Fibre optic cable ShiverPeaks BS77934/4 15m LC ST Violet

The ShiverPeaks BS77934/4 15m OM4 fibre optic cable with LC and ST connectors is designed for high-bandwidth network links. With a 50 µm core diameter and full duplex capability, this violet-coloured multimode cable supports high-speed data transmission over short to medium ranges. It is suitable for environments requiring reliable, low-loss connections such as data centres, server rooms and high-performance computing setups.

Advantages

This OM4 multimode fibre cable offers increased bandwidth and reduced modal dispersion compared with lower-grade multimode types, enabling efficient 10G and higher data rates at typical campus and data centre distances. The combination of LC and ST connectors allows flexible integration with equipment that uses either connector type. The 15 m length provides reach for rack-to-rack or equipment-to-equipment connections while the violet jacket colour aids visual identification and cable management.

Suitable for

• Data centre interconnects and trunk lines
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch links
• High-performance computing clusters and storage area networks
• Network equipment testing and lab environments

Key specifications

• Length: 15 m
• Fiber type: OM4 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector types: LC on one end, ST on the other
• Mode: full duplex
• Jacket colour: violet

How to use

Inspect connectors and ports for dirt or damage before installation. Align the LC and ST connectors with the corresponding equipment ports and insert until secure; ST connectors typically require a twist-and-lock action while LC connectors use a push-pull latch. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain the manufacturer-recommended minimum bend radius for multimode fibre. After installation, perform optical continuity and insertion loss tests to confirm link integrity and expected performance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable within typical OM4 distance limits for your target data rate, avoid tight bundling with copper power cables, and store unused lengths on reels or in service loops to prevent microbending. Clean end faces with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before mating and verify connections with an optical power meter or certified test equipment when deploying in production networks.
