Duplex Optical Patch Cord LC–SC 50/125 µm OM4, 5 m – OEM

Duplex optical patch cord with LC to SC connectors, multimode 50/125 µm fiber and OM4 classification, 5 m length. This OEM cable is designed for high-density installations in server rooms, network switches and fiber distribution panels where duplex multimode links are required. The LC–SC connector pair provides compact LC termination on one end and standard SC termination on the other, enabling compatibility between equipment with different connector types while maintaining low insertion loss and consistent signal transmission over short to medium distances.

Advantages

The OM4 multimode fiber offers improved bandwidth and optimized modal dispersion for 10 Gb/s and 40/100 Gb/s applications at typical multimode distances. Duplex construction ensures simultaneous transmit and receive channels in a single assembly for simplified routing and reduced cabling. The LC connector delivers a small form-factor interface for high-density panels, while the SC connector ensures robust push-pull mating for common patch panels and transceivers. The OEM build meets standard multimode physical parameters and provides stable performance with low attenuation across the link.

Suitable for

• Data centers and server room interconnects
• Switch-to-switch and switch-to-transponder links
• Fiber patch panels and distribution frames
• Short- to medium-reach multimode backbone cabling

How to use

Verify that both connected devices support multimode 50/125 µm fiber and OM4 performance. Route the cable through existing cable management channels, avoiding tight bends; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for multimode fiber to prevent increased attenuation. Insert the LC connectors into LC ports and the SC connectors into SC ports until they click or latch securely. Label each end as needed to identify transmit and receive channels and test the link with appropriate optical test equipment to confirm acceptable insertion loss and continuity before placing into production.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the patch cord in a clean environment, keep connector endfaces protected with dust caps when not in use, and clean endfaces before mating using approved fiber cleaning tools. For permanent links or environments requiring higher mechanical protection, consider using armored or jacketed alternatives; for mixed multimode and singlemode environments, verify transceiver and system compatibility before connecting.
