Network Cable LYNX LX-DPX-LC/SC-OM4-2 LC/SC OM4 2m

The LYNX LX-DPX-LC/SC-OM4-2 duplex patch cable is a 2-metre multimode fiber connection designed for high-speed data transmission in structured networks. Built with OM4 50/125 µm multimode fiber and LC to SC terminations, this cable provides reliable optical performance for links between network switches, servers, media converters and patch panels. Its duplex configuration supports bi-directional communication over two fibers and is suitable for short- to medium-range interconnects in data centers, server rooms and office network racks.

Advantages

The OM4 multimode core offers improved bandwidth and lower modal dispersion compared to lower-grade multimode fibers, enabling higher data rates and extended reach for multimode systems. LC and SC connectors provide wide compatibility with modern transceivers and legacy equipment, while the factory-terminated duplex design ensures consistent polishing and low insertion loss. The 2 m length balances manageability and reach for common rack-to-rack and equipment-to-patch-panel runs.

Suitable for

• Interconnection between switches, routers and patch panels in data centers
• Server-to-switch links in server rooms and equipment racks
• Connections involving media converters, transceivers and optical modules
• Office backbone and horizontal fiber runs requiring OM4 performance

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM4 multimode, 50/125 µm
• Configuration: Duplex (two fibers)
• Connectors: LC (one end) to SC (other end)
• Length: 2 metres
• Typical performance: optimized for high-bandwidth multimode links and reduced modal dispersion
• Application range: short- to medium-distance optical interconnects

How to use

Route the duplex cable between equipment ports that accept LC and SC terminations, taking care to maintain minimum bend radius recommended for multimode fiber during installation. Insert the LC connector into the LC port and the SC connector into the SC adapter or port until a secure click or latch is felt. For duplex operation observe correct fiber pair orientation and polarity in relation to transmit and receive ports. Avoid contaminating connector end-faces; inspect and clean connectors with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before making connections to ensure low insertion loss.

Usage recommendations

Store the cable coiled without tight bends and avoid kinks. Use dust caps when connectors are not in use, and follow site-specific cable management best practices to prevent strain on terminations. For systems requiring maximum reach or single-mode performance, verify optical link budgets and consider appropriate fiber types and transceivers.
