Fibre optic cable Qoltec 54350 LC SC OM4 3 m Green

The Qoltec 54350 LC–SC OM4 fibre optic cable is a 3 m duplex patch lead designed for high-bandwidth network links. It uses OM4 multimode fibre with a 50 µm core diameter and LC and SC terminations to connect equipment with different connector types. The cable is green, single-mode appearance aside, and intended for short to medium distance links where reliable, low-loss transmission is required within data centers, telecom racks or campus networks.

Advantages

The OM4 multimode construction with a 50 µm core supports increased bandwidth and improved modal performance compared to lower OM grades, enabling higher data rates and longer reach for multimode applications. Duplex configuration provides simultaneous transmit and receive channels for full-duplex communication. Industry-standard LC and SC connectors ensure compatibility with a wide range of switches, transceivers and patch panels. The pre-terminated 3 m length simplifies installation and reduces on-site termination work.

Suitable for

• Data center patching between switches, servers and transceivers
• Telecommunications racks and fiber distribution panels
• Campus network links and horizontal cabling within buildings
• Connections requiring LC to SC interface conversion

Key specifications

How to use

Identify the LC and SC ports on your networking devices or patch panels and align the connectors with the receptacles, ensuring the connector keys and ferrules are correctly oriented before insertion. Insert each connector until it clicks into place, then verify signal link and link status indicators on connected devices. For removal, depress the LC or SC latch and withdraw the connector straight out to avoid damaging the ferrule. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and secure it using cable management accessories to maintain bend radius and reduce mechanical stress.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the fibre cable by the connectors, avoid twisting or kinking the cable, and maintain the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius. Clean connector endfaces before connecting to minimize insertion loss and inspect connectors if performance issues occur. Use this OM4 50 µm cable for multimode links where LC to SC connectivity and a 3 m patch length are required.
