Fiber Optic Patch Cable Equip LC/ST OM4 0.5m

The Equip LC/ST Fiber Optic Patch Cable OM4 0.5m is a short multimode link designed for high-speed data transmission in networking and telecommunications environments. It pairs an LC connector on one end with an ST connector on the other, uses a 50 µm core diameter and supports full-duplex communication while minimising insertion loss and return loss through quality endface geometry and materials.

Advantages

This Fiber Optic Patch Cable offers OM4 performance in a compact 0.5 m length, combining LC and ST connector types for flexible interconnection. The cable is manufactured to reduce insertion loss and return loss and provides consistent endface geometry for reliable signal transfer in short-distance, high-bandwidth links.

Suitable for

• Short-distance multimode connections in data centres
• Patch panels and fibre distribution frames requiring LC-to-ST links
• Telecommunications equipment and network switches supporting OM4
• Full-duplex links for high-speed LAN and storage networks

How to use

Identify the LC and ST ports on your devices or patch panels. Align and insert the LC connector into an LC adapter or port, and insert the ST connector into the corresponding ST adapter or port until it locks (bayonet for ST, push-pull for LC). Ensure connectors are clean before mating to maintain low loss and inspect endfaces if necessary. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, clean connector endfaces with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before each installation and avoid bending the cable below its minimum bend radius. Use the 0.5 m length for short patching runs only and select longer OM4 patch cords if greater reach is required.
