ROLINE OM4 50/125µm LC/SC kuitu-jumperkaapeli 1 m

ROLINE OM4 50/125µm Fibre Optic Jumper Cable LC/SC 1m is a duplex multimode patch cable with a 50 µm core optimized for laser sources and extended bandwidth. The 1 meter cable with LC and SC connectors is intended for short-distance links in data centers, server rooms and building backbones where OM4 performance is required. The cable’s purple jacket identifies it as OM4 and supports high-speed Ethernet, Fibre Channel and OIF applications.

Advantages

The OM4 fiber provides an increased modal bandwidth (laser bandwidth ~4700 MHz·km) that exceeds IEEE requirements for 10 Gbit/s over 300 m and allows extended reach at 10 Gbit/s up to about 550 m in suitable installations. OM4 offers higher performance at 10 Gbit/s and 40 Gbit/s compared with OM2/OM3 while remaining compatible with lower-rate links such as 100 Mbit/s and 1 Gbit/s. The duplex LC–SC termination ensures straightforward connectivity with a wide range of equipment.

Suitable for

• Short-distance patching in data centers and telecom rooms
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections within racks and cabinets
• Campus and building backbones requiring OM4-rated links

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM4 multimode, 50/125 µm
• Connectors: LC to SC (duplex)
• Length: 1 m
• Laser bandwidth: ≈4700 MHz·km (typical OM4 value)
• Color: purple (OM4 identification)

How to use

Install the jumper by inserting the LC and SC connectors into the appropriate ports, ensuring correct polarity for duplex links. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; observe the specified minimum bend radius for multimode fiber. Use the 1 m length for short patching runs between equipment in the same rack or adjacent racks.

Recommendations

Handle connectors with protective caps until installation, keep connector endfaces clean using appropriate fiber cleaning tools, and verify link performance after installation with suitable test equipment. Choose OM4 jumpers where higher modal bandwidth and extended 10 Gbit/s reach are required; for lower-rate or longer singlemode links, select the appropriate fiber type.
