InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable SC/ST 50/125µm OM4 10m

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable SC/ST 50/125µm OM4 10m is a duplex multimode fiber cable designed for reliable high-speed data transmission over short and medium distances. With a 10 meter jacketed length and OM4 50/125 µm multimode fiber it supports high bandwidth and low modal dispersion for use in modern network infrastructures. The cable terminates with two SC connectors on one end and two ST connectors on the other, enabling easy mating with equipment that uses these common connector types.

Advantages

This OM4 multimode duplex cable offers high bandwidth capacity and improved modal performance compared with lower-grade multimode fibers, enabling sustained data rates for enterprise networking and data centre links. The combination of SC and ST connectors increases compatibility with legacy and contemporary equipment, while the duplex design allows full-duplex communication over two separate fibers. The 10 m length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack or room-to-room connections without intermediate splicing.

Suitable for

• Data centre uplinks and server-to-switch connections
• Enterprise LAN backbone and horizontal cabling
• Connectivity between network equipment with SC and ST ports
• High-speed multimode links for storage and virtualization systems

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM4
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Configuration: Duplex (two fibers)
• Connector types: 2×SC to 2×ST
• Length: 10 m
• Typical application: Short- to medium-range high-bandwidth links

How to use

Route the cable avoiding tight bends and mechanical stress; the minimum bend radius recommended for multimode fiber should be respected to prevent attenuation increases. Clean connector endfaces before making connections using appropriate fiber cleaning tools or wipes. Plug the SC connectors into SC ports and the ST connectors into ST ports, ensuring secure latching or bayonet engagement as required by the connector type. Verify link integrity and signal levels with suitable test equipment after installation.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment, protect exposed connector endfaces with dust caps when not in use, and avoid repeated flexing or crushing. For optimal performance in critical links, perform insertion loss and return loss measurements and consider using OM4-compliant transceivers and patch panels to maintain specified bandwidth characteristics.
