Network Cable Helos LWL Patch Cable Uniboot LC/LC Duplex 50/125µm OM4 5.0m Blue

The Helos LWL Patch Cable Uniboot LC/LC Duplex 50/125µm OM4 5.0m Blue is an optical fiber patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in structured cabling systems. It uses a 50/125µm multimode fiber with OM4 performance characteristics and a duplex LC/LC uniboot connector format. The cable’s 5.0 m length and blue jacket provide straightforward identification and routing in racks, panels, and patch bays while maintaining multimode transmission suitable for data center and enterprise environments.

Advantages

This uniboot LC/LC duplex cable combines a compact connector design with multimode OM4 fiber to support higher bandwidth and extended reach compared with lower-grade multimode fibers. The uniboot construction reduces connector bulk and saves space in high-density patching areas. The 50/125µm core/cladding dimension and OM4 specification enable improved modal bandwidth and consistent performance for short- to medium-range multimode links. The blue jacket assists with color-coded installation and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Data center horizontal and rack patching
• Server-to-switch connections within cabinets
• High-density patch panels and fiber enclosures
• Multimode backbone links and short-reach LAN connections

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode, 50/125 µm
• OM rating: OM4 (multimode, enhanced)
• Connector type: LC duplex uniboot on both ends (LC/LC)
• Length: 5.0 meters
• Jacket color: Blue
• Configuration: Duplex

How to use

Route the cable between patch panels, transceivers, or equipment ports ensuring proper bend radius is maintained to avoid signal loss. Align and insert the LC connectors into the corresponding ports until they latch securely. Use the uniboot latch and small profile to organize multiple duplex runs in high-density environments. When disconnecting, depress the connector latch before pulling to avoid damaging the connector or transceiver.

Recommendations

Store and install the cable in accordance with standard fiber handling practices: avoid tight bends, excessive pulling force, and contamination of connector endfaces. Clean connector endfaces prior to mating and verify compatibility with multimode OM4 transceivers to achieve expected performance.
