Fibre optic cable ROLINE OM4 LC/LC 5m

Fibre optic cable ROLINE OM4 LC/LC 5m with LC connectors on both ends and a 5 m length, designed for high-speed data transmission in data centers and high-performance networks. The OM4 multimode 50/125µm fiber provides elevated modal bandwidth and is suitable for long building backbones and medium-length campus backbones, supporting applications such as 10 Gb/s Ethernet, Fibre Channel and OIF to distances up to 550 m. The cable and connectors are manufactured to ROLINE quality standards and have a purple jacket.

Advantages

The assembly uses low-loss LC connectors to deliver low insertion loss and improved return loss compared with standard connectors. OM4 fiber offers a modal bandwidth of 4700 MHz·km, enabling higher data rates and extended link distances. Typical attenuation for low-loss LC connectors is around 0.15 dB compared with about 0.5 dB for standard LC connectors. Materials and jacketing comply with ROLINE quality.

Suitable for

• 10 Gb/s Ethernet links up to 550 m
• Fibre Channel and OIF applications
• Data center interconnects and high-performance network backbone segments
• Upgrading or extending OM3 installations with backward compatibility

How to use

Install the duplex LC/LC cable by inserting the LC connectors into the corresponding LC ports on networking equipment such as switches, transceivers or patch panels. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to minimize insertion loss. Route and secure the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; follow equipment vendor bend-radius guidelines. Verify link performance after installation with appropriate test equipment when required.

Recommendations

Use low-loss LC connectors with OM4 multimode fiber for links that require reduced insertion loss and extended reach; keep connectors protected with dust caps when not in use and perform regular inspection and cleaning to maintain signal quality.
