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

The ROLINE Fibre Optic Jumper Cable OM4 50/125µm LC/SC 10m is a 10-meter duplex patch cable designed for high-speed network connections in data centers and campus backbones. It uses laser-optimized OM4 multimode fiber (50 µm core) with LC and SC connectors, providing extended bandwidth and improved reach for 10 Gbit/s and higher applications while maintaining compatibility with lower data rates.

Advantages

OM4 laser-optimized fiber delivers a high modal bandwidth (4700 MHz·km) that supports longer reaches at 10 Gbit/s and enables reliable performance for 40 and 100 Gbit/s systems. The 50/125 µm construction ensures compatibility with standard multimode transceivers, and the LC/SC connector combination offers flexible connection options. The 10 m length and duplex design make the cable suitable for linking equipment within racks and between nearby distribution points.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbit/s Ethernet links in data centers and building backbones (up to ~550 m)
• 40 Gbit/s and short-reach 100 Gbit/s systems in high-performance environments
• Connections between switches, servers and patch panels within racks and nearby rooms
• Fibre Channel and OIF applications requiring OM4 performance

How to use

Install the cable by plugging the LC and SC connectors into the corresponding ports on transceivers, switches or patch panels. Ensure connectors are clean before insertion to avoid signal loss; use dust caps until ready to connect. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid excessive tension; follow typical minimum bend radius guidelines for multimode fiber. For duplex operation, match transmit and receive ports correctly on each device.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use OM4 cabling for 10 Gbit/s links where extended reach is required and for short-reach 40/100 Gbit/s applications in data centers. Keep connectors clean, secure cable runs in trays or ties without crushing the jacket, and verify link performance after installation with appropriate fiber test equipment.
