Duplex patch cable Lightwin LDP-50 LC-LC 2.0 m OM4 - multimode fiber duplex, LC to LC connectors

Duplex patch cable Lightwin LDP-50 LC-LC 2.0 m OM4 is a 2.0 metre multimode fiber duplex cable with LC to LC connectors designed for short-range high-speed optical links. The OM4 graded fiber provides higher modal bandwidth and improved performance for 10GbE and beyond in data centers, server rooms and telecom closets. The compact duplex LC terminations allow dense port packing and reliable connections to transceivers, patch panels and active network equipment.

Advantages

This OM4 multimode duplex patch cord delivers consistent transmission characteristics across the specified link distance, with low insertion loss and return loss suitable for short-range Ethernet and Fibre Channel applications. The LC to LC duplex configuration ensures polarity is maintained while simplifying fiber management. The 2.0 m length balances flexibility and reduced excess cable in structured cabling installations.

Suitable for

• Data center horizontal and rack interconnects
• Linking SFP+/QSFP+ transceivers and active switches
• Patching between fiber patch panels and appliances
• Short-range multimode Ethernet and storage area network links

Key specifications

• Fiber type: multimode OM4
• Connector type: LC to LC duplex
• Length: 2.0 m
• Cable configuration: duplex (two fibers)
• Typical applications: 10GbE and higher short-range links
• Polarity: maintained in duplex assembly
• Jacket color: commonly aqua for OM4 (visual identification)

How to use

Route the duplex cable between the two endpoints, ensuring both LC connectors are fully inserted into the corresponding LC ports on transceivers, patch panels or switches until they click. Verify the correct polarity alignment for transmit and receive channels. Avoid tight bends and excessive compression near connectors; maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radius to preserve optical performance. After installation, test the link with appropriate fiber test equipment to confirm insertion loss and continuity.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment to prevent contamination of LC endfaces. Use dust caps when connectors are not in use, and perform endface inspection and cleaning before mating. For organized cabling, secure the cable with gentle ties or cable management guides and avoid kinking; replace if physical damage or excessive loss is observed.
