ACT 2 meter Multimode 50/125 OM4 Polarity Twist fiber cable with LC connectors

The ACT 2 meter Multimode 50/125 OM4 Polarity Twist fiber cable with LC connectors is a factory-terminated optical patch cable engineered for high-density network environments. With a 50 µm core diameter and OM4 graded-index multimode fiber specification, this 2 m cable supports high-speed data transmission and reduced modal dispersion, making it suitable for short-range links in data centers, enterprise networks, and telecommunication racks. The LC connectors provide a compact duplex interface while the polarity twist design enables flexible connection orientations and simplified patching when aligning transmit and receive channels.

Advantages

This multimode OM4 fiber cable offers improved bandwidth and lower attenuation over standard multimode types for optimized performance in 10G, 40G and 100G short-range applications. The LC connectors are compact and reliable for dense patch panels and transceiver ports. The polarity twist feature streamlines cable management by allowing polarity change without re-termination, reducing downtime during reconfiguration. The 2 meter length balances reach and manageability in rack and cabinet setups.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches, servers and storage in data centers
• Short-range multimode links in telecom and enterprise LANs
• Patch panel to transceiver connections in high-density racks
• Environments requiring polarity reversal without fiber re-termination

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM4, graded-index
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Length: 2 meters
• Connector type: LC duplex on both ends
• Polarity: Twist-enabled duplex polarity for TX/RX alignment
• Typical applications: Short-range high-speed links (10G/40G/100G)

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces for cleanliness before installation and clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools if necessary. Route the 2 meter cable through the rack or cabinet space avoiding tight bends; maintain the specified minimum bend radius for multimode fiber. Insert LC connectors into corresponding LC ports on networking equipment or patch panels, ensuring proper duplex orientation for transmit and receive channels. If signal direction needs to be reversed, use the polarity twist feature to change alignment without disconnecting or re-terminating the cable.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, keep connectors capped when not in use, avoid exceeding the cable's minimum bend radius, and perform endface inspections periodically. Use this OM4 multimode cable for short-reach, high-bandwidth connections and pair it with LC-compatible transceivers and patch panels designed for multimode operation.
