Fibre optic cable ROLINE OM4 LC/LC 10m

Fibre optic cable ROLINE OM4 LC/LC 10m is a 10-metre duplex multimode OM4 cable with LC connectors on both ends and a purple jacket. It is intended for high-speed data transmission in networks that demand low insertion loss and high modal bandwidth, supporting 10 Gb/s Ethernet, Fibre Channel and OIF applications up to 550 m.

Advantages

The cable uses OM4 multimode fibre and low-loss LC connectors to minimise insertion loss and reflection, delivering typical connector attenuation significantly lower than standard LC connectors. With a modal bandwidth of 4700 MHz·km and ROLINE material and jacket quality, the assembly provides stable performance for long building backbones and medium-length campus links.

Suitable for

• 10 Gb/s Ethernet links up to 550 m
• Fibre Channel and OIF applications
• Data centre interconnects and server-to-switch cabling
• Building backbones and campus backbone segments

Key specifications

• Connector type: LC to LC (duplex)
• Fibre type: Multimode 50/125 µm, OM4
• Modal bandwidth: 4700 MHz·km
• Typical attenuation (low-loss LC connector): 0.15 dB
• Color: purple
• Brand / MPN / EAN: ROLINE / 21.15.8880 / 7611990111336

How to use

Install the ROLINE OM4 LC/LC 10m cable by connecting the LC duplex connectors to compatible LC ports on network devices. Ensure correct polarity when mating the transmit and receive pairs. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid excessive tensile force; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for 50/125 µm multimode fibre. Verify connections and test link performance with appropriate optical test equipment after installation.

Recommendations

Use low-loss LC connectors and follow standard fibre handling procedures. For distances approaching the 550 m guideline, confirm link performance with eye-diagram or insertion loss testing and consider using active equipment that matches OM4 performance specifications.
