LogiLink Fiber Patch Cord OM4 SC to SC Duplex 2m 50 µm

The LogiLink Fiber Patch Cord OM4 SC to SC Duplex 2m 50 µm is a high-grade multi-mode fiber optic cable designed for reliable network connections between patch panels, switches, and terminal devices. Built with OM4 specification and a 50 µm core diameter, this duplex jumper supports high-speed data transfer rates up to 40 Gbit/s over distances up to 125 meters. The cable features a low-smoke, halogen-free (LSZH) outer jacket in a distinct pink or erika violet color, ensuring increased safety in public buildings and confined spaces by minimizing toxic smoke emissions in case of fire. The duplex design effectively prevents the incorrect connection of transmit and receive channels during installation.

Advantages

This LogiLink fiber patch cord delivers exceptional optical and mechanical performance, backed by rigorous quality control where every individual cable includes a measurement protocol. The utilization of Grade A/1 multi-mode fiber combined with state-of-the-art SC connectors guarantees low insertion loss and minimal back reflection. Its robust yet flexible LSZH outer material ensures high durability and safety while facilitating easy routing in high-density rack environments. The plug-and-play capability allows for quick, non-permanent installations and effortless integration into existing network infrastructures.

Suitable for

• Connecting network switches to patch panels in data centers
• Linking telecommunication equipment and terminal devices
• High-speed local area networks requiring up to 40 Gbit/s transmission
• Installations in environments requiring low-smoke halogen-free cabling

When it may not be suitable

This patch cord may not be suitable for long-distance outdoor installations, as it is designed primarily for indoor structured cabling environments and supports high-speed links up to 125 meters. Additionally, it features SC to SC connectors, meaning it cannot be directly plugged into devices equipped exclusively with LC, ST, or RJ45 copper ports without appropriate adapters or media converters.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 2 m
• Fiber optic type: Multi-mode OM4, 50/125 µm core diameter
• Connector type: SC Male to SC Male Duplex
• Maximum data transfer rate: 40 Gbit/s
• Outer jacket material: Low smoke zero halogen (LSZH)
• Jacket color: Pink / Erika violet
• Standards compliance: ISO/IEC 11801, IEC60793-2-10, IEC-61753-222-2

How to use

Before installation, inspect the SC duplex connectors and clean the fiber end-faces if necessary using approved optical cleaning tools to remove any dust or oils. Align the connectors with the corresponding SC ports on your patch panel, switch, or terminal device, and gently push until you hear a click indicating a secure connection. Ensure the duplex clip maintains the correct orientation to keep transmit and receive channels properly aligned. Avoid sharp bends, excessive pulling tension, or crushing the cable to maintain optimal optical performance and prevent damage to the internal glass fibers.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network hardware uses SC ports on both ends of the connection
• Check that the 2-meter length is sufficient to span the distance between your devices without excessive slack
• Confirm that your network architecture requires OM4 multi-mode fiber for your bandwidth and distance requirements

Always handle fiber optic patch cords with care by avoiding tight bends and protecting the connector end-faces with dust caps when not connected. Regularly inspect connections and verify that bend radii exceed the manufacturer's recommended minimum limits to ensure long-term network reliability and signal integrity.
