OM4 LC-LC UPC fibre optic patch cable 50/125µm violet

Fibre Optic Patch Cable LC-LC OM4 – Reliable Multimode Connection for Fibre Optic Networks

General Information: The OM4 LC-LC fibre optic patch cable is based on the proven OM4 multimode fibre technology (50/125 µm) and is designed for high data rates in modern fibre optic networks. Unlike OM5, OM4 is not optimised for SWDM, but it offers stable and efficient transmission for classic multimode applications. It is reliably suited for 10G, 40G, and 100G Ethernet and is currently the standard standard in many data centres and corporate networks.

Function: The LC-LC fibre optic patch cable enables stable and low-loss signal transmission between active network components such as switches, transceivers, or patch panels. Due to the precise UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polish, low insertion loss and return loss are achieved, ensuring constantly reliable data transmission – even at higher bandwidths.

Application: The LC LC Multimode Duplex fibre optic patch cable is typically used in data centres, server cabinets, and structured fibre optic installations. The duplex design with two fibres allows simultaneous data transmission in both directions (Tx/Rx). Ideal for connections between patch panels, switches, routers, or SFP/QSFP modules.

Material: The cable features an LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) cable jacket, which produces low smoke emissions and releases no corrosive gases in the event of a fire. With an outer diameter of approx. 2 mm, the cable is flexible and space-saving to route. The violet colour coding corresponds to OM4 and facilitates quick identification in multimode installations.

Technology: The minimum bending radius is 10 × cable diameter (static) and 20 × cable diameter (dynamic). Equipped with LC-Duplex plugs on both sides, the cable ensures a precise and secure connection. The temperature range is -20 °C to +60 °C, easily covering typical IT environments.

Conclusion: The LC-LC OM4 fibre optic patch cable is a reliable and field-proven solution for multimode fibre optic connections. With its duplex design, UPC polish, and LSZH jacket, it is ideal for data centre and network installations where stable and high-performance connections are required. Anyone looking to buy an LC-LC fibre optic patch cable gets a clean, solid solution for daily use here.

FAQ

What Does LC Mean in Fibre Optics?

LC stands for „Lucent Connector“ and is a compact fibre optic connector standard commonly used for fibre optic patch cables and transceivers (e.g. SFP/SFP+).

Does an LC-LC Duplex Plug Fit Into My SFP/SFP+ Transceiver?

Yes, an LC-LC Duplex plug generally fits into SFP/SFP+ transceivers with an LC-Duplex port. It is important that the fibre type (multimode/singlemode) and polish (UPC/APC) match the hardware used.

Can I Plug an LC-LC Patch Cable Into a Fibre Optic Wall Outlet With an LC Coupler?

Yes, as long as the fibre optic outlet has a matching LC coupler (usually LC-Duplex), an LC-LC patch cable can be plugged in directly. Make sure that the OM category and polish type (UPC/APC) are identical.
