Fiber Optic Cable Helos LWL Patch Cable Uniboot LC/LC Duplex 50/125µm OM4 20.0m Black

The Helos LWL Patch Cable Uniboot LC/LC Duplex 50/125µm OM4 20.0m Black is a multimode fiber optic patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in modern network environments. The cable uses 50/125µm fiber and meets the OM4 multimode standard, providing elevated bandwidth and supporting higher data rates over moderate distances. The duplex LC/LC connectors in a Uniboot configuration allow for two-way communication while minimizing connector footprint and simplifying cable routing. The 20.0 meter length and black jacket offer flexibility for rack-to-rack and between-equipment connections while maintaining a discreet appearance.

Advantages

The Uniboot LC/LC duplex design reduces space requirements in patch panels and improves cable management by combining both fibers into a single compact boot. OM4 multimode fiber delivers higher modal bandwidth compared with lower OM classes, enabling more reliable transmission of high data-rate signals. The 50/125µm core/cladding structure is compatible with standard multimode transceivers used in data centers and enterprise networks. A 20.0 meter length balances reach and manageability for typical in-building installations.

Suitable for

• Data center patching between switches, servers, and storage arrays
• Enterprise network backbone and horizontal cabling
• High-speed links using multimode transceivers (short to moderate distances)
• Environments requiring compact connector density and organized cable routing

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode 50/125 µm
• OM rating: OM4
• Connector ends: LC to LC duplex (Uniboot)
• Cable length: 20.0 m
• Jacket color: Black

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces for cleanliness before installation and clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools if necessary. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for multimode fiber to prevent signal loss. Insert LC connectors into compatible LC ports on transceivers, patch panels, or equipment until the latch engages. Ensure duplex orientation matches transmit/receive pairs on connected devices. Secure excess cable with proper management accessories to prevent strain on connectors and maintain orderly routing.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable to avoid bending below the specified minimum radius and protect connector endfaces from dust and damage. Use OM4-rated transceivers and equipment to take advantage of the cable’s bandwidth capabilities. Periodically inspect and clean connectors in environments with high dust or frequent re-patching to maintain optimal performance.
