Digitus OM4 Multimode Fiber Optic Patchcord with LC to LC Connectors, 2 m Cable Length, 50 µm Core Diameter

The Digitus OM4 Multimode Fiber Optic Patchcord with LC to LC Connectors, 2 m Cable Length, 50 µm Core Diameter is designed to support high-speed data transmission networks and high-bandwidth applications. This duplex patch cable features precision LC connectors on both ends and utilizes an OM4 multimode fiber construction, making it a reliable solution for modern enterprise environments, data centers, and telecommunication systems requiring stable and efficient optical connectivity.

Advantages

This fiber optic patch cord is manufactured with quality materials to ensure low signal attenuation and dependable performance. The inclusion of ceramic ferrules in the LC connectors promotes accurate alignment and durability over numerous mating cycles. Its low smoke zero halogen jacket material enhances safety in enclosed spaces by reducing toxic and corrosive gas emissions in the event of a fire. Each cable is individually packaged and supplied with an included test report to verify operational readiness.

Suitable for

• Connecting network switches and routers in enterprise data centers
• High-speed local area networks requiring OM4 multimode performance
• Telecommunication installations using duplex LC interfaces
• Connecting patch panels and optical network equipment over short distances

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not designed for outdoor deployments where it would be exposed to direct weather elements, moisture, or UV radiation. It is also unsuitable for single-mode fiber infrastructures or long-distance inter-building connections that require single-mode transmission standards.

How to use

Carefully unpack the patch cord and inspect the connectors for any visible dust or debris before installation. Remove the protective dust caps from the LC connectors immediately prior to plugging them into the corresponding ports. Align the connector carefully with the port and push straight in until an audible or tactile click confirms a secure connection. Avoid excessive bending, pulling, or sharp routing angles to maintain signal integrity during operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing hardware utilizes LC connectors and supports OM4 multimode standards
• Ensure the 2-meter length is sufficient to bridge the distance between your network devices without excessive slack
• Check if your installation environment strictly requires low smoke zero halogen jacket properties

Usage recommendations

Route the fiber optic patch cord carefully through cable management channels, maintaining a gentle bend radius to prevent internal fiber stress. Keep the dust caps on until the moment of installation and avoid touching the optical end-faces to prevent contamination and signal degradation.
