It supports: 10Gbps Ethernet up to 550 meters 40Gbps and 100Gbps Ethernet up to 150 meters using parallel optics High-speed SAN and LAN interconnects in structured cabling environments With its enhanced modal bandwidth (4700 MHz·km at 850nm), OM4 is perfect for environments where high throughput and signal integrity are vital. Compared to OM2 and OM3, OM4 significantly reduces modal dispersion and ensures cleaner transmission paths. About LC Connectors with UPC Polish The LC (Lucent Connector) is a small form-factor connector known for its high performance and ease of use. With a UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polish, the LC connectors on this cable offer: Excellent return loss (≥50 dB), minimizing signal reflections Consistent and repeatable performance across hundreds of mating cycles Compatibility with high-density fiber environments such as patch panels and SFP transceivers The UPC polish is preferred in applications where signal quality and precision alignment are critical, especially in multimode fiber networks. Applications This LC-LC OM4 Duplex UPC 1m Fiber Optic Patch Cable serves as a key component in diverse high-performance networking scenarios: 1. Data Centers Connecting servers to switches in top-of-rack (ToR) or end-of-row (EoR) architectures Linking core switches to aggregation switches Used in cross-connect and interconnect panels 2. Enterprise LAN Environments Intra-office connections between network cabinets Backbone connections between IDF (Intermediate Distribution Frame) and MDF (Main Distribution Frame) Ideal for campus or large building installations 3. Telecom Infrastructure Deployed in central office (CO) or base station (BTS) environments Facilitates fast communication between telecom hardware like routers and multiplexers 4. High-Speed Internet Access (FTTH/FTTO) Serves as a reliable short link between the Optical Network Terminal (ONT) and routers in fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) or fiber-to-the-office (FTTO) installations 5. Fiber Optic Testing Used to connect devices during testing, certification, and calibration processes using OTDR, power meters, and light sources Construction and Design Cable Jacket and Fiber Made with durable PVC material that complies with OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) standards Flame-retardant, suitable for use in vertical shafts and riser environments Aqua color helps in distinguishing OM4 cables from OM2 (orange), OM3 (aqua), and single-mode (yellow) Connectors Each LC connector is built with zirconia ceramic ferrules, ensuring precise fiber alignment Polished to UPC standards, reducing back-reflection and improving optical signal quality Size and Flexibility At 2.0mm diameter, the LC-LC OM4 Duplex UPC 1m Fiber Optic Patch Cable is thin enough for tight space routing but strong enough for repeated handling Minimum bend radius of 7.5mm ensures flexibility without signal degradation Performance Benefits Low Insertion Loss: Less than or equal to 0.3 dB ensures minimal signal loss High Return Loss: ≥50 dB reduces optical reflection and power penalties Enhanced Bandwidth: Supports high-speed protocols including 10G/40G/100G Ethernet Thermal Stability: Designed to operate reliably from -20°C to 70°C Mechanical Strength: Supports up to 70 N tensile force, resisting physical stress during installation Installation and Handling Guidelines To maximize the performance and lifespan of the LC-LC OM4 Duplex UPC 1m Fiber Optic Patch Cable 1m patch cable: Do Not Exceed Bend Radius: Always maintain at least 7.5mm bend radius. Sharp bends can cause microbending losses. Avoid Over-Tension: During routing or pulling, avoid applying force beyond 70N. Keep Connectors Clean: Use fiber cleaning tools before each use. Even tiny dust particles can degrade performance. Label and Organize: Use cable labels and route cables in trays to prevent tangling and confusion. Test After Installation: Use an OTDR or power meter to verify performance and confirm clean terminations. Compliance and Quality Assurance Every LC-LC OM4 Duplex UPC 1m Fiber Optic Patch Cable undergoes strict quality control checks before shipment, including: 100% optical testing for insertion loss and return loss Visual inspection under magnification for end-face polish quality Random sampling for tensile and temperature stress testing Compliant with major standards: RoHS: Free from harmful substances like lead or mercury CE & ISO Certified: Manufactured in certified facilities TIA/EIA-568-B.3: Conforms to U.S. cabling standards Environmental Considerations The materials used in the construction of the cable are environmentally friendly and recyclable where applicable. The PVC jacket is chosen not only for durability and flame resistance but also for its ability to be easily disposed of according to recycling protocols in most industrialized countries.
