Network Cable Helos LWL Patch Cable Uniboot LC/LC Duplex 50/125µm OM4 2.0m Black

The Helos LWL Patch Cable Uniboot LC/LC Duplex 50/125µm OM4 2.0m Black is a multimode fiber patch cord engineered for short-range, high-bandwidth optical connections. Its LC/LC duplex connectors and 50/125µm OM4 fiber core support dense network environments and high-speed links with reduced modal dispersion. The uniboot design combines two fibers in a single compact boot to simplify cable routing and improve port density in patch panels and switches.

Advantages

This patch cable provides low insertion loss and consistent optical performance suitable for enterprise and data center applications. The OM4 fiber specification increases effective bandwidth for 10G/40G/100G multimode links at typical channel distances. The uniboot construction and compact LC connector bodies reduce cable crowding at the patch panel and enable easier management in racks. The cable jacket and connector polishing ensure mechanical reliability and stable signal transmission during routine handling and installation.

Suitable for

• Short-range multimode connections in data centers and server rooms
• High-speed links such as 10GbE, 40GbE and certain 100GbE multimode deployments
• Patch panels, fiber optic switches and transceivers using LC duplex interfaces
• Structured cabling where high port density and tidy cable management are required

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode 50/125 µm
• OM standard: OM4 for increased bandwidth and reach
• Connector type: LC to LC duplex (uniboot)
• Length: 2.0 meters
• Color: Black
• Design: Compact uniboot for reduced cable footprint

How to use

Inspect connectors and ensure connector end-faces are clean before installation. Route the 2.0 m uniboot cable between LC duplex ports on equipment or patch panels, aligning the keyed LC connectors and inserting them until they click. Manage excess length to avoid sharp bends; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for multimode fiber. When removing the cable, press the LC latch and withdraw gently to prevent stress on the connector and fiber.

Recommendations

Use a fiber inspection scope and approved cleaning tools to maintain end-face cleanliness. Avoid tight bends and excessive pulling force during installation. For high-density environments, label both ends of the uniboot cable to simplify maintenance and minimize downtime.
