ACT 1 meter multimode 50/125 OM4 polarity twist glasvezelkabel met LC-stekkers

The ACT 1m Multimode 50/125 OM4 Polarity Twist fiber cable with LC connectors is a compact patch cable engineered for high-bandwidth short-range links. With a 50 µm core and OM4 graded-index multimode fiber, the cable supports elevated modal bandwidth for data center interconnects, server-to-switch connections and high-density optical patch panels. The polarity twist in the lead reduces the need for additional adapters or manual reconfiguration when pairing transmit and receive channels, helping maintain reliable signal paths in complex fiber installations.

Advantages

This multimode fiber cable offers improved modal bandwidth and lower attenuation across short to medium distances, suitable for 10GbE and higher-speed applications within enterprise networks. The LC connectors provide a compact duplex footprint for high-density racks and panels. The polarity twist design simplifies correct channel orientation, reducing installation time and potential for mispatching. The 1 meter length is practical for patching within racks and connecting adjacent equipment while keeping excess cable neat.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Data center patching between switches, servers and transceivers
• High-density optical patch panels and blade enclosures
• Short-reach 10GbE, 25GbE and 40GbE multimode links
• Fiber channel and SAN interconnects within racks

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode graded-index OM4
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector type: Duplex LC on both ends
• Length: 1 meter
• Polarity: Twist design for correct TX/RX orientation
• Typical use: Short-reach, high-bandwidth links

How to use

Before installation, verify connector cleanliness and inspect ends for contamination. Route the cable through the rack or patch panel without sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for multimode fiber. Insert LC connectors into corresponding transceiver or panel ports until they latch; ensure duplex orientation matches device TX/RX pairs. If polarity issues are encountered, the twist design permits straightforward correction without additional re-termination. Label both ends to reflect link endpoints for future maintenance.

Recommendations

Use appropriate dust caps when ports are not in use, avoid exceeding the specified bend radius, and perform optical loss testing after installation to confirm link performance. For optimal results in high-density environments, combine this OM4 multimode cable with compatible transceivers specified for multimode operation.
