Network Cable Helos LWL Patch Cable Uniboot LC/LC Duplex 50/125µm OM4 0.50m Black

The Helos LWL Patch Cable Uniboot LC/LC Duplex 50/125µm OM4 0.50m in black is a fibre optic patch lead designed for short-distance, high-bandwidth connections in structured cabling. Its duplex LC/LC Uniboot design provides two fibres within a single compact boot, supporting bidirectional data transmission. The OM4 multimode fibre with 50/125µm core/cladding geometry is intended for applications that require increased modal bandwidth and reliable performance in dense networking environments.

Advantages

The uniboot LC/LC duplex configuration reduces cable congestion in patch panels and equipment racks by combining two fibres into a single connector footprint. OM4 multimode construction offers improved bandwidth and distance characteristics compared with lower multimode grades, making it suitable for high-speed links. The 0.50m length minimizes excess cabling in tight installations and helps maintain signal integrity by reducing unnecessary cable loops. The black jacket provides a neutral, professional appearance and helps differentiate cable runs where colour-coding is used.

Suitable for

• Short horizontal patching between switches, servers and transceivers
• High-density patch panels and fibre distribution units
• Data centre fibre links and intra-rack connections
• Multimode OM4 applications requiring increased bandwidth

Key specifications

• Connector type: LC/LC duplex Uniboot
• Fibre type: Multimode OM4
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Length: 0.50 m
• Colour: Black

How to use

Route the patch cable between the LC ports on the devices to be connected, ensuring that transmit and receive pairs match the transceiver polarity. Gently insert the LC connectors until they click into place and secure the cable in the patch panel or cable management system to avoid strain. For duplex links, verify correct orientation of both fibres for bidirectional communication. Handle the fibre cable by the connector boots and avoid tight bends below the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius.

Recommendations

Use the 0.50m Helos OM4 uniboot patch cable for intra-rack or adjacent-rack connections where a short, high-bandwidth multimode link is required. Keep connector endfaces clean and protect unused connectors with dust caps. Avoid excessive bending, pulling or crushing to preserve optical performance.
