Glasvezel-duplexkabel LC/LC InLine 88549P 10m OM4 50/125µm

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/LC 88549P 10m OM4 50/125µm is a multimode fiber patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in professional networks and data center environments. Featuring LC connectors on both ends and OM4 grade fiber with a 50/125 µm core/cladding structure, the cable provides improved bandwidth and lower modal dispersion compared with lower-grade multimode fibers. The 10 metre length makes it suitable for connecting racks, switches, servers and active equipment where short to medium runs are required.

Advantages

This LC/LC duplex cable offers low insertion loss and high return loss consistent with OM4 performance requirements, helping maintain signal integrity across short and medium distances. The duplex format enables simultaneous transmit and receive channels within a single jacket, reducing cable clutter and simplifying routing. The standardized LC terminations provide compact connector size and reliable mechanical performance in high-density panels and transceivers.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between switches, patch panels and transceivers in data centers
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch links in enterprise networks
• High-bandwidth applications such as 10G, 25G and 40G multimode links where OM4 is specified
• Telecommunications rooms, equipment racks and structured cabling installations

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM4
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC duplex
• Length: 10 m
• Jacket: Flexible outer sheath suitable for indoor installations
• Performance: Low insertion loss and optimized modal bandwidth for OM4

How to use

Before installation, verify that transceivers and patch panel ports accept LC connectors and are compatible with multimode OM4 fiber. Gently remove protective caps from the LC connectors, avoiding contamination of the fiber endfaces. Route the cable along intended pathways, avoiding sharp bends and mechanical strain; maintain bend radii recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Insert each LC connector into the corresponding port until it latches; ensure proper polarity for duplex links. After connection, inspect endfaces with a fiber inspection tool if available and perform link verification using appropriate test equipment.

Recommendations

Store and handle the fiber cable in a clean environment to prevent contamination. Use dust caps when connectors are not mated. Avoid excessive bending, crushing or tension; follow recommended minimum bend radius and maximum tensile load. For critical links, perform insertion loss and return loss measurements after installation and periodically during maintenance.
