ACT 15 meter Multimode 50/125 OM4 Preterm fiber cable 24F LC Polarity Twist

The ACT 15m Multimode Fiber Cable 50/125 OM4 24F LC Polarity Twist is a factory-terminated, pre‑assembled fiber optic link designed for short‑reach, high‑density network environments. It supports OM4 multimode fiber characteristics optimized for 850 nm wavelengths, suitable for 10 Gb/s connections and other high-bandwidth applications inside data centers, server rooms, and network distribution panels. The cable features 24 LC connectors in a compact format and a polarity twist design to maintain correct channel mapping across multi-fiber links, while the robust jacket and connector housings are intended for reliable long-term installation.

Advantages

The cable offers a ready-to-deploy solution that reduces on-site termination time and the risk of connection errors. OM4 fiber delivers improved bandwidth and lower attenuation for short-distance, high-speed links compared with lower-grade multimode fibers. The 24-fiber LC configuration permits high-density connections within patch panels and trays, and the polarity twist design simplifies pair mapping and minimizes manual rework during installation. Durable construction and factory testing ensure consistent performance out of the box.

Suitable for

• Data center intra-rack and inter-rack connections
• High-density patch panels and network distribution frames
• 10 Gb/s multimode links and other short-reach high-bandwidth applications
• Preterm backbone cabling for moves, adds, and changes (MAC) workflows

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode 50/125 OM4 optimized for 850 nm
• Number of fibers: 24
• Connector type: LC (duplex-style housings in high-density arrangement)
• Cable length: 15 meters
• Polarity: Twist polarity design for correct channel mapping
• Suitable bandwidth: Designed for 10 Gb/s and other short-reach high-bandwidth links

How to use

Route the pre‑terminated ACT multimode cable through cable management paths and secure it to racks or trays to avoid excessive bend radius. Connect LC connectors to the matching LC ports in patch panels, transceivers, or switches, ensuring the polarity mapping aligns with the receiving equipment. Verify signal integrity with appropriate test equipment after installation and label both ends for easy identification during maintenance or MAC operations.

Recommendations

Maintain minimum bend radius guidelines for OM4 multimode fiber, avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress, and use proper cleaning procedures for LC connector endfaces prior to mating. For MAC workflows, use ACT pre‑terminated cables to reduce downtime and accelerate deployment, keeping spare pre‑terminated assemblies in stock for fast changes.
