AddOn 7m Multi-Mode Fiber (LOMM) Duplex LC/LC Patch Cable
A 7-metre OM4 duplex LC/LC patch cable rated for 10 Gb/s up to 300 m at 850 nm with a low-smoke zero-halogen jacket
- Supports 10 Gbps links up to 300 metres using 850 nm VCSEL source
- Laser-optimised OM4 multimode fibre delivers 2000 MHz·km EMB at 850 nm
- Backward compatible with existing 50/125 µm equipment for easy upgrades
- Low-smoke zero-halogen jacket limits toxic and corrosive gases in poorly ventilated areas
- Plenum-rated fire protection allows in-wall and air-plenum routing without conduit
7m OM4 duplex patch cable
This seven-metre laser-optimised multimode fibre cable uses LC/LC connectors for patch-panel, switch and router links. The aqua jacket identifies OM4-rated 50/125 µm fibre built for 10 gigabit Ethernet runs. It suits installers who need a single pre-terminated link between rack equipment. Buyers requiring longer back-bone distances or single-mode fibre will need a different cable type.
Low-smoke zero-halogen jacket
The LSZH sheath limits toxic and corrosive gas emission in poorly ventilated plenums and wall cavities. This construction removes the requirement for separate conduit in many fire-code environments. The cable carries 850 nm VCSEL light for 10 GbE transmission up to 300 metres. Installers working in standard office trunking without plenum ratings may choose a less specialised jacket.
Upgrades legacy 50/125 links
The OM4 core provides 2000 MHz·km EMB at 850 nm, giving headroom over older OM1 or OM2 plant when moving to 10 GbE. It replaces earlier multimode patch cords that cannot support laser-based transceivers at full distance. The improvement is worthwhile when existing backbone fibre is OM3 or OM4 and 10 GbE ports are being deployed. Networks still running 1 GbE over OM1 will not see a speed gain from this cable alone.

Questions about this item
How do I install the LC duplex connectors without damaging the fiber ends?
Inspect and clean each LC ferrule before mating, then push the duplex clip straight into the patch panel or transceiver until it clicks; avoid twisting the cable or exceeding the minimum bend radius during routing.
What maintenance will the OM4 aqua jacket require over its lifetime?
Periodically inspect the LC end faces with a fiber scope and clean with a lint-free wipe and isopropyl alcohol; the low-smoke zero-halogen jacket needs no special treatment unless it shows cuts or abrasion.
At what distance does the 10 GbE signal hit its limit on this cable?
The OM4 fiber supports 10 gigabit transfers up to 300 meters at 850 nm, so a 7 m patch cord is well within that reach.
