C2G OM4 LC/LC Fibre Patch Cable 5m LSZH Purple

The C2G OM4 LC/LC Fibre Patch Cable 5m LSZH Purple is a high-performance multimode duplex fiber optic cable designed for high-speed data transmission in modern network environments. Featuring LC connectors on both ends and a 50 µm core diameter, this purple cable provides reliable connectivity for demanding enterprise networks, data centers, and telecommunications installations. The Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacket ensures enhanced safety in restricted areas by emitting limited smoke and no halogen when exposed to high sources of heat.

Advantages

This fiber patch cable is built to support OM4 transmission standards, delivering the performance headroom required to support LED and VCSEL laser light sources. It facilitates 40 Gigabit and 100 Gigabit Ethernet communication, making it suitable for connecting 40GBase-SR4 and 100GBase-SR10, SFP+, and QSFP+ transceivers. Furthermore, the cable offers backward compatibility with existing 50/125 equipment, ensuring seamless integration into current network infrastructures without requiring complete hardware overhauls.

Suitable for

• Connecting 40GBase-SR4 and 100GBase-SR10 network equipment
• Linking SFP+ and QSFP+ transceivers
• Enterprise network and data center installations
• Telecommunications wiring closets

This cable may not be suitable for single-mode fiber optic infrastructures or long-distance outdoor telecommunications lines where single-mode transmission standards are strictly required.

To use the cable, carefully uncoil it and inspect the LC connectors for any dust or debris. Remove the protective dust caps from the connectors and the transceiver ports. Align the LC connector with the port and gently push it in until a click is heard, indicating a secure connection. Route the cable safely along designated cable management pathways, avoiding sharp bends that could damage the internal glass fibers.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network hardware uses LC duplex ports
• Check the required cable length to ensure the 5-meter reach is sufficient for your setup
• Confirm that your equipment operates on multimode OM4 specifications
• Assess whether LSZH jacket requirements apply to your building safety codes

Always maintain clean fiber connectors using appropriate cleaning tools before installation and avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius during cable routing to ensure optimal signal integrity and longevity.
