Kuitupatchkaapeli Extralink LC/UPC - LC/UPC OM4 Duplex 3mm 5m

Duplex fiber optic patchcord Extralink LC/UPC to LC/UPC OM4 duplex 3mm 5m is a multimode patch cable designed for short- and medium-range high-speed links in data centers, telecom racks and network equipment. The cable features LC/UPC connectors on both ends and an OM4 multimode fiber core, enclosed in a 3 mm outer jacket and supplied in a 5 m length. It provides a low-loss, reliable connection between transceivers, switches and patch panels for applications that require consistent multimode performance.

Advantages

The Extralink OM4 duplex patchcord delivers improved bandwidth and reduced attenuation compared with lower-grade multimode fibers, enabling stable transmission for 10 Gbps and higher multimode applications at short to medium distances. LC/UPC connectors ensure precise alignment and low back-reflection for compatible equipment. The 3 mm jacket offers mechanical protection and easy handling in dense patching environments, while the 5 m length balances reach and cable management in racks and enclosures.

Suitable for

• Interconnection between transceivers and switches in data centers
• Patching between network equipment and patch panels in telecom racks
• High-speed multimode links for server-to-switch connections
• Short- to medium-distance optical runs inside communications rooms and cabinets

Key specifications

• Connector type: LC/UPC to LC/UPC duplex
• Fiber type: OM4 multimode
• Jacket diameter: 3 mm
• Length: 5 m
• Configuration: Duplex (two fibers)
• Typical applications: Data center patching, telecom racks, network equipment interconnects

How to use

Install the patchcord by inserting the LC/UPC connectors into the corresponding LC ports on transceivers, switches or patch panels until they click into place. Observe proper bend radius and avoid tight bends or kinks in the 3 mm jacket to maintain optical performance. For duplex links, ensure correct polarity by matching the transmit and receive channels on both ends. When disconnecting, press the connector latch and pull straight out to avoid damaging the ferrule or connector housing.

Recommendations

Store unused cable neatly on reels or in cable management trays and keep connector end caps in place until installation to prevent contamination. Clean LC/UPC connectors with appropriate fiber-optic cleaning tools before mating. Use this OM4 duplex patchcord where multimode performance and low-loss LC/UPC connections are required; avoid using it for single-mode applications.
