Network Cable Helos LWL Patch Cable Uniboot LC/LC Duplex 50/125µm OM4 1.0m Black

The Helos LWL Patch Cable Uniboot LC/LC Duplex 50/125µm OM4 1.0m Black is an optical fiber patch cable engineered for high-speed data transmission in structured network environments. The cable uses multimode OM4 fiber with a 50/125µm core/cladding dimension and features LC/LC duplex terminations in a uniboot format. At 1.0 meter length and finished in black, the cable is intended for short-run fiber connections where density and cable management are important.

Advantages

The uniboot LC/LC duplex design reduces the connector footprint and simplifies routing in dense patch panels, allowing two strands to share a single boot for neater cable management. OM4 multimode fiber supports higher bandwidth over short distances compared with earlier multimode grades, improving performance for 10GbE and other high-speed applications within its supported range. LC connectors provide compact, reliable terminations that are widely used in modern networking equipment.

Suitable for

• Data center patching and intra-rack fiber connections
• Telecommunications closets and network distribution panels
• High-density fiber patch panels and MPO/LC breakout assemblies
• Short-reach multimode applications such as 10GbE and storage area network links (within OM4 range)

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM4
• Core/cladding: 50/125 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC duplex, uniboot
• Length: 1.0 m
• Color: Black

How to use

Install the Helos uniboot LC/LC patch cable by aligning the LC connectors with the corresponding LC ports on the networking devices or patch panel and gently inserting until the connector latches engage. Observe standard fiber handling practices: avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius, keep connector endfaces clean, and protect connectors from dust when not in use. For duplex connections ensure correct polarity by matching transmit and receive ports on each end.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a clean environment, use fiber-friendly cleaning tools for connector endfaces before installation, and route the uniboot cable to minimize sharp bends and mechanical strain. Verify polarity and test links with appropriate fiber test equipment after installation to confirm signal integrity.
