InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/LC 50/125µm OM4 3m

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/LC 50/125µm OM4 3m is a multimode duplex patch cable engineered for high-speed data transmission in structured networks. With LC connectors on both ends and 50/125 µm core/cladding dimensions, this 3 meter OM4 fiber cable supports increased bandwidth and reduced modal dispersion compared with lower grade multimode fibers. It is intended for short- to medium-range links in data centers, server rooms and office network installations where consistent optical performance and low insertion loss are required.

Advantages

This LC/LC duplex cable follows OM4 specifications to provide higher bandwidth and improved performance for 850 nm VCSEL-based transceivers. The duplex construction enables full-duplex communication channels while maintaining polarity with standard LC duplex connectors. The 50/125 µm core size ensures compatibility with common multimode equipment, and the 3 meter length offers flexibility for patching between racks, panels and switches without excessive slack.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches, servers and storage in data centers and server rooms
• Patching between fiber panels and active equipment in telecom rooms
• High-speed multimode links for 10GbE, 40GbE or 100GbE systems using compatible transceivers
• Office LAN backbone runs and short campus connections

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM4
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC duplex
• Length: 3 m
• Polarity: Duplex (matched pair)
• Typical applications: Short- to medium-range multimode optical links

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces for cleanliness before installation and, if necessary, clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools to avoid increased insertion loss. Route the cable avoiding tight bends and mechanical stress; maintain a bend radius in line with manufacturer guidelines to preserve optical performance. Plug the LC connectors into the corresponding LC ports, observing duplex orientation and polarity so transmit and receive channels align correctly. After installation, verify link integrity and optical power levels with suitable test equipment.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the OM4 fiber cable in a dry, dust-free environment. Use dust caps when connectors are not mated, and follow industry best practices for fiber management in racks and panels to minimize signal degradation and ensure long-term reliability.
