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

The ROLINE Fibre Optic Jumper Cable ROLINE OM4 LC/ST 50/125µm 1m is a 1 metre patch cable with OM4 multimode fiber and LC-to-ST connectors. Designed for high-speed data transmission, the purple-marked OM4 fiber has a 50 µm core and is optimized for laser sources to provide extended bandwidth and improved system performance for current 1 and 10 Gbit/s networks as well as future 40 and 100 Gbit/s applications.

Advantages

OM4 fiber offers a high laser bandwidth (4700 MHz·km) that exceeds IEEE requirements for many 10 Gbit/s links, enabling extended reach up to 550 metres at 10 Gbit/s and supporting shorter high-density links in data centres and high-performance computing environments. The LC and ST connector combination provides flexible connectivity for equipment with different port types, and the 1 m length is suitable for rack and patch-panel connections. At lower speeds such as 100 Mbit/s or 1 Gbit/s the OM4 cable performs similarly to OM2/OM3 while providing greater headroom for future upgrades.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbit/s Ethernet links up to 550 m
• 40 Gbit/s and 100 Gbit/s short-reach connections in data centres
• Connections between switches, patch panels and transceivers using LC and ST ports
• Campus backbone segments and building backbones requiring multimode fiber

How to use

Install the jumper by inserting the LC connector into the LC port of the transceiver or patch panel and the ST connector into the corresponding ST socket on the device or panel. Ensure connectors are clean and free of dust before mating to avoid signal loss. Route the cable with gentle bends, avoiding tight radii and mechanical stress. Use the 1 m length for short interconnections within racks or between closely spaced equipment.

Recommendations

For best performance, use OM4 jumpers with compatible OM4 patch panels and transceivers, keep connector endfaces clean with appropriate cleaning tools, and avoid exceeding the recommended bend radius. Use OM4 where future migration to 10/40/100 Gbit/s is expected to maximize investment protection.
