InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/ST 50/125µm OM4 15m

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/ST 50/125µm OM4 15m is a multimode duplex fiber patch cable designed for high-bandwidth networking and data centre links. It pairs an LC connector on one end with an ST connector on the other, providing full-duplex transmission over 50/125 µm OM4 fiber. With a 15 m length and OM4 glass specification, the cable supports increased modal bandwidth and extended reach for multimode applications, suitable for connecting switches, transceivers and active equipment in local area networks.

Advantages

This duplex fiber cable uses OM4 multimode fiber with a 50 µm core to deliver improved bandwidth and lower attenuation compared with lower-grade multimode fibers. The LC and ST connector combination offers flexibility when interfacing equipment with different connector types. The 15 m length covers typical rack-to-rack or equipment-to-equipment runs without additional splices, and the duplex construction supports simultaneous transmit and receive channels for full-duplex operation.

Suitable for

• Data centre interconnects between switches, patch panels and transceivers
• Multimode fiber links in enterprise LAN environments
• Short- to medium-distance backbone runs and equipment connections
• Laboratory or test setups requiring mixed LC-to-ST connections

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM4 multimode
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector A: LC duplex
• Connector B: ST
• Mode: Duplex (two fibers for TX/RX)
• Length: 15 m
• Typical applications: LAN, data centre, test environments

How to use

Connect the LC end to equipment or a transceiver with an LC input and insert the ST connector into the corresponding ST receptacle. Ensure correct polarity for transmit and receive channels when making duplex connections. Avoid tight bends and kinks in the cable; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius to prevent increased attenuation. Secure the cable with appropriate routing and strain relief to prevent connector stress during operation.

Recommendations

Inspect connector endfaces for dust or contamination before insertion and clean with approved fiber cleaning tools if necessary. Store the cable coiled loosely and avoid sharp bends; verify link performance after installation with appropriate testing equipment to confirm loss and continuity meet system requirements.
