5m LC/LC OM4 Multimode Duplex Fibre Cable with Switchable Polarity
Create a 5m LC-to-LC OM4 multimode link with bend-insensitive fibre, retractable housings for tool-free polarity swapping and support for compatible networks up to 100Gbps.
Key features
OM4 multimode performance
Laser-optimised 50/125µm fibre supports compatible 1, 10, 40 and 100Gbps network applications across this 5m cable.
LC/UPC duplex connectivity
Precision ceramic ferrules and UPC-polished LC duplex connectors support accurate fibre alignment and improved return loss compared with PC-polished ends.
Bend-insensitive construction
The bend-insensitive fibre core, aramid reinforcement and moulded strain reliefs support dense routes and a 3cm unloaded or 6cm loaded bend radius.
Tool-free polarity swapping
Retractable connector housings allow the duplex polarity to be changed in the field without tools; colour coding assists visual polarity checks.
What to know
For compatible high-speed optical links
Use the cable between compatible LC/UPC multimode transceivers, switches, servers, SAN equipment and patch panels in supported 1, 10, 40 or 100Gbps designs.
Designed for flexible, dense routing
Bend-insensitive fibre supports intricate cable paths, while colour-coded duplex connectors help the installer confirm polarity.

StarTech 450FBLCLC5SW FAQ
What type of cable is the 450FBLCLC5SW?
It is a 5m OM4 laser-optimised multimode duplex fibre cable with LC/UPC connectors at both ends.
Which network rates are supported?
StarTech lists 1, 10, 40 and 100Gbps cable ratings. Actual operation depends on compatible transceivers, wavelength, distance and the complete optical-link design.
Is it backward compatible with OM3?
Yes. The OM4 cable is backward compatible with OM3 multimode environments when every component in the optical link is compatible.
Are these UPC or APC connectors?
They are UPC-polished LC connectors. UPC and APC connectors should not be mated.
What does the LSZH jacket provide?
The low-smoke, zero-halogen jacket is designed to reduce smoke and halogen emissions if exposed to extreme heat or fire.
Can the polarity be changed without tools?
Yes. Retractable connector housings support tool-free in-field polarity swapping.
Can the duplex polarity be changed in the field?
Yes. The retractable connector housings enable tool-free polarity swapping; verify the required polarity before completing the link.
What warranty covers the 450FBLCLC5SW?
The 450FBLCLC5SW is the Australian version and is covered by a lifetime official StarTech.com manufacturer warranty in Australia. Keep the DeviceDeal invoice as proof of purchase; claims remain subject to StarTech.com terms and assessment.
