SpeedyCables OM4 LC-to-LC 5M Fiber Patch Cables 6-Pack

SpeedyCables 6-pack OM4 LC-to-LC 5M patch cables are 50/125μm multimode duplex leads built for 10G–100G networks, offering low-loss LC connectors and LSZH jackets for safer indoor installations.

These magenta OM4 fiber patch cords deliver high bandwidth and controlled attenuation designed for modern data-center, telecom, and enterprise backbones. Each 5-meter duplex cable uses 50/125μm multimode fiber with precise zirconia ferrules, supporting SFP+, QSFP+ and other common transceivers. The LSZH jacket reduces toxic smoke in case of fire and the 7.5mm bend radius makes routing in dense cabinets tidy and reliable.

How fast and far will these OM4 LC-LC cables carry data?

OM4 multimode fibers are tuned for high-bandwidth short-reach applications. They support 10Gb up to roughly 400 meters, 40Gb to about 350 meters, and 100Gb to near 125 meters under typical multimode conditions, making them ideal for most in-building backbone links.

• Bandwidth: 4700 MHz·km @ 850nm for improved modal performance.
• 10Gb Ethernet: up to ~400 m depending on transceivers and channel components.
• 40Gb Ethernet: approximately up to 350 m in standard configurations.
• 100Gb Ethernet: suitable for short-reach links up to ~125 m with appropriate optics.

What makes the connectors and cable construction reliable?

The SpeedyCables LC-to-LC connectors use zirconia ceramic ferrules for stable alignment and low insertion loss, while the duplex construction keeps transmit/receive pairs organized. The specified insertion loss and return loss figures ensure predictable performance in multi-segment installs.

• Connector type: LC duplex for high-density panels and transceivers.
• Insertion loss: typically ≤0.3 dB, minimizing signal drop.
• Return loss: ≥30 dB to preserve signal integrity and minimize reflections.
• Bend radius: 7.5 mm rating for routing around panels without damaging fibers.

Is the cable safe and suitable for indoor data centers?

The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) outer jacket reduces hazardous gases and dense smoke if exposed to flame, a common requirement for indoor and enclosed spaces. The magenta OM4 color helps technicians quickly identify multimode links during maintenance and audits.

• Jacket: LSZH for lower toxicity and smoke during combustion.
• Color: magenta OM4 identification for fast visual sorting and documentation.
• Durability: robust jacket and strain relief for rack-side handling and repeated moves.
• Compatibility: works with SFP+, QSFP+, BIDI SR and other MMF transceivers.

How easy is installation and everyday use?

The standardized LC duplex ends and 5-meter length make these cables plug-and-play in patch panels, switch ports, and server NICs without custom preparation. Their flexibility and modest length are tuned for rack-to-rack or cabinet-to-cabinet connections where tidiness and predictable loss budgets matter.

• Length: 5 meters (16 ft) ideal for common rack layouts and cable channels.
• Pack count: six identical cables to outfit multiple ports or spare slots.
• Handling: compact LC form factor saves panel space and simplifies routing.
• Maintenance: consistent color and labeling reduce troubleshooting time.

Who is this for? Network engineers, data-center technicians, telecom installers, and IT managers who need short- to medium-reach high-bandwidth multimode patching will find this SpeedyCables 6-pack useful. It suits new deployments and replacement cycles where OM4 performance, LSZH safety, and LC duplex density are required. Choose this pack when you need multiple uniform cables that meet modern multimode link budgets and installation standards without adding fire-hazard risk.
