Fibre optic cable Sacon LSD42100050 5 m LC SC Violet

The Sacon LSD42100050 5 m LC–SC OM4 fibre optic cable is designed for short- to medium-range network links that require high bandwidth and low loss. With a 50 µm core and OM4 specification, this violet-coloured duplex cable supports high-speed data transmission for applications in data centres, telecommunications cabinets, and network equipment interconnects. The cable provides reliable optical performance over a 5 metre length and uses an LC connector on one end and an SC connector on the other for flexible equipment compatibility.

Advantages

The OM4 multimode construction with a 50 µm core optimises modal bandwidth for higher data rates and extended reach compared with lower-grade multimode fibres. LC and SC terminations are industry-standard connector types, offering simple push-pull mating and stable optical contact. The duplex design supports bidirectional (full duplex) links, and the 5 m length reduces the need for intermediate patch panels in compact rack layouts. The violet jacket provides easy visual identification in multi-cable installations.

Suitable for

• Data centre patching between switches, servers and transceivers
• Telecom and campus backbone links over short distances
• Interconnects for optical transceivers (LC to SC interfaces)
• High-speed multimode applications such as 10G, 25G and 40G where OM4 is supported

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM4 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Length: 5 m
• Connectors: LC (one end) to SC (other end)
• Configuration: Duplex (two fibres in one jacket) for full duplex communication
• Jacket colour: Violet

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces for cleanliness before installation and clean with appropriate fibre-cleaning tools if necessary. Route the cable in accordance with bend radius requirements for multimode fibre to avoid signal degradation; avoid tight bends and excessive pulling. Insert the LC connector into the LC receptacle and the SC connector into the SC adapter or transceiver port until a secure click or latch is felt. Verify the link using appropriate optical testing or by checking link/activity indicators on connected equipment.

Recommendations

Use the cable within typical indoor environments and route it through cable management trays or patch panels to protect connectors. Maintain minimum bend radius (typically 10× cable diameter for multimode fibre) and avoid tensile loads above manufacturer-recommended pull forces. Perform regular inspection and cleaning of connector endfaces to maintain optimum performance.
