Fibre Optic Jumper Cable ROLINE OM4 50/125 µm LC/LC 1 m

ROLINE Fibre Optic Jumper Cable OM4 50/125 µm LC/LC, 1 m, is a purple OM4 multimode patch cable designed for high-speed network links. With a 50 µm core and laser-optimized OM4 fiber, this LC-to-LC jumper supports full duplex transmission and is intended for use in data centres, server rooms and building or campus backbone installations where extended bandwidth and reach are required.

Advantages

The OM4 fiber provides extended bandwidth and a laser bandwidth of 4700 MHz·km, enabling reliable 10 Gbit/s performance beyond 300 m and up to about 550 m, as well as support for higher-rate 40 Gbit/s and 100 Gbit/s applications over short to medium distances. The LC/LC connectors ensure compact, standardized terminations for patch panels and transceivers, while the 1 m length offers simple patching between nearby ports. Color coding (purple) identifies OM4 grade fiber for easy management.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbit/s connections in data centres and server rooms
• 40/100 Gbit/s short-reach links between switches and equipment
• Building and campus backbone segments up to ~550 meters at 10 Gbit/s
• Full duplex LC-to-LC patching in fibre panels and transceivers

How to use

Connect one LC connector to the optical transceiver or patch panel port and the other LC connector to the corresponding port on the switch, server or patch panel. Ensure connectors and transceiver ports are clean before insertion to avoid signal loss. Route the 1 m jumper without sharp bends and avoid excessive tensile stress; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode fiber. For rack installations, use cable management to prevent kinking and to keep fiber runs organized.

Usage recommendations

Use this OM4 LC/LC jumper for short patching and interconnects in data centres and backbone cross-connects where OM4 performance is required. For distances beyond the specified reach or for single-mode long-haul links, select appropriate fiber types and transceivers. Regularly inspect and clean LC connectors to maintain optimal signal quality.
