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

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/ST 50/125µm OM4 7.5m is a multimode duplex fiber patch cable designed for reliable high-speed data transmission in structured cabling and networking environments. With a 50 µm core diameter and OM4 grade fiber, this 7.5 metre cable supports higher bandwidth and improved modal performance compared to standard multimode fibers. The cable provides full duplex capability via two separate fiber strands and is terminated with two LC connectors on one end and two ST connectors on the other, enabling flexible interconnection between devices and patch panels that use LC and ST interfaces.

Advantages

The OM4 fiber grade delivers enhanced bandwidth and lower attenuation for extended reach in data centre and enterprise networks. The 50/125 µm multimode construction allows compatibility with common multimode transceivers and equipment while maintaining stable signal transmission. Duplex configuration with LC and ST terminations offers compatibility with varied hardware, simplifying upgrades and cross-connection tasks. The 7.5 m length provides a balance between reach and manageable cable routing in racks and conduits.

Suitable for

• Interconnecting switches, routers and transceivers in data centres and server rooms
• Patch panel to equipment connections where LC and ST interfaces are present
• High-bandwidth multimode networks requiring OM4 performance
• Structured cabling runs within racks, cabinets and telecommunications enclosures

How to use

Install the cable by aligning and inserting the LC connectors into the LC ports and the ST connectors into the ST ports on the corresponding network devices or patch panels. Ensure connectors are clean before mating to avoid signal loss; use a lint-free wipe or approved fiber cleaning tool as needed. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and stress; maintain the manufacturer's recommended minimum bend radius for multimode fiber. Secure the cable with appropriate cable management accessories to prevent movement and strain during normal operation.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this OM4 duplex cable with compatible multimode transceivers and maintain clean connector endfaces. Avoid kinking or sharp bends and store spare cables in protective reels. For links approaching the upper reach of OM4 performance, verify link loss and transceiver compatibility during commissioning.
