Duplex LWL patch cable SC to SC S-Conn OM4 multimode fiber, violet, 10.0 m

Duplex LWL patch cable SC to SC S-Conn OM4 multimode fiber, violet, 10.0 m is a factory-terminated fiber optic patch cord designed for short-reach, high-bandwidth links. The cable uses OM4 multimode fiber and SC connectors on both ends arranged for duplex transmission. With a 10.0 m jacket in violet, it is intended for organized connections in data centers, server rooms and telecom patch panels where predictable attenuation and reliable mating are required.

Advantages

This S-Conn duplex patch cable provides low insertion loss and consistent performance across multimode links, benefiting from OM4 fiber characteristics for increased bandwidth and extended reach compared with lower-grade multimode types. The SC to SC connector pair ensures a push-pull, snap-in connection that is widely compatible with standard equipment. The violet jacket colour improves visual identification in dense cable environments and the 10.0 m length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack or within-rack routing.

Suitable for

• Data center patching between switches, transceivers and patch panels
• Server room duplex connections for SAN and NAS equipment
• Telecom and campus backbone short-reach multimode links
• Optical lab setups and test deployments requiring OM4 performance

When it may not be suitable

This OM4 multimode SC–SC duplex cable is not suitable for long-distance singlemode links or applications that require singlemode fiber. It is also not appropriate where different connector types (for example LC, ST or FC) are required without adapters or re-termination. Environments that demand armored or direct-burial cable constructions will require a different product.

Key specifications

• Configuration: Duplex multimode fiber patch cable
• Fiber type: OM4 multimode
• Connector type: SC to SC (both ends)
• Length: 10.0 m
• Jacket colour: Violet
• Typical use: Short-reach, high-bandwidth LAN and data center links

How to use

Route the cable along intended pathways in racks or cable trays, avoiding sharp bends and excessive tensile load. Insert the SC connectors into compatible SC ports until they click into place, ensuring correct orientation for duplex transmit/receive pairs. For best performance, keep connectors clean and capped when not in use; if contamination is suspected, clean with appropriate fiber-optic cleaning tools before mating. Verify link operation using link diagnostics or light source and power meter as part of commissioning.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that your equipment uses SC connectors and supports multimode OM4 fiber
• Verify that a 10.0 m length suits your rack and cable routing requirements
• Determine whether duplex SC–SC termination is compatible with existing cabling or if adapters are needed
• Check whether a different jacket type (armored, plenum-rated) is required for your installation environment

Usage recommendations

Use the violet OM4 duplex cable for labeled, short-reach multimode links in data centers and server rooms. Maintain connector cleanliness, avoid tight bends below the fiber minimum bend radius, and verify link performance after installation to ensure low insertion loss and reliable operation.
