InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/LC 50/125µm OM4 40m

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/LC 50/125µm OM4 40m is a multimode duplex fiber patch cable designed for high-speed, bidirectional data transmission in structured cabling environments. It features LC connectors on both ends and a 50/125 µm core/cladding diameter optimized for OM4 performance, suitable for links that require reliable signal integrity and lower attenuation over moderate to longer distances. The 40 meter length provides flexibility for installations in data centers, server rooms, and telecommunication racks where a mid-range reach is needed.

Advantages

The OM4 grade fiber offers improved modal bandwidth compared with lower multimode types, enabling higher data rates and extended reach for applications such as 10 Gbps and beyond where OM4 is specified. LC connectors provide a compact form factor and are widely used in networking equipment, patch panels, and transceivers. The duplex construction supports simultaneous transmit and receive channels in a single cable assembly, reducing cable clutter and simplifying routing. The 50/125 µm core/cladding dimensions are industry-standard for multimode connectivity, ensuring compatibility with common multimode transceivers and optical components.

Suitable for

• Data center horizontal and rack-to-rack connections
• High-speed Ethernet links (10G, 25G and applicable OM4-supported rates)
• Fiber patch panels and optical distribution frames
• Server-to-switch connections and SAN fabrics

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM4
• Core / cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector type: LC duplex to LC duplex
• Length: 40 m
• Polishing type: (industry standard for LC multimode)

How to use

Route the InLine LC/LC duplex cable between intended network equipment ports or through patch panels, ensuring bend radius limits are respected and connectors are kept clean during installation. Insert the LC connectors into compatible LC ports until the latch engages; ensure correct polarity for duplex links so transmit and receive pairs align with the connected devices. Verify link status with network equipment diagnostics or an optical test instrument after installation.

Usage recommendations

Keep connector endfaces free from dust and contaminants by using protective caps until final connection and clean endfaces with appropriate fiber cleaning tools if required. Avoid sharp bends and excessive tensile stress; follow manufacturer bend radius guidelines for multimode fiber. For critical links, perform optical loss testing to confirm the connection meets system requirements.
