Fibre optic cable VALUE 21.99.8838 OM4 LC–LC 7 m, 50 µm, full duplex, violet

VALUE 21.99.8838 is an OM4 multimode fibre optic patch cable, 7 m long, terminated with LC connectors on both ends for full duplex transmission. The cable uses 50 µm core multimode fiber and a violet LSZH jacket for easy identification and safe routing in data centres, network racks and patch panels. It is designed for high-bandwidth short‑reach and campus backbone links where low insertion loss and high modal bandwidth are required.

Advantages

The OM4 fiber construction provides elevated modal bandwidth and supports high data rates at extended distances for multimode links. Low-loss LC connectors reduce insertion loss compared with standard connectors, improving link margin and overall signal integrity. The LSZH jacket limits smoke and toxic emissions in the event of fire, making the cable suitable for indoor installations and enclosed spaces. Violet colour coding simplifies cable management and identification in dense fibre installations.

Suitable for

• 10 Gb/s Ethernet and Fibre Channel multimode links within data centres
• Patch panels and network racks requiring full duplex LC–LC connections
• Campus backbone runs and medium-length building backbones up to the supported OM4 distances

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode 50/125 µm, OM4
• Connector type: LC to LC, duplex
• Length: 7 m
• Modal bandwidth: approximately 4700 MHz·km
• Typical low-loss LC connector attenuation: around 0.15 dB
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Colour: Violet

How to use

Install the LC–LC fibre patch cord by aligning and inserting each LC connector into the corresponding LC adapter or transceiver port until it clicks. Use a dedicated duplex adapter or a pair of adjacent ports to maintain correct transmit/receive orientation for full duplex operation. Route the cable using fibre management trays or Velcro straps to avoid tight bends and maintain the specified minimum bend radius. Avoid touching or contaminating connector endfaces; clean connectors with approved fibre cleaning tools before mating.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, verify end-to-end link loss after installation and keep connector endfaces clean. Use the violet colour for organised patching and documentation. Avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; store and route the cable following manufacturer minimum bend radius guidelines. Consider OM4 fibre for applications requiring higher modal bandwidth and extended multimode distances compared to lower-grade multimode fibres.
