DELTACO LCLC-20M Multimode Fiber Optic Cable 20 m OM1 2x LC Duplex 62.5 µm Orange

The DELTACO LCLC-20M Multimode Fiber Optic Cable is a reliable solution designed for structured network infrastructures, offering a generous length of 20 meters to bridge medium distances between active network hardware. Equipped with 2x LC duplex connectors on both ends, this cable facilitates stable point-to-point connections within server rooms, data centers, and modern office environments. Utilizing an OM1 fiber type with a 62.5 µm core diameter and 125 µm cladding, it supports efficient data transmission for various networking setups. The vibrant orange LSZH outer jacket not only allows for quick visual identification among other cables but also ensures enhanced fire safety by being halogen-free and producing low smoke in the event of a fire.

Advantages

This fiber optic cable provides dependable performance with low insertion loss and high return loss, ensuring minimal signal degradation over medium transmission distances. The inclusion of ceramic ferrules and Ultra Physical Contact polished connectors promotes optimal signal integrity and physical durability during frequent patching. Its Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacket material makes it a responsible choice for installations where strict safety regulations apply. Additionally, the standard LC connectors ensure broad compatibility with a wide range of common network switches, routers, and patch panels.

Suitable for

• Connecting network switches and routers in server rooms over medium distances
• Linking patch panels within structured cabling infrastructures
• Fast and Gigabit Ethernet applications as well as select 10-Gigabit connections
• Environments requiring strict halogen-free and low-smoke fire safety standards

When it may not be suitable

This cable may not be suitable for long-distance telecommunications or backbone runs that exceed the performance thresholds of OM1 multimode fiber optics. It is also not designed for outdoor deployments without additional protective conduits, as the standard LSZH jacket is intended for indoor building environments.

How to use

Carefully unpack the fiber optic cable and inspect the connectors for any dust or debris before installation. Remove the protective dust caps from the LC connectors immediately prior to plugging them into the corresponding ports on your network devices until a secure click is heard. Route the 20-meter cable gently through designated cable trays, racks, or conduits, avoiding sharp bends or excessive pulling force that could damage the internal glass fibers. Ensure the bend radius adheres to standard fiber optic guidelines to maintain optimal signal performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing active hardware uses LC duplex ports and supports OM1 multimode fiber standards
• Measure the required cable run distance to ensure that 20 meters is sufficient without creating excessive slack
• Check local building safety codes to confirm whether LSZH-rated cables are required for your installation site

Usage recommendations: Handle the fiber optic connectors with clean hands and use appropriate fiber optic cleaning tools if dust is present. Always keep the protective dust caps on the connectors whenever the cable is unplugged to prevent contamination and ensure long-term network reliability.
