Fiber optic duplex patch cable S-Conn LC to ST OM4 violet 2.0 m

Duplex fiber optic patch cable S-Conn LC to ST OM4 in violet, 2.0 m, provides a ready-made multimode connection between devices with LC and ST ports. This pre-terminated OM4 cable supports duplex transmission and is intended for high-speed multimode links in data centers, LAN backbones and telecom racks. The violet jacket helps with easy identification in cable bundles while the LC and ST connectors offer simple plug-and-play operation for compatible networking equipment.

Advantages

The cable uses OM4 multimode fiber to support higher bandwidth and extended reach compared with lower-grade multimode options, making it suitable for demanding short-range installations. Having LC connector on one end and ST on the other provides compatibility between modern equipment with LC ports and legacy or specialized devices using ST. The 2.0 m length balances reach and cable management within rack and cabinet environments, and the violet jacket improves visual organization in multi-cable runs.

Suitable for

• Short-range multimode connections in data centers and server rooms
• LAN backbone links and patching between switch panels
• Interfacing equipment with LC ports to devices with ST ports
• Telecom racks, patch panels and fiber distribution frames

When it may not be suitable

This cable is a multimode OM4 duplex patch lead and is not suitable for singlemode fiber networks or long-haul singlemode links where singlemode cables and appropriate transceivers are required. It is also not appropriate when different connector types or custom lengths are needed; in those cases choose a matching connector type or order a custom-length cable.

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM4 multimode
• Configuration: Duplex (two fibers)
• Connectors: LC connector on one end, ST connector on the other
• Length: 2.0 m
• Jacket color: Violet

How to use

Ensure both network devices are powered down or follow hot‑swap guidance from device manufacturers. Insert the LC connector into the LC port and the ST connector into the ST port until each engages securely; the ST connector uses a bayonet-style coupling and the LC uses a snap-style latch. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and physical stress, keeping bend radius within manufacturer recommendations for OM4 multimode fiber. Verify link status and test signal quality with appropriate network tools or transceiver diagnostics after installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that both endpoints require OM4 multimode fiber and that LC-to-ST connector pairing matches your equipment.
• Measure required cable length including routing path to ensure 2.0 m is sufficient.
• Check whether jacket color coding and duplex orientation meet your cable management standards.

Usage recommendations

Use the S-Conn LC to ST OM4 duplex patch cable for short-range, high-bandwidth multimode connections inside racks and between patch panels. Keep the cable protected from crushing, maintain gentle bends, and periodically inspect connector endfaces for contamination—clean using fiber-optic cleaning tools as needed to maintain optimal signal performance.
