Fibre optic cable Kabelmeister LDM4-LC-020

The Kabelmeister LDM4-LC-020 is a high-performance OM4 fibre optic patch cable designed for demanding networking environments. Measuring 2 meters in length, this cable features precision-engineered LC/UPC connectors on both ends, ensuring a secure and stable connection for your hardware. Built with a 50/125 µm multimode fiber core, it is optimized for high-speed data transmission and reliable signal integrity in professional and home office network setups.

Advantages

This OM4 fiber optic cable offers superior bandwidth capabilities compared to older standards, making it an ideal choice for high-speed data centers and enterprise networks. The use of LC/UPC connectors provides a compact form factor that is easy to manage in high-density patch panels. Its robust construction ensures minimal signal loss and protection against interference, facilitating consistent performance for bandwidth-intensive applications over short to medium distances.

Suitable for

• High-speed local area networks (LAN)
• Data center interconnects
• Fiber-to-the-desk applications
• Connecting network switches and routers
• High-performance server room cabling

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for long-distance outdoor installations or environments where it will be exposed to extreme physical stress or moisture. It is specifically designed for indoor multimode fiber applications and will not function with single-mode fiber equipment.

Key specifications

• Cable type: OM4 Multimode
• Length: 2 meters
• Connector type: LC/UPC to LC/UPC
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Cladding diameter: 125 µm
• Duplex configuration: Full duplex

How to use

To use the cable, carefully remove the protective dust caps from the LC connectors. Align the connector with the corresponding port on your networking device, such as a switch or transceiver, and insert it until you hear a soft click, indicating that the locking mechanism is engaged. Ensure that the cable is not bent beyond its minimum bend radius to prevent signal degradation or damage to the glass fiber core.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your networking equipment supports LC interface ports.
• Confirm that your existing infrastructure uses OM4 or compatible multimode fiber.
• Measure the required distance to ensure a 2-meter cable is sufficient for your setup.
• Check if your devices require duplex or simplex connections.

Usage recommendations

Always keep the connector tips clean and free of dust or oils. Use a fiber optic cleaning tool if necessary, and store the cable in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain optimal signal transmission quality.
