Fiber Optical Duplex Cable InLine 88645P 50/125µm OM4 5m

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable 50/125µm OM4 in a 5 m length is a multimode duplex patch cable designed for high-bandwidth data links in structured cabling and network equipment. With OM4 multimode fiber and a 50 µm core diameter, the cable supports reliable full duplex communication and reduced modal dispersion for improved transmission performance over short to medium distances. Its duplex construction and standard connectors make it suitable for connecting switches, transceivers and patch panels in data centers and enterprise networks.

Advantages

This OM4 50/125µm fiber cable offers higher bandwidth and lower attenuation compared with lower-grade multimode fibers, enabling greater data throughput and extended reach for multimode applications. The duplex configuration provides simultaneous transmit and receive channels for full duplex operation, while the 5 m length delivers a balance between flexibility and tidy cable management. The cable's design reduces insertion loss and helps maintain stable optical performance in typical networking environments.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting network switches and patch panels in data centers
• Linking SFP/SFP+ transceivers and optical modules for server uplinks
• Structured cabling in LAN environments requiring multimode OM4 performance
• Short- to medium-range multimode fiber links such as campus or rack-to-rack connections

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM4
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Configuration: Duplex
• Cable length: 5 m
• Connector type: Duplex optical connectors compatible with standard transceivers (industry-standard form factor)
• Typical application: High-bandwidth multimode links for data center and enterprise LANs

How to use

Route the duplex fiber cable between devices ensuring the connectors match the transceiver or adapter type used in each port. Align the transmit and receive channels correctly according to equipment labeling to maintain full duplex operation. Avoid sharp bends and secure the cable with appropriate cable management accessories to prevent microbends that can increase attenuation. When connecting to patch panels or switches, insert connectors until they click into place and verify link status through network equipment indicators or management interfaces.

Recommendations

Handle the cable by the connector boots and avoid touching the ferrule endfaces; keep protective caps on when not in use. Maintain bend radius recommendations for multimode fiber, keep the cable away from sources of mechanical stress, and clean connector endfaces with approved fiber cleaning tools before mating to reduce insertion loss and ensure reliable optical performance.
