C2G 1m LC/LC OM4 LSZH Fibre Patch Cable Purple Duplex 50/125 µm

The C2G 1m LC/LC OM4 LSZH Fibre Patch Cable Purple Duplex 50/125 µm is a reliable fiber optic patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in local area networks, data centers, and telecommunication infrastructures. Featuring LC connectors on both ends and built with an OM4 multi-mode fiber with a 50/125 micrometer core diameter, this cable ensures efficient connectivity for modern networking hardware. The cable is protected by a low smoke zero halogen purple jacket, which contributes to improved safety in enclosed areas.

Advantages

This duplex multi-mode fiber optic cable provides the performance headroom required to support LED and VCSEL laser light sources as well as demanding 40 and 100 gigabit Ethernet applications. It supports OM4 transmission standards and offers backward compatibility with existing 50/125 networking equipment. The integration of a low smoke zero halogen jacket helps minimize the release of toxic and corrosive gases in the event of a fire, making it a practical choice for sensitive indoor environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting 40GBase-SR4 and 100GBase-SR10 transceivers
• Linking SFP+ and QSFP+ transceivers for high-speed network connections
• Deployments in modern data centers and server rooms
• Local area network installations in enterprise and telecommunication infrastructures

When it may not be suitable

This cable may not be suitable for long-distance outdoor installations where armored cabling or weather-resistant outer jackets are required. Additionally, it is designed for multi-mode fiber environments and will not be compatible with single-mode networking equipment or long-haul telecommunication links.

How to use

To use this fiber optic patch cable, gently remove it from its packaging and inspect the LC connectors for any dust or debris. Remove the protective dust caps from the connectors before installation. Align the LC connector carefully with the port on your transceiver, switch, or patch panel and push it straight in until a click is heard, indicating a secure connection. Repeat the process for the second connector. Ensure the cable is not bent beyond its minimum bend radius to maintain optimal signal transmission.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your networking hardware utilizes LC type interfaces and supports multi-mode OM4 fiber.
• Check the required cable length to ensure 1 meter is sufficient for your routing pathway between devices.
• Confirm whether your installation site specifically requires low smoke zero halogen cable materials for safety compliance.

For optimal network performance, avoid tight bends and sharp angles during cable routing, and always use dust caps on unconnected ports to prevent optical signal degradation.
