Fibre optic cable ROLINE OM4 LC/LC 2m

ROLINE OM4 LC/LC 2m fibre optic cable with duplex LC connectors on both ends and a 2 metre length. The cable uses OM4 multimode 50/125 µm fibre offering a modal bandwidth of 4700 MHz·km and is intended for high-speed data transmission in data centres, campus backbones and other network installations requiring elevated bandwidth and low signal loss. The jacket and connector assembly follow ROLINE quality standards and the cable is delivered in purple colour.

Advantages

The OM4 fibre and high-quality low-loss LC connectors provide very low insertion loss and improved return loss compared with standard connectors, resulting in better performance at high bandwidths. The cable supports 10 Gb/s Ethernet, Fibre Channel and OIF applications up to 550 metres, enabling cost-effective solutions for long building backbones and medium-length campus links. Typical attenuation for standard LC connectors is about 0.5 dB, while low-loss LC connectors used here typically achieve approximately 0.15 dB.

Suitable for

• Data centres and server rooms
• 10 Gb/s Ethernet and Fibre Channel links
• Campus and building backbone interconnects
• High-performance computing and storage area networks

How to use

Inspect connectors and ports for dust or damage before installation. Align and insert each LC connector into the corresponding LC duplex adapter or port until it clicks. Route the 2 m cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; respect the minimum bend radius specified by the system or cable manufacturer. For best optical performance, keep connector end-faces clean and use appropriate fibre inspection and cleaning tools when necessary.

Usage recommendations

For reliable long-term operation, use low-loss LC connectors in conjunction with compatible OM4 equipment and ensure regular inspection and cleaning of connector end-faces. Choose this OM4 duplex cable for 10 Gb/s Ethernet and Fibre Channel links where higher modal bandwidth and low insertion loss are required.
