Fibre optic cable S/CONN ShiverPeaks 77936/4 1 m

The ShiverPeaks S/CONN 77936/4 is a 1 m OM4 fibre optic patch cable designed for high-speed, low-loss connections in data centre and enterprise networks. It features an LC connector on one end and an SC connector on the other, a 50 µm multimode core and supports full duplex communication for simultaneous send and receive channels. The cable is intended for short- to medium-range multimode links where OM4 performance is required.

Advantages

This OM4 fibre cable delivers higher bandwidth and lower modal dispersion compared with earlier multimode grades, enabling improved performance for 10 Gb/s and higher short-range links. The combination of LC and SC terminations provides interoperability between equipment with different connector types. The 1 m length reduces unnecessary slack in patching environments and helps maintain tidy cable management while preserving signal integrity and low insertion loss.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between network switches, servers and patch panels in data centres
• Short-range multimode links in enterprise LANs
• Equipment migration where LC-to-SC connectivity is required
• High-density patching shelves and fibre optic enclosures

Key specifications

• Cable type: Multimode OM4
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Length: 1 m
• Topology: Full duplex
• Connectors: LC to SC
• Typical use: Short- to medium-range optical links

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces for cleanliness before installation and remove protective dust caps. Route the cable through existing cable management paths avoiding tight bends and stress points; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to prevent increased attenuation. Plug the LC connector into the LC port and the SC connector into the SC port until each is securely latched. For duplex operation ensure transmit and receive pairs are correctly aligned between devices. If necessary, perform optical power and insertion loss tests after installation to confirm link performance.

Usage recommendations

Use optical cleaning tools or alcohol wipes on connector endfaces when relocating or reconnecting equipment. Keep the 1 m length for short patching runs to reduce excess cabling in high-density racks. For longer links or single-mode requirements, select an appropriate fibre type; for OM4 multimode applications adhere to standards for multimode deployments and verify compatibility with transceivers and active equipment.
