Alantec fiber patchcord MM OM4 LC-LC duplex 50/125 2 m

Alantec fiber patchcord MM OM4 LC-LC duplex 50/125 2 m is a multimode duplex fiber cable engineered for short-range high-bandwidth optical connections. The cable uses 50/125 µm multimode fiber of OM4 grade and two LC connectors in duplex configuration, making it suitable for patching and linking equipment in data centers, enterprise networks and telecom racks. The 2 m length and standardized LC-LC termination ensure compatibility with optical transceivers, patch panels and network switches that require LC duplex interfaces.

Advantages

The OM4 grade fiber provides improved bandwidth and lower modal dispersion compared with lower-grade multimode fiber, supporting higher data rates and extended reach for multimode links. Duplex LC-LC terminations offer compact, reliable connections with low insertion loss and repeatable performance for frequent mating cycles. The 50/125 µm core/cladding multimode construction is industry standard for short-range aggregated and server-to-switch links, delivering consistent optical performance for multimode transceivers and patching applications.

Suitable for

• Patch panels and fiber distribution frames in data centers
• Connections between switches, servers and optical transceivers
• Horizontal and rack-level multimode cabling within buildings
• Short-range multimode links in enterprise and telecom environments

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM4
• Core / cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector type: LC duplex (LC-LC)
• Configuration: Duplex
• Length: 2 m
• Typical use: Short-range multimode optical transmission

How to use

Prepare equipment by powering down or following your site’s hot-plug policies for optical modules. Inspect connector endfaces and clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before insertion to minimize insertion loss. Align and insert the LC duplex connectors into the corresponding LC ports on transceivers, patch panels or adapters until the latch engages. Route the patchcord to avoid sharp bends, kinks and high-tension points, maintaining the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode cable. When removing, depress the LC latch and withdraw straight out to avoid stressing the fiber.

Usage recommendations

Use dust caps when connectors are not mated, perform regular endface inspections and cleaning, and adhere to bend-radius limits to maintain low insertion loss and prolong service life. For optimal performance in high-density installations, label both ends and secure the patchcord to avoid accidental removal or strain on connectorized terminations.
