ROLINE OM4 50/125µm LC/SC kuitu-patchkaapeli 0,5 m

The ROLINE Fibre Optic Jumper Cable ROLINE OM4 50/125µm LC/SC 0.5m is a 0.5 m duplex patch cable built with OM4 multimode fiber (50 µm core) and terminated with LC and SC connectors. Designed for high-speed networking, the purple OM4 fiber provides extended bandwidth and is suitable for 1, 10, 40 and 100 Gbit/s applications in data centers, campus backbones and enterprise networks.

Advantages

OM4 laser-optimized fiber offers a high modal bandwidth (4700 MHz·km) that exceeds IEEE requirements for 10 Gbit/s over 300 m and enables extended reaches up to 550 m at 10 Gbit/s. The short 0.5 m jumper length with LC and SC terminations supports full-duplex links and simplifies patching in racks and panels. The cable is compatible with Ethernet, Fibre Channel and OIF standards and provides improved performance at 10 Gbit/s and 40 Gbit/s compared with lower-grade multimode fibers.

Suitable for

• Short patching in racks and panels in data centers
• Connections within enterprise and campus backbone segments
• High-performance computing and server interconnects at 10/40/100 Gbit/s
• Fiber runs requiring LC-to-SC connector transitions

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM4 multimode, 50/125 µm
• Length: 0.5 m (duplex)
• Connectors: LC to SC (duplex)
• Modal bandwidth: 4700 MHz·km (manufacturer stated)
• Color: purple (OM4 identification)
• Supported standards: Ethernet, Fibre Channel, OIF

How to use

Install the jumper by inserting the LC connector into the LC port and the SC connector into the SC port, ensuring correct polarity for full-duplex links. Route the 0.5 m cable to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain; follow standard fiber handling practices such as keeping connectors clean and using dust caps when not connected. Verify link operation with appropriate testing equipment after installation.

Recommendations

For best results in 10 Gbit/s and higher environments, use this OM4 jumper for short patching inside racks or between adjacent panels. Maintain connector cleanliness and avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius to preserve the fiber's extended bandwidth performance.
