InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/SC 50/125µm OM4 7.5m

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/SC 50/125µm OM4 7.5m is a multimode duplex patch cable designed for high-density networks and data center environments. It combines an LC connector on one end with an SC connector on the other, and uses OM4-grade 50/125µm multimode fiber to deliver improved bandwidth and low insertion loss over medium distances. The 7.5 metre length provides flexible routing between switches, patch panels and transceivers while maintaining full-duplex transmission for simultaneous send and receive channels.

Advantages

This duplex fiber cable offers OM4 performance for higher modal bandwidth compared with lower OM grades, enabling greater throughput on multimode links. The LC-to-SC connector combination provides compatibility with a variety of network equipment and allows connection between devices with different port types without additional adapters. The 50/125µm core/cladding geometry is standard for multimode installations and ensures predictable optical characteristics, while the duplex construction supports full-duplex communication and easy channel identification.

Suitable for

• Data center interconnects between racks and switches
• Patch panel to transceiver connections
• High-speed multimode networking (10 Gbps and above over appropriate distances)
• Server-to-switch uplinks and short-reach backbone runs

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM4
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector A: LC duplex
• Connector B: SC duplex
• Length: 7.5 m
• Mode: Duplex, full-duplex capable
• Cable jacket: Outdoor/indoor options vary by SKU; flexible PVC jacket suitable for patching (confirm jacket material before installation)

How to use

Route the InLine LC/SC duplex cable between the LC-equipped device and the SC-equipped device, ensuring that connectors are clean and free of dust before insertion. Align the keyed connector housings with the device ports and push until the latch engages securely. For duplex operation, maintain correct transmit-to-receive orientation: match the transmit port of one device to the receive port of the other. Avoid sharp bends and secure the cable with appropriate cable management to prevent excess strain on connectors and fiber cores.

Recommendations

Inspect connector end faces with a fiber inspection tool and clean with approved fiber cleaning supplies if necessary. Maintain bend radii above manufacturer-specified minima to prevent attenuation increases; avoid repeated flexing at the connector junctions. Use proper labeling on both ends to simplify maintenance in patch panel environments and consider environmental conditions (temperature, moisture) when selecting installation route and securing methods.
