MicroConnect OM4 LC-SC 12m Fiber Optic Cable, Violet

The MICROCONNECT LC/UPC to SC/UPC OM4 multimode fibre optic patch cable connects network equipment through compatible LC and SC fibre ports. Its OM4 multimode specification is intended for fibre links in high-speed Ethernet networks. The supplied product information lists applications including 10G, 40G, and 100G networks. The cable can be used between compatible network devices or within a structured cabling installation. It provides a fibre connection where the connected equipment and link are designed for multimode fibre.

The optical medium is glass fibre, and the outer jacket is low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH). This jacket material is a relevant consideration when selecting cable for a structured cabling installation. The ends use LC/UPC and SC/UPC connectors, so the connector type and polish should match the interfaces at both ends of the link. Check that the intended equipment supports the cable’s multimode OM4 specification before use. The stated Ethernet application rates describe the kinds of links for which the cable is intended, rather than a separate data-rate rating in the product specifications.

• 12 m length: provides a longer patch connection between compatible network points.
• Male connectors at both ends: suits ports requiring male LC and SC connectors.
• 2 mm outer diameter: specifies the cable’s overall thickness.
• Violet cable colour: helps identify the cable during installation.
• Glass-fibre conductor: identifies the cable’s optical transmission medium.
