Network Cable LYNX LX-DPX-LC/LC-OM4-5 LC/LC OM4 5m

The LYNX duplex patch cable LX-DPX-LC/LC-OM4-5 is a multimode fiber patch lead engineered for reliable high-speed data transmission over short to medium distances. It uses OM4-grade multimode fiber with a 50/125 µm core/cladding ratio and LC connectors on both ends, offering low insertion loss and stable optical performance across typical datacentre and enterprise LAN environments. The 5 m length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack, switch-to-switch, or equipment interconnects while keeping signal integrity suited to current multimode applications.

Advantages

This LC/LC OM4 duplex cable delivers consistent multimode performance with low attenuation and controlled modal bandwidth, reducing signal degradation in demanding network topologies. The use of LC connectors ensures compact duplex connections that save port space in high-density panels and switches. The 50/125 µm OM4 fiber specification supports higher modal bandwidth compared with lower-grade multimode fibers, improving margins for 10G and higher short-reach links. The factory-terminated ends and durable jacket design simplify installation and minimize the need for onsite termination.

Suitable for

• Data centre patching between switches, transceivers and patch panels
• Enterprise network backbone and horizontal cabling within server rooms
• High-density rack installations where LC duplex connectors reduce port footprint
• Short-reach multimode links for 10G, 25G and similar multimode applications

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM4 multimode fiber
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector type: LC duplex to LC duplex
• Length: 5 m
• Polish/type: factory-terminated, epoxy/ceramic ferrule (standard LC construction)
• Typical application: short to medium multimode optical links in data centres and enterprise networks

How to use

Route the LYNX LX-DPX-LC/LC-OM4-5 cable between the LC ports of the network devices, transceivers or patch panels ensuring that duplex polarity is maintained according to your equipment's requirements. Avoid tight bends and secure the cable with appropriate cable management to prevent stress on the connectors and fiber. Before insertion, inspect connector endfaces for contamination and clean with proper fiber-cleaning tools if necessary. Plug the LC connectors into the corresponding LC sockets until they click into place, and verify link status through the connected devices.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use this OM4 cable for short-reach multimode links and pair it with compatible OM4 transceivers and high-density LC ports. Maintain bend radius guidelines and keep connectors clean to preserve low insertion loss and long-term signal stability.
