Fibre optic cable ROLINE 21.15.8658 LC LC/LC OM4 20 m Violet

ROLINE Fiber Optic Uniboot LSOH Patch Cord LC/LC OM4, 20 m, violet. This high-performance OM4 multimode fibre cable with LC connectors on both ends supports full-duplex communication and is designed for high-density fibre installations. The uniboot LC connector combines both fibres in a single, compact housing, reducing connector bulk and enabling denser patch panels. Changing fibre polarity can be done easily without special tools.

Advantages

The uniboot design halves the connector footprint compared to conventional duplex connectors while using a single jacket for both fibres, which simplifies cable management in rack and data centre environments. OM4 specification (50 µm core) provides improved bandwidth and performance for high-speed applications such as InfiniBand and 10/40/100 Gigabit Ethernet. The LSOH jacket reduces smoke and toxic emissions in case of fire, and the LC connectors ensure reliable, standardized terminations.

Suitable for

• High-density patch panels and fibre backbone installations
• InfiniBand links and high-speed data centre networks
• 10/40/100 Gigabit Ethernet connections within buildings
• Environments requiring low-smoke zero-halogen (LSOH) cabling

How to use

Route the patch cord between the required LC ports on switches, transceivers or patch panels, ensuring minimum bend radius is maintained. Insert the LC connectors into the matching LC sockets until they click into place. If polarity change is needed, adjust the fibre orientation at the uniboot connector according to standard polarity procedures; no special tools are required. Secure the cable with appropriate cable management to avoid strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep the fibre ends clean and inspect connectors before each installation. Avoid tight bends and excessive pulling force; follow manufacturer guidelines for minimum bend radius and handling.
