Fibre optic cable BlueOptics 4Z57A10849-BO 10 m 2x LC LC/UPC

The BlueOptics 4Z57A10849-BO is a 10 m fibre optic patch cable with LC/UPC connectors on both ends and OM4 multimode fibre with a 50 µm core diameter. Designed for high-speed links in data centre and enterprise networks, this cable supports short- to medium-range multimode transmission and is suitable for connecting patch panels, switches, transceivers and other optical equipment. The cable jacket is LSZH (low smoke zero halogen), reducing smoke and toxic gas release in case of fire.

Advantages

This OM4 LC–LC cable delivers low attenuation and high return-loss characteristics appropriate for modern multimode applications. The use of laser-optimized multimode fibre provides stable bandwidth and supports higher data rates over the specified distances. Factory testing with interferometer and OTDR ensures measured input loss and return loss values are supplied with each cable. The LC/UPC connectors use zirconia ceramic ferrules for precise alignment and long-term durability.

Suitable for

• Interconnections between patch panels and network switches
• Short- and medium-distance multimode links in data centres
• Connecting optical transceivers and SFP/SFP+ modules
• Multimode fibre backbone segments in enterprise networks

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM4 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC, UPC polish
• Cable length: 10 meters
• Jacket: LSZH (low smoke zero halogen)
• Typical attenuation: approx. 3.5 dB/km
• Connector ferrule: zirconia ceramic
• Durability: up to ~1500 mating cycles (connector lifetime estimate)

How to use

Route the BlueOptics LC–LC OM4 cable between the desired ports, taking care to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress. Insert LC connectors into the corresponding LC/UPC ports on patch panels, transceivers or switches until they click into place. Use labelled patch panels or cable management to keep runs organised and to maintain bend radii recommended for multimode fibre. When disconnecting, release the connector latch and pull straight out to avoid stressing the fibre.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment; avoid contaminating connector endfaces. Clean connector endfaces with proper fibre cleaning tools before mating and verify link performance with test reports provided. For best results in data centre installations, maintain minimum bend radii, use appropriate cable management, and choose OM4 multimode links where required bandwidth and reach align with system transceiver specifications.
