Fiber Optical Duplex Cable InLine 88501P LC/ST 50/125µm OM4 1m

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable 88501P LC/ST 50/125µm OM4 1m is a duplex multimode fiber patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in network and data center environments. The cable features LC connector on one end and ST connector on the other, a 50/125 µm core/cladding multimode fiber geometry and OM4 fiber type to support increased bandwidth and improved performance over longer multimode runs. At 1 meter length the cable is intended for short interconnections between active equipment, patch panels and transceivers where low insertion loss and stable duplex links are required.

Advantages

The OM4 multimode construction provides higher modal bandwidth compared with lower-grade multimode fibers, supporting greater data rates and longer reach for multimode systems. Using LC and ST connectors allows compatibility with a wide range of transceivers and legacy equipment. The duplex configuration ensures simultaneous bi‑directional communication over the paired fibers, reducing the need for separate transmit and receive cables. The 1 m length offers a neat, low‑loss connection for cabinet- and rack-level patching.

Suitable for

• Short-distance links in data centers and server rooms
• Patching between switches, routers, media converters and transceivers
• Network equipment with LC and ST interfaces
• High-bandwidth multimode applications requiring OM4 fiber

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM4 multimode
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector A: LC (single-fiber ferrule) duplex
• Connector B: ST (bayonet) duplex
• Configuration: Duplex multimode patch cable
• Length: 1 m
• Typical application: Short-range high-speed multimode links

How to use

Identify the equipment ports that require multimode duplex connections and verify compatibility with LC and ST connectors. Clean connector endfaces before mating to minimize insertion loss and ensure optimal signal integrity. Insert the LC connector into the corresponding LC receptacle and secure the ST connector with its bayonet coupling mechanism into the ST port. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; maintain the specified minimum bend radius for multimode fiber. For duplex operation, ensure the transmit and receive channels on connected devices are aligned correctly.

Usage recommendations

Use this OM4 duplex cable for cabinet- and rack-level patching where short, reliable multimode connections are required. Regularly inspect and, if necessary, clean connector endfaces and avoid kinks or sharp bends. Match the cable to compatible multimode transceivers and equipment to achieve expected bandwidth and link performance.
