Fibre Optic Jumper Cable Value 50/125µm LC/SC OM4 purple 3.0 m

Fibre Optic Jumper Cable, 50/125µm OM4 with LC to SC connectors, purple, 3.0 m. The OM4 multimode fiber supports current 1 and 10 Gbit/s networks and is specified for future 40 and 100 Gbit/s systems; it offers extended reach (up to around 550 m at 10 Gbit/s) for long building backbones and medium campus links while also providing high laser bandwidth suitable for shorter data center and high-performance computing links.

Advantages

The VALUE OM4 jumper uses 50/125 µm multimode fiber with a high modal bandwidth (approx. 4700 MHz·km) that exceeds IEEE requirements for 10 Gbit/s over 300 m. LC to SC terminated connectors simplify connections to a wide range of equipment. The 3.0 m length and purple jacket allow easy identification in structured cabling, and the cable is made for low insertion loss and consistent performance in high-bandwidth applications.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches, patch panels and transceivers in data centers
• Building backbone and campus backbone runs requiring OM4 multimode
• High-performance computing links and short-reach 10 Gbit/s connections

How to use

Route the jumper between the appropriate LC and SC ports, ensuring connectors are clean before insertion to minimize loss. Insert the LC connector into the LC receptacle and the SC connector into the SC adapter or device port until they click or seat firmly. Avoid tight bends and secure the cable along the rack or tray to prevent strain on the connectors. For patches in active racks, label both ends for easy identification.

Recommendations

Inspect and clean fiber endfaces with appropriate cleaning tools before each connection, maintain bend radius above manufacturer minimums, and store or route the cable away from high-traffic areas to reduce mechanical stress. Use OM4 jumpers where higher modal bandwidth and extended 10 Gbit/s reach are required.
