Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/LC InLine 88542P 50/125µm OM4 2m

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/LC 50/125µm OM4 2m is a multimode duplex patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in modern network environments. With LC connectors on both ends and a 50/125 µm core/cladding structure optimized for OM4 performance, this 2-metre cable supports full-duplex connections for switches, transceivers and patch panels where low loss and stable signal integrity are required.

Advantages

This fiber cable offers OM4 multimode performance, which enables higher bandwidth and extended reach compared with lower-grade multimode fibers. The LC/LC duplex termination provides compact, secure connections suitable for dense networking equipment. Its 2 m length is convenient for rack and cabinet patching while minimizing excess cable slack. The cable construction is intended to reduce attenuation and modal dispersion, supporting reliable high-speed links in enterprise and data centre applications.

Suitable for

• Short- to medium-range multimode fiber links in data centres and server rooms
• Patching between switches, transceivers (SFP/SFP+), and fibre distribution panels
• High-bandwidth applications such as 10GbE, 25GbE and other multimode-compatible links
• Structured cabling installations requiring compact LC duplex connectors

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM4
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC duplex
• Length: 2 metres
• Mode: Full duplex
• Typical applications: Multimode Ethernet and data links

How to use

Install the LC/LC fiber duplex cable by aligning and inserting the LC connectors into the corresponding LC ports on your devices or patch panels until they click into place. Ensure both ends are connected to matching transmit and receive ports to maintain correct full-duplex operation. Avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius and keep connectors clean; use appropriate fiber cleaning tools if contamination is suspected. Route the cable neatly within racks or trays to prevent stress and secure it to avoid accidental disconnection.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, verify that connected transceivers and equipment support OM4 multimode fiber and the intended data rates. Clean connector endfaces before installation and avoid tight bends or crushing. Use suitable cable management in racks and maintain length planning to minimize unnecessary attenuation.
