InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable SC/SC 50/125µm OM4 0.5m

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable SC/SC 50/125µm OM4 0.5m is a high-performance patch cable engineered for reliable high-speed data transmission in modern networking environments. Featuring dual SC connectors on both ends and a multi-mode OM4 50/125µm fiber type, this cable delivers dependable full-duplex performance with minimal signal attenuation. Measuring 0.5 meters in length, it is specifically designed for short-range connections within enterprise server rooms, telecommunications setups, and local area networks where high bandwidth and data integrity are essential.

Advantages

This fiber optic cable utilizes premium OM4 multi-mode fiber, making it fully capable of supporting extremely high data rates over short distances, which is ideal for demanding backbone connections and data center switches. The inclusion of a halogen-free LSZH jacket enhances safety by minimizing toxic smoke emissions in the event of a fire, making it compliant with strict building regulations. Each cable is supplied with an individual test report to guarantee optimal optical performance and reliability straight out of the package. Its flexible 3.0mm dual construction and distinct purple color allow for easy identification and cable management within crowded patch panels.

Suitable for

• Connecting network switches and routers in enterprise server rooms
• High-speed local area network installations
• Telecommunication infrastructure and data center cross-connects
• Short-distance backbone cabling requiring OM4 multi-mode performance

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not suitable for long-distance outdoor installations or direct burial applications, as it lacks external weatherproofing and armored protection. Additionally, with a length of 0.5 meters, it cannot be used for bridging long physical distances between separate rooms or non-adjacent racks.

• Connector type: 2x SC Male to 2x SC Male
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Duplex operation: Full duplex
• Cable diameter: 3.0 mm (dual)
• Color: Purple

How to use

Before installation, inspect the SC connectors for any dust or debris and use appropriate fiber optic cleaning tools if necessary. Remove the protective dust caps from both ends of the duplex cable. Align the connector key with the port on your network device, such as a switch, transceiver, or patch panel, and push gently until it clicks securely into place. Ensure that the bending radius of the cable is respected during routing to prevent signal loss or physical damage to the internal glass fibers.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network hardware uses SC-type ports on both connecting ends
• Check the required length to ensure 0.5 meters is sufficient for your patch layout
• Confirm whether your installation environment requires LSZH halogen-free cabling

Always maintain the manufacturer-recommended bend radius during installation and avoid pulling the cable tightly around sharp corners to ensure long-term signal stability and optimal network performance.
