ACT 3 meter Multimode 50/125 OM4 Polarity Twist glasvezelkabel met LC-stekkers

The ACT 3m OM4 Multimode Fiber Cable with LC connectors is a 50/125 µm fiber designed for short-range high-speed data links. Its OM4 multimode core supports increased modal bandwidth and reduced attenuation compared with lower-grade multimode fibers, making it suitable for demanding network environments such as data centers and enterprise backbone links. The 3 meter length and polarity twist wiring provide installation flexibility while maintaining proper signal alignment between transceivers.

Advantages

This multimode fiber cable provides low insertion loss and consistent performance across multi-gigabit and 40/100 Gbps links at short to medium distances. The LC connectors offer a compact footprint compatible with high-density patch panels and optical transceivers. OM4-grade fiber improves bandwidth-distance characteristics for VCSEL-based systems and helps maintain reliable links under typical data center conditions.

Suitable for

• Data center patching and intra-rack connections
• Short-range multimode links up to hundred-gigabit applications where OM4 is specified
• High-density optical patch panels and appliance ports using LC interfaces

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode, 50/125 µm (OM4)
• Length: 3 meters
• Connector type: LC to LC simplex/duplex style with polarity twist
• Attenuation: low-loss multimode performance (OM4 standard)
• Jacket: flexible outer sheath suitable for typical indoor/closed-environment routing

How to use

Route the cable along patch panels or cable trays, avoiding tight bends and sharp edges that could stress the fiber. Insert LC connectors into the corresponding LC ports on transceivers or patch panel modules, ensuring correct polarity by observing the twist orientation. Secure excess cable length with gentle loops and appropriate cable management to prevent microbends. Test the link with appropriate optical test equipment after installation to verify insertion loss and channel continuity.

Recommendations

Maintain minimum bend radius as specified for multimode fiber, keep connectors clean and protected when not in use, and use dust caps during handling. For critical links, perform end-to-end loss testing and inspection with a visual fault locator or fiber microscope before commissioning.
