation. Do not force a connection; ensure alignment and gentle seating to avoid connector contamination or damage.
• Route the cable along approved paths within racks and cable trays. Use tie-downs or Velcro straps to secure the cable without over-tightening, which could compress the jacket or misalign connectors.
• Connect the LC ends to the corresponding LC ports on network devices, transceivers, or patch panels. Verify that both ends are firmly seated and that the link indicators on the transceivers reflect a stable connection.
• Label both ends clearly for future maintenance and traceability. Maintain organized cabling to simplify changes, upgrades, and troubleshooting in busy data environments.
• Test the link after installation with standard diagnostics, verifying signal integrity, attenuation, and error rates. Document results and keep a log for future reference and audits.
