Hama Glasvezel-Network Cable LC/Apc-Plug - LC/Apc-Plug 10 GBIT/s 5.00 M

Hama Fibre-Optic Network Cable LC/APC to LC/APC 5 m | A 10 Gbit/s link between matching ports

When you’re connecting network equipment that has LC/APC sockets at both ends, this Hama fibre-optic cable gives you a direct link over a five-metre run. It has an LC/APC plug on each end and is specified for data rates up to 10 Gbit/s. That makes it a straightforward option for a setup that calls for this connector type and rate, rather than a cable with a different termination. The white jacket is easy to spot when you’re sorting several cables behind a desk or rack. Its length gives you some room to route between nearby connection points without choosing a much longer run. The key thing to get right is the connection at both ends: this cable is for equipment with matching LC/APC ports. If that’s what your installation uses, the details are refreshingly simple—fibre optic, LC/APC at either end, and five metres of cable.

Planning the cable run

Before you connect it, trace the route from one device to the other and make sure the cable can reach without being stretched. Think through where it will pass, too: a tidy route is easier to follow later if you need to identify or move a connection. The matching plugs make the intended connection clear, but the ports on the equipment still need to be the right type. For a setup requiring LC/APC at both ends, this cable keeps the connection consistent from end to end. If you’re choosing between lengths, base that choice on the path the cable must take, not just the straight-line distance between devices. Five metres is the stated cable length, so allow for the route rather than assuming every centimetre will run directly between the ports. This is a specific network cable, not a general-purpose lead; its value is in matching the connector and rate your installation calls for.
