ACT RL9727 InfiniBand/glasvezelkabel 27 m LC I-V(ZN) H violet

The ACT RL9727 27 m LC I-V(ZN) H OM4 Violet is a 27-metre OM4 multimode fibre optic cable with LC connectors on both ends in a full duplex configuration. Designed for high-density and high-speed network environments, this violet-coloured cable supports increased bandwidth and reduced modal dispersion compared with lower-grade multimode fibres. Its construction suits structured cabling runs between equipment racks, network switches, servers and optical transceivers where reliable short- to medium-reach multimode links are required.

Advantages

This OM4 fibre cable provides enhanced bandwidth for 10 Gbps and higher multimode applications and maintains low insertion loss through precision LC connectors. The full duplex twin LC configuration simplifies polarity management for duplex links. The violet jacket improves visual identification in cable bundles and data centres. The cable length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack and floor-to-floor interconnects without the need for splicing or patching multiple shorter assemblies.

Suitable for

• Data centre rack-to-rack optical links
• Server to switch connections supporting 10GbE, 40GbE (using breakout or parallel optics) and short-reach fibre applications
• Network equipment patching and optical transceiver connections
• High-density structured cabling in enterprise and campus networks

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM4 multimode
• Connector type: LC to LC, duplex
• Length: 27 metres
• Jacket colour: violet
• Application: short- to medium-reach multimode links for high-speed data

How to use

Select the LC duplex ends matching the LC ports on your transceivers or patch panels, ensuring correct orientation for transmit and receive pairs. Route the cable along existing cable trays or underfloor pathways, avoiding sharp bends and traction; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for multimode fibre. Plug the LC connectors into clean, compatible ports and verify link status using your network equipment. For installations in cabinets, secure the cable to prevent strain on the connectors and leave a service loop for future adjustments.

Recommendations

Inspect and, if necessary, clean LC connector endfaces before mating to minimise insertion loss. Avoid exceeding the bend radius and protect the cable from crushing or heavy mechanical stress. For best performance in 10GbE and higher multimode applications, use appropriate multimode transceivers and verify optical loss budget during deployment.
