Fibre optic cable BlueOptics 4Z57A10848 5 m LC OM4 125 µm

The BlueOptics 4Z57A10848 is a 5 m fibre optic cable with LC connectors and OM4 multimode fibre with a 125 µm core diameter. Designed for high-speed data transmission, this patch cable is intended for use in structured cabling, data centres and network racks where low loss and high bandwidth are required. The cable's LC terminations provide a compact connector form factor suitable for high-density installations.

Advantages

This OM4 fibre cable offers increased bandwidth and lower attenuation compared with lower-grade multimode alternatives, supporting higher data rates over moderate distances. The LC connectors reduce port space usage and are compatible with standard LC interfaces on transceivers and patch panels. The 5 m length balances reach and manageability for typical rack-to-rack and equipment-to-equipment connections.

Suitable for

• Data centre patching and fibre backbone links
• High-speed Ethernet connections (10G, 25G and beyond where OM4 is supported)
• Patch panels, network switches and transceiver interconnections
• Short to medium reach multimode fibre runs within server rooms and telecom cabinets

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM4 multimode
• Connector type: LC to LC
• Cable length: 5 m
• Core/cladding diameter: 125 µm core (multimode standard)
• Jacket colour: Blue

How to use

Route the fibre cable along designated cable management paths and avoid tight bends; maintain the minimum bend radius specified for multimode fibre to prevent increased attenuation. Insert the LC connectors into matching LC ports on transceivers, patch panels or network switches until they click into place. Secure excess cable length with Velcro ties or cable organizers rather than tight zip ties to preserve cable geometry and optical performance. When disconnecting, depress the LC latch before pulling to avoid damaging the connector.

Recommendations

Inspect connectors for dust and clean with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before making connections. Use this OM4 cable for applications where higher modal bandwidth is required; verify transceiver and equipment compatibility with OM4 multimode fibre and LC connectors for optimal performance.
