MPO 12 Fiber OM5 Trunk Cable

BWN-TK-M12-OM5-LM-{POL}-{JKT}-{LEN} + configuration options

Product Overview

The BWNFiber 12-fiber MPO OM5 trunk cable terminates one MPO-12 PC female connector on each end of a lime-green jacket. It is the Base-12 wideband multimode trunk for panel and cassette interconnect in plants that specify OM5 infrastructure.

OM5 wideband fiber keeps the plant ready for SWDM-based optics, but the jacket color alone is not a speed claim — the installed transceivers decide the application. This page is a trunk for backbone runs of 5-100 m; short in-cabinet jumpers belong to the patch cord family. Type A, Type B or Type C polarity is built to the site drawing.

Key Features

• One MPO-12/PC female connector on each end
• 12 live fibers, OM5 50/125 μm wideband multimode
• Lime green jacket per OM5 identification practice
• Type A, Type B or Type C polarity built to the site drawing
• 3.0 mm typical cable OD for high-density routing
• LSZH, OFNP and OFNR jacket options
• 100% factory-terminated and optically tested before shipment

Technical Specifications

Final insertion loss and return loss limits follow the BWNFiber test specification for the selected loss grade. Test method reference: IEC 61300-3-4.

Selection Guidance

• Polarity is not field-switchable. Choose Type A, Type B or Type C from the site drawing before ordering.
• Female (unpinned) ends mate with pinned cassette and panel ports; male (pinned) builds are quoted on request.
• Choose OM5 when the design specifies wideband multimode; for standard OM4 plants, see the 12F OM4 trunk instead.
• OM5 supports SWDM ecosystems, but SWDM operation depends on the optics, not the jacket color.
• This is a 5-100 m trunk. For short in-cabinet OM3/OM4 jumpers, use the patch cord family.
• Jacket by space: OFNP for plenum, OFNR for riser shafts, LSZH for enclosed or public areas.

Applications

• Wideband multimode panel and cassette interconnect
• Base-12 OM5 structured cabling trunks
• SWDM-ready multimode backbones (optics-dependent)
• High-density 12-fiber permanent links inside the hall

Order Guide

This SKU is built to the ordered polarity and is not polarity-switchable in the field. Select the polarity from the site drawing, then overall length and jacket.

Standard lengths: 5, 7, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100 m, in LSZH, OFNP or OFNR. Custom lengths between or beyond these steps are quoted on the drawing.

Why Source from BWNFiber

BWNFiber factory-terminates and inspects every MPO end before shipment, records polarity per order, and can attach IL/RL test reports for project handover. Catalog jackets cover LSZH, OFNP and OFNR; PVC, TPU and PE are quoted on project orders, together with OEM printing and labeling. OM5 builds carry their own naming and test records, separate from OM4 violet stock, so wideband projects receive the specified fiber grade. Send the interface, fiber type, polarity, jacket and overall length, and BWNFiber returns a build sheet before production.
