Fibre Optic Cable ShiverPeaks BS77926/4 10m LC Violet

The ShiverPeaks BS77926/4 10m LC Violet is an OM4 multimode fibre optic patch cable with LC connectors on both ends and a 50 µm core diameter. Designed for high-density networking and data centre environments, this 10-metre cable supports full duplex links and is intended for short- to medium-range high-bandwidth applications. The violet jacket provides clear visual identification for network segmentation and easy routing in patch panels and cable trays.

Advantages

This OM4 fibre cable provides enhanced modal bandwidth compared with earlier multimode grades, enabling higher data rates over typical data centre distances. The LC connectors offer a small form factor that saves rack space and simplifies connections on high-density equipment. The 10 m length delivers flexibility for typical rack-to-rack and patch-panel interconnects while the violet outer jacket improves colour-coded management and reduces the chance of accidental disconnects due to misidentification.

Suitable for

• Data centre uplinks and cross-connects
• High-speed Ethernet links (10G, 40G and certain runs for 100G where multimode is supported)
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch patching within enterprise racks
• Structured cabling where colour-coded fibre runs are used

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM4 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC, duplex
• Length: 10 metres
• Jacket colour: violet

How to use

Inspect both LC connectors and ensure dust caps are removed before insertion. Route the 10 m patch cable through cable management guides to avoid tight bends and secure it to prevent mechanical strain on connectors. Insert each LC connector into the appropriate duplex port until it clicks, observing transmit/receive orientation for full duplex links. When disconnecting, press the latch on the LC connector and pull straight out to avoid damaging the ferrule or connector housing. Store with gentle coils and avoid sharp bends to preserve fibre integrity.

Usage recommendations

Use this OM4 LC duplex cable for short- to medium-distance high-bandwidth connections in controlled environments. Clean connectors with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before mating, avoid exceeding minimum bend radius during installation, and maintain proper labelling to take advantage of the violet jacket for organised cable management.
