Fibre optic cable Synergy 21 50m OM4 LC - LC

The Synergy 21 50m OM4 LC - LC fibre optic cable is a multimode link with a 50 µm core diameter designed for high-density networking environments. This 50 metre duplex cable uses LC connectors on both ends to provide a compact, reliable connection suited to high-speed data communication. The OM4 specification supports elevated bandwidth over short to medium distances and is commonly used in data centres and enterprise installations where predictable optical performance and low attenuation are required.

Advantages

This OM4 fibre cable delivers consistent performance with low insertion loss and reduced modal dispersion compared with lower-grade multimode fibres. The use of LC connectors ensures a small form factor compatible with modern patch panels and transceivers. As a full-duplex assembly, it supports simultaneous bidirectional data transfer and simplifies cabling architecture in high-throughput environments. The 50 metre length provides a balance between reach and manageability for rack-to-rack or room-to-room connections.

Suitable for

• Data centre rack-to-rack connections
• Server to switch uplinks in enterprise networks
• Short-reach high-speed links using 10G/40G/100G transceivers (subject to transceiver and link budget)
• Patch panels and structured cabling within equipment rooms

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Multimode OM4
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Length: 50 metres
• Connector type: LC to LC duplex
• Mode: Full duplex
• Typical use: Short to medium distance, high-bandwidth links
• Cable jacket: Flexible jacket suitable for indoor use (patching and horizontal cabling)

How to use

Install the Synergy 21 OM4 LC-LC cable by aligning and inserting each LC connector into the corresponding LC port on transceivers, switches or patch panels until the latch clicks. Ensure connectors and ports are clean before mating to minimise insertion loss; use appropriate fibre cleaning tools and inspect ferrules if possible. Route the cable with gentle bends only, observing the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode fibre to avoid increased attenuation. Secure the cable in cable management trays or patch panels to prevent strain on connectors and to maintain organised infrastructure.

Recommendations

For reliable optical performance, keep LC connector endfaces free of dust and contamination, use dust caps when not connected, and follow transceiver vendor specifications for supported link distances at your chosen data rate. Verify link budget and modal bandwidth compatibility between OM4 multimode fibre and the selected transceivers, especially for 40G and 100G applications that may require parallel optics or breakout modules.
