Fibre optic cable S/CONN ShiverPeaks 77935/4 20 m

The ShiverPeaks S/CONN ShiverPeaks 77935/4 20 m is an OM4 multimode fibre optic patch cable with LC and ST connectors and a 20-metre length. Designed for high-speed data transmission, the cable uses a 50 µm core diameter to support full duplex communication between network devices. The construction and connector types make it suitable for linking equipment in data centers, server rooms, and structured cabling environments where multimode OM4 performance is required.

Advantages

This fibre optic cable offers OM4-grade multimode performance, enabling higher bandwidth and longer reach compared with lower OM classes. The combination of LC and ST connectors provides compatibility with a wide range of networking devices and legacy equipment. With a 20 m length, the cable allows flexible routing in rack-to-rack or room-to-room installations while maintaining low signal attenuation for reliable connections.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches, transceivers and patch panels within data centres and server rooms
• Structured cabling installations requiring multimode OM4 performance
• High-speed LAN links and short-haul fibre backbone segments
• Environments where LC-to-ST connectivity is needed to bridge different equipment types

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM4 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Configuration: duplex
• Connectors: LC on one end and ST on the other
• Length: 20 metres
• Typical applications: short-haul high-bandwidth links in enterprise networks

How to use

Inspect both connector ferrules and port adapters for dust or damage before installation. Align the LC and ST connectors with the corresponding ports on the network devices and insert until they click or seat securely; ST connectors may require a slight twist-and-lock action depending on the port. Use cable management accessories such as velcro straps or horizontal managers to route the cable and avoid tight bends; maintain the minimum bend radius specified for multimode fibres to prevent increased attenuation. For duplex links, ensure the transmit and receive channels are correctly paired at both ends.

Recommendations

Use the cable in controlled indoor environments and avoid exposing it to excessive tension, crushing, or moisture. Clean connector endfaces with appropriate fibre cleaning tools before mating to reduce insertion loss. For critical links, verify performance with optical testing equipment after installation to confirm expected attenuation and connectivity.
