Fibre Optic Jumper Cable ROLINE LC/LC OM4 50/125 µm 10 m

The ROLINE Fibre Optic Jumper Cable LC/LC OM4 50/125 µm (10 m) is a multimode patch cable designed for high-bandwidth, short- to medium-reach network connections. With a 50 µm core and OM4 laser-optimized fiber, this 10 m LC-to-LC jumper supports full-duplex links in data centers, enterprise networks and backbone installations that require reliable transmission at 1, 10, 40 and 100 Gbit/s.

Advantages

OM4 multimode fiber provides extended bandwidth and low attenuation, enabling longer reaches at high data rates compared with lower-grade multimode fibers. The LC/LC connector configuration ensures compact, high-density terminations while the 10 m length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack or equipment-to-panel connections. The cable is suitable for Ethernet, Fibre Channel and OIF applications and is optimized for 10 Gbit/s and 40 Gbit/s links.

Suitable for

• Data center trunking and patching between switches and panels
• Enterprise network backbones and inter-rack connections
• High-performance computing clusters and storage area networks (Fibre Channel)
• Short-reach 10 Gbit/s and 40 Gbit/s links, and 100 Gbit/s aggregation with appropriate transceivers

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM4 multimode, 50/125 µm
• Connectors: LC to LC, duplex
• Length: 10 m
• Laser bandwidth: 4700 MHz·km (typical for OM4)
• Supported standards: Ethernet, Fibre Channel, OIF; extended reach up to ~550 m at 10 Gbit/s
• Brand / MPN / EAN: ROLINE / 21.15.8758 / 7611990196333

How to use

Route the LC/LC jumper between compatible LC ports on transceivers, patch panels or switches, observing connector orientation and duplex pairing. Ensure connectors and adapter ports are clean before insertion to minimize signal loss. Secure the cable to cable-management hardware to avoid tight bends; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended by the equipment or cable manufacturer.

Recommendations

For 10 Gbit/s links, OM4 supports extended reaches up to approximately 550 meters; for 40 Gbit/s use typical reaches around 300 meters depending on transceiver type. For short-reach high-density environments such as data centers, OM4 provides higher modal bandwidth than OM3 and is a suitable choice when future upgrades to higher speeds are planned. Regularly inspect and clean LC connectors and avoid excessive bending to maintain optimal performance.
