EFB Elektronik DJP-LCLCOM4-UNI-0,5 OM4 Fibre Optic Cable, LC to LC, 0.5 m

The EFB Elektronik DJP-LCLCOM4-UNI-0,5 is a high-performance OM4 fibre optic patch cable designed to provide reliable, high-speed data transmission in professional networking environments. This 0.5-meter duplex jumper features LC connectors on both ends and is engineered with a specialized Uniboot design, incorporating a long unlock latch that facilitates easy access and removal in high-density patch panels. The cable supports flexible configuration, allowing users to adjust the polarity or coding of the duplex connector to meet specific application requirements.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable offers significant benefits for high-density infrastructure, primarily through its Uniboot design which saves space and simplifies cable management within crowded server racks. The inclusion of a long unlock latch ensures that technicians can easily disconnect the cable even in tight spaces where standard connectors might be difficult to reach. Furthermore, the ability to modify the polarity and coding of the duplex connector provides exceptional versatility, allowing the cable to adapt to various network topologies without the need for additional hardware.

Suitable for

• High-density data center environments
• Professional server room networking
• High-speed telecommunication infrastructure
• Applications requiring precise and flexible fibre connectivity

When it may not be suitable

This cable is specifically designed for short-range connections within racks or panels due to its 0.5-meter length and may not be suitable for long-distance runs between different rooms or buildings. Additionally, it is intended for use with OM4 compatible equipment and may not be the optimal choice for legacy systems requiring different fibre standards.

Key specifications

• Cable type: OM4 fibre optic
• Connector type: LC to LC
• Configuration: Duplex Uniboot
• Length: 0.5 meters
• Features: Long unlock latch for high-density panels
• Adjustability: Field-changeable polarity and coding

How to use

To install the cable, align the LC connectors with the corresponding ports on your networking equipment or patch panel. Gently insert the connector until you hear a click, ensuring a secure connection. The long unlock latch allows for easy removal by simply pressing the latch mechanism, which is particularly useful in high-density setups where finger space is limited. If the polarity needs to be adjusted for your specific network configuration, follow the manufacturer's guidelines to safely modify the duplex connector housing.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your networking hardware supports OM4 fibre standards
• Measure the required distance to ensure 0.5 meters is sufficient for your setup
• Check if your patch panel layout benefits from the Uniboot design
• Ensure compatibility with LC interface ports

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, always ensure that the fibre optic connectors are clean and free of dust before insertion. Avoid sharp bends or excessive tension on the cable to maintain signal integrity and prevent damage to the glass fibre core.
