Fibre Optic Patch Cable LC-SC OM4 – Reliable Multimode Connection for Fibre Optic Networks
General Information: The OM4 LC-SC fibre optic patch cable is based on proven OM4 multimode fibre technology (50/125µm) 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 in many data centres and corporate networks.
Function: The LC-SC fibre optic patch cable enables stable and low-loss signal transmission between active network components such as switches, transceivers, media converters or patch panels. Due to the precise UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polish, low insertion loss and return loss are achieved, supporting constantly reliable data transmission even at higher bandwidths.
Application: The LC-SC 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). Due to the combination of LC and SC plugs, the cable is particularly suitable for connections between different connection standards, for example between patch panels, switches, transceivers or existing fibre optic infrastructure.
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. 2mm, 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 in static installation and 20 × cable diameter in dynamic use. Equipped with an LC-Duplex plug on one side and an SC-Duplex plug on the other side, the cable ensures a precise and secure connection between different connector types. The temperature range is -20°C to +60°C, easily covering typical IT environments.
Conclusion: The LC-SC OM4 fibre optic patch cable is a reliable and field-proven solution for multimode fibre optic connections with different connector types. 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-SC fibre optic patch cable gets a clean, everyday solution for professional multimode cabling here.

FAQ
What Does the Abbreviation SC Mean in Fibre Optic Patch Cables?
- SC stands for Subscriber Connector. It is a fibre optic connector with a push-pull latching mechanism, commonly used in fibre optic outlets and patch panels.
For Which Devices Is an SC LC Fibre Optic Patch Cable Suitable?
- An SC LC fibre optic patch cable is used to connect devices with an LC port, such as SFP or SFP+ transceivers, to components with an SC coupler, such as patch panels or fibre optic outlets.
How Is an SC LC Fibre Optic Patch Cable Connected Between a Transceiver and a Fibre Optic Outlet?
- The LC side of the SC LC fibre optic patch cable is plugged into the LC port of the transceiver, while the SC side is inserted into a matching SC coupler on the fibre optic outlet or patch panel.
