Product Overview
The LC UPC to LC UPC Duplex OM4 Fiber Patch Cable is a reliable interconnect and cross-connect solution for optical transceivers, patch panels, distribution frames and equipment ports. It is commonly used between SFP+, QSFP+, QSFP28 and multimode fiber infrastructure where fast, low-loss and space-saving fiber connections are required.
Compared with standard multimode jumpers, the bend-insensitive fiber structure helps reduce additional attenuation caused by tight routing, cable trays, patch panel exits and cabinet cable managers. This makes the cable especially useful in dense data center racks and telecom equipment rooms where routing space is limited.
Key Features
OM4 50/125µm Multimode Fiber
Laser-optimized OM4 fiber supports high-bandwidth short-reach transmission for 10G, 40G and 100G Ethernet applications when matched with compatible multimode transceivers.
Precision LC UPC Connectors
Compact LC duplex connectors are ideal for high-density patching. UPC polishing and precision zirconia ferrules help maintain consistent optical contact and low insertion loss.
Bend-Insensitive Design
The bend-insensitive fiber core allows easier cable routing in patch panels, cabinets and cable management areas while helping reduce bend-related optical loss.
2.0mm OFNR Jacket
The 2.0mm duplex cable structure balances flexibility and protection, while the riser-rated OFNR jacket is suitable for indoor vertical and equipment-room installations.
Aqua Jacket for Easy Identification
The aqua OM4 jacket allows installers and network engineers to quickly distinguish OM4 multimode links from OS2, OM3 and other fiber categories during deployment and maintenance.
Factory-Tested Cable Assembly
Each cable can be supplied with factory optical testing to support stable link deployment, easier acceptance and better quality control for project installation.
Typical Applications
- 10G SR, 40G BiDi SR and 100G short-reach multimode connections
- Data center rack-to-rack and switch-to-patch-panel links
- Enterprise LAN backbone and equipment room cabling
- High-density fiber patch panels and optical distribution frames
- QSFP+, SFP+, QSFP28 and multimode transceiver interconnection
- Server rooms, telecom rooms and structured cabling systems
Designed for High-Speed Short-Reach Links
OM4 multimode fiber is commonly selected for high-speed short-distance optical connections where cost-effective multimode transceivers are used. In practical cabling design, the final transmission distance depends on the optical module, link budget, connector quality, patching points and installation condition. Glory Optical can supply standard and customized cable lengths to match cabinet, rack and cross-connect layout requirements.

Installation Notes
For best performance, avoid excessive pulling force, sharp bends and cable twisting during installation. Keep connector end faces clean before mating with adapters or transceiver ports. In high-density patching areas, route the cable through proper cable managers to prevent boot stress, fiber pinching and unnecessary bend loss.

FAQ
Q: What is this OM4 LC duplex patch cable used for?
A: It is used for short-reach multimode optical links, such as connecting switches, servers, transceivers, patch panels and optical distribution frames in data centers and enterprise networks.
Q: Can this cable be used for 10G, 40G and 100G networks?
A: Yes. OM4 multimode fiber is commonly used for high-speed short-distance links when paired with compatible multimode optical modules. The actual supported distance depends on the transceiver type and total link loss.
Q: What is the difference between OM3 and OM4?
A: OM4 provides higher bandwidth than OM3 and is generally preferred for more demanding 40G and 100G short-reach applications. Both are multimode fibers, but OM4 offers better performance margin for high-speed links.
Q: Why is the cable jacket aqua?
A: Aqua is commonly used to identify OM3 and OM4 multimode fiber cables, helping installers quickly distinguish multimode links from single-mode or other cable categories.
Q: Can Glory Optical supply customized lengths?
A: Yes. Standard and customized cable lengths are available according to rack layout, patch panel position, project BOM and installation requirements.
