LEONI Kerpen LEONI LWL-Kbl 50µm OM4 Suhner LC/LC 1m - Kabel - 1 m

High-speed fiber optic links demand absolute signal integrity, especially in dense data center environments where space is tight and performance is non-negotiable. The LEONI Kerpen 21.08.2151 OM4 patch cable delivers exactly that: a robust, low-loss connection between LC duplex ports, engineered for 10/40/100 Gigabit Ethernet over multimode fiber. Its 50/125 µm OM4 core supports 4700 MHz·km bandwidth at 850 nm, ensuring headroom for today's fastest transceivers and tomorrow's upgrades. The 1-meter length is ideal for patching between adjacent equipment, reducing slack and improving airflow. The LSZH aqua jacket meets strict fire safety codes, making it suitable for use in plenum and riser spaces where halogen-free materials are required. Whether you're commissioning a new switch fabric or replacing aging jumpers, this cable provides the reliability and performance your network demands.

Who is it for

Network engineers, data center technicians, and IT professionals who need a dependable, standards-compliant multimode fiber patch cord for high-density patching, SAN connections, or backbone links. It's particularly suited for environments that require LSZH jacketing due to fire safety regulations, such as hospitals, schools, and commercial buildings. The OM4 rating ensures compatibility with 40G and 100G SR4 optics, making it a future-proof choice for evolving infrastructures.

Main features

Tips

To maintain optimal performance, avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius during installation and use proper cable management to prevent stress on connectors. For 40G/100G applications, ensure your transceivers are OM4-compatible and that the total link length does not exceed the specified reach for your equipment. When cleaning connectors, use a dry optical cleaning tool to avoid contamination that can increase insertion loss.
