Fiber Optical Duplex Cable SC/SC InLine 83501P 50/125µm OM4 1m

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable SC/SC 50/125µm OM4 1m is a single‑mode-rated multimode duplex patch cable engineered for high‑speed short‑reach links. It features SC male connectors on both ends in a duplex configuration and a 50/125 µm core/cladding dimension specified as OM4 multimode fiber, offering increased bandwidth for 10GbE and higher short‑reach applications. At 1 meter length the cable is suitable for rack‑to‑equipment connections and patching in data centers, telecom closets and server rooms where low insertion loss and secure duplex transmission are required.

Advantages

This OM4 duplex cable provides consistent multimode performance with a 50 µm core that supports higher modal bandwidth compared with standard multimode grades. The SC/SC duplex termination ensures stable mechanical mating and simple polarity management for full‑duplex links. The short 1 m length reduces excess slack in densely populated racks and helps maintain tidy cabling runs while minimizing attenuation and backreflection typical for longer fibers.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet patching in data centers and enterprise networks
• Short‑reach multimode links between switches, transceivers and servers
• Telecommunications equipment racks and optical patch panels
• Laboratory and testbench fiber connectivity for OM4 transceivers

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM4
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector type: SC duplex to SC duplex
• Polishing type: typically UPC (depending on factory termination)
• Length: 1 m
• Configuration: Duplex (two fibers) for full‑duplex transmission
• Typical use: Short‑reach, high‑bandwidth multimode links

How to use

Connect each SC connector to the corresponding SC port on equipment or patch panels, ensuring correct polarity for transmit and receive channels. Handle the cable by the connector boots and avoid tight bends; maintain the minimum bend radius specified for multimode fiber to prevent increased attenuation. Verify connections visually and, if available, use optical power meters or transceiver diagnostics to confirm signal levels and link integrity after installation.

Recommendations

Store and route the cable away from electrical noise sources and sharp edges. For reliable long‑term performance, keep connectors clean using appropriate fiber cleaning tools and caps when not in use. Use this 1 m OM4 duplex cable for short patch runs; for longer distances select fibers and transceivers specified for the required reach.
