Fiber Optical Duplex Cable SC/SC InLine 83515P 15m OM4 50/125µm

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable SC/SC 50/125µm OM4 15m is a multimode fiber cable engineered for high-speed data transmission and reliable duplex communication. Featuring SC connectors on both ends and a 15 meter length, this OM4-rated 50/125µm fiber supports elevated bandwidth and extended reach compared with lower-grade multimode fibers. The cable is intended for use in structured cabling environments where stable, low-loss optical connections are required between switches, patch panels, transceivers, and active network equipment.

Advantages

This duplex fiber cable delivers consistent optical performance with reduced modal dispersion due to the OM4 specification, enabling higher data rates and improved signal integrity over greater distances. The SC/SC connector pair provides a push-pull coupling mechanism for secure mating and easy insertion and removal. With a 50 µm core and 125 µm cladding, the cable maintains compatibility with common multimode transceivers and patching infrastructure. The 15 m length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack and room-to-room connections without the need for additional splicing.

Suitable for

• Connections between switches, servers, and patch panels in data centers
• Linking optical transceivers (SFP/SFP+) and network equipment requiring duplex multimode fiber
• Backbone and horizontal cabling in enterprise networks and server rooms
• High-bandwidth applications such as 10GbE, 40GbE (with appropriate transceivers), and SAN connectivity

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM4
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector type: SC to SC duplex
• Length: 15 m
• Polishing: Typically UPC/APC neutral depending on manufacturer standard (check product label)
• Mode bandwidth: OM4 grade for enhanced modal bandwidth and reach
• Cable structure: Duplex jacketed fiber suitable for indoor patching

How to use

Route the cable carefully avoiding tight bends and sharp edges; follow minimum bend radius recommendations for multimode fiber to prevent increased attenuation. Align the SC connectors with corresponding SC ports and insert until the push-pull latch engages; ensure connectors are clean before mating to minimize insertion loss. Use appropriate labeling at both ends to identify link endpoints and verify connectivity with an optical tester or compatible network equipment after installation. If used with transceivers, confirm transceiver and patch panel port polarity matches the duplex pair orientation.

Recommendations

Inspect and clean fiber endfaces before each connection using suitable fiber cleaning tools and procedures. Store unused cable lengths coiled without tight loops and protect connector endfaces with dust caps when not in use. For critical links, perform optical loss testing to validate link performance and document results for maintenance records.
