C2G LC/LC OM4 LSZH Fibre Patch Cable 2m Purple 50 µm Full Duplex

The C2G LC/LC OM4 LSZH Fibre Patch Cable 2m Purple 50 µm Full Duplex is a high-performance optical fiber solution designed for reliable high-speed data transmission in enterprise networks and data centers. Featuring dual LC connectors on both ends and a length of 2 meters, this purple multimode patch cable utilizes a 50 µm core diameter to support demanding communication standards. It is constructed with a low smoke zero halogen jacket, ensuring increased safety for indoor network installations where smoke emission could present a hazard.

Advantages

This fiber optic patch cable delivers exceptional performance headroom, efficiently supporting 40 Gigabit and 100 Gigabit Ethernet communication standards such as 40GBase-SR4 and 100GBase-SR10. Its multimode construction provides full duplex operation and ensures backward compatibility with existing 50/125 networking equipment. Additionally, the low smoke zero halogen jacket minimizes toxic and corrosive gases in poorly ventilated areas, while the distinctive purple color allows for quick and easy cable identification within dense patching environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting 40G and 100G transceivers like SFP+ and QSFP+
• High-speed data center and enterprise structured cabling
• Indoor network connections requiring low smoke zero halogen materials
• Linking networking equipment in telecommunication closets

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not designed for outdoor environments or direct burial applications, as its jacket is specifically optimized for indoor use. Furthermore, it is a multimode OM4 cable with LC connectors, making it incompatible with single-mode systems or network hardware utilizing different connector types such as SC or ST without appropriate adapters.

How to use

To use the C2G LC/LC OM4 LSZH Fibre Patch Cable, first inspect the LC connectors for any dust or debris, using appropriate cleaning tools if necessary. Remove the protective dust caps from both ends of the cable. Gently insert each LC connector into the corresponding transceiver or port on your networking hardware until you hear a secure click. Route the cable carefully through cable management channels, avoiding sharp bends or excessive tension to maintain optimal signal integrity.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network hardware uses LC ports and supports multimode OM4 fiber standards
• Measure the required distance between devices to ensure the 2-meter length is sufficient
• Check building safety regulations to confirm if low smoke zero halogen jackets are required for your installation

Always maintain proper bend radii during installation and keep dust caps on unused connectors to prevent optical contamination and ensure long-term network reliability.
