Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/ST InLine 88510P 10m OM4 50/125µm

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/ST 88510P 10m OM4 50/125µm is a duplex multimode fiber cable designed for high-speed data transmission in structured cabling. It combines LC and ST connectors on a 10-metre OM4-rated 50/125 µm fiber core to support full duplex links between network equipment. The OM4 specification enhances modal bandwidth compared with lower OM ratings, enabling reliable signal integrity over typical intra-building and data center distances.

Advantages

This fiber cable offers a 50/125 µm multimode core with OM4 performance to support higher bandwidth applications and improved distance capability relative to OM3/OM2 multimode fibers. The duplex construction allows simultaneous transmit and receive channels for full duplex communications. Using LC and ST connectors provides flexibility when connecting modern LC-enabled transceivers to legacy ST ports or patch panels. The 10 m length gives reach for rack-to-rack or patching applications without intermediate splicing.

Suitable for

• Patch connections in data centers and server rooms
• Inter-rack and intra-rack fiber links
• Connections between LC transceivers and ST-equipped devices
• High-speed enterprise network links requiring OM4 multimode fiber

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• OM rating: OM4
• Connector types: LC (one end) and ST (other end) in duplex configuration
• Length: 10 m
• Mode: Duplex (separate transmit and receive fibers)

How to use

Route the duplex cable between the two networking devices ensuring connectors are compatible with the ports. Insert the LC connector into the LC port and the ST connector into the ST port, taking care to align and fully seat each connector until secure. Avoid tight bends and maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for multimode fiber to prevent attenuation. For installations in cabinets or conduits, secure the cable to prevent strain on the connectors and avoid excessive tension.

Recommendations

Inspect connector endfaces before installation and clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools if necessary. Use OM4-compatible transceivers and ensure patching follows polarity and duplex pairing conventions. Store and handle the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress to preserve optical performance.
