Fiber Optical Duplex Cable InLine 88502P 2m LC/ST 50/125µm OM4

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable 2m LC/ST 50/125µm OM4 is a duplex multimode fiber patch cord designed for high-speed network links and reliable signal transmission. With a 50 µm core and OM4 grade glass, the cable supports dense data applications and extended reach compared to lower-grade multimode fibers. The LC connector on one end and ST connector on the other provide compatibility with a wide range of active equipment and patch panels in data centers and telecommunication environments.

Advantages

This LC/ST duplex fiber cable delivers consistent optical performance with low attenuation and improved modal bandwidth typical of OM4 fiber. The 2 m length offers flexible routing in rack environments without excessive slack, while the duplex construction enables full-duplex communication for simultaneous transmit and receive channels. Connectors are keyed for easy mating, and the multimode 50/125 µm core provides a balance between ease of termination and high-speed transmission capacity.

Suitable for

• Interconnects between switches, transceivers and patch panels in data centers
• Short- to medium-reach multimode fiber links in enterprise networks
• High-density cabling applications requiring LC and ST connector compatibility
• Multimode optical setups using OM4 fiber for 10/25/40/100 Gbps transceivers

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM4
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Configuration: Duplex
• Connectors: LC (one end) to ST (other end)
• Cable length: 2 m
• Jacket type: Multimode patch cable jacket (flexible for rack routing)

How to use

Route the duplex fiber cable between the LC-equipped module or transceiver and the ST port on the target device or patch panel, ensuring the correct orientation for transmit and receive channels. Carefully remove connector dust caps before insertion and avoid bending the cable below its minimum bend radius to prevent increased attenuation or damage. Secure excess cable in cable management trays or behind racks to maintain orderly pathways and reduce strain on connectors. If cleaning is required, use fiber-specific cleaning tools and procedures before mating connectors.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment, avoid sharp bends, and ensure connectors are covered with dust caps when not in use. For installations supporting higher-speed transceivers, verify transceiver and link budgets to confirm OM4 multimode fiber meets distance and performance requirements.
