Multimode fibre patch cable 50/125 µm

This duplex multimode patch cable uses a 50/125 µm core and cladding to carry data between LC and SC equipment. The aqua jacket identifies the OM3/OM4 multimode rating at a glance. It is built for LAN backbones, data-centre cross-connects and campus links that require the LC-SC connector combination.

Sustained signal integrity over 16.4 ft

The 16.4 ft length keeps insertion loss low enough for continuous high-bandwidth traffic such as storage replication or video streaming. Multimode glass maintains modal bandwidth across the full run without the signal degradation that can appear in longer copper runs. Each end is factory polished and tested to meet the stated lifetime warranty.

Practical limits of the LC-SC multimode interface

The LC-SC pairing restricts the cable to ports that match those exact connectors; it cannot plug directly into ST, MTP or single-mode transceivers. Multimode 50/125 µm fibre supports the reach and bandwidth defined by the OM3/OM4 standards, but it will not achieve the distance or wavelength performance of single-mode cabling. Buyers who need single-mode reach or a different connector mix must choose a different cable assembly.

Questions about this item

Does the 16.4 ft aqua multimode cable generate any heat or noise during continuous use?

No, the passive fibre assembly carries light instead of electricity so it produces no heat and no audible noise.

Which ports must my equipment provide for the 2 x LC and 2 x SC connectors to plug in directly?

You need two LC female ports on one device and two SC female ports on the other; the cable ends are fixed male connectors.

Can the 50/125 µm core and cladding pair with legacy multimode gear that uses the same diameter?

Yes, any legacy multimode interface built for 50/125 µm fibre will accept this cable without adapters.
