Fibre optic cable BlueOptics 4X97A81908-BO SN LC OM4 5 m Pink

The BlueOptics 4X97A81908-BO SN LC OM4 5 m Pink is a 5-metre multimode fibre optic patch cable engineered for high-speed data transmission in network and datacentre environments. It uses OM4 laser-optimized multimode fibre with a 50 µm core diameter and SN (UPC) to LC (UPC) connectors to ensure low attenuation and consistent optical performance. The cable is sheathed in flame-retardant LSZH material and is suitable for connecting patch panels, transceivers and other optical equipment where reliable multimode links are required.

Advantages

This OM4 fibre cable provides enhanced bandwidth and reduced modal dispersion compared with lower-grade multimode cables, supporting higher data rates over short to medium distances. The LC connector offers a compact form factor for high-density panels, while the SN (UPC) end provides compatibility with transceivers that accept SN/UPC-style plugs. The LSZH sheath reduces smoke and toxic emissions in case of fire, making it appropriate for indoor installations with safety requirements. The pink jacket enables easy visual identification in complex cabling environments.

Suitable for

• Patch panel-to-patch panel connections in data centres and server rooms
• Connecting optical transceivers to network equipment
• High-speed multimode links for storage and virtualization systems
• Indoor backbone or horizontal cabling where LSZH is required

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM4 laser-optimized multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Length: 5 metres
• Connector pair: SN (UPC) to LC (UPC)
• Sheath: LSZH (low smoke zero halogen), flame retardant
• Jacket colour: Pink for easy identification

How to use

Inspect connectors and ports for dust or debris before insertion and, if available, use a fibre cleaning tool to ensure optimal optical contact. Align the SN (UPC) and LC (UPC) connectors with their respective ports and insert until the latch engages; avoid excessive bending or tension on the cable by observing the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. For rack or panel installations, route the cable through cable managers or trays to prevent kinking and secure the ends in appropriate adapters or transceiver ports.

Recommendations

Store the cable coiled loosely to avoid permanent bends. Clean connector endfaces before deployment, keep the cable within its rated bend radius during installation, and prefer LSZH-compliant pathways for indoor use where low smoke and halogen-free materials are required.
