SpeedyCables OM4 LC-to-LC Fiber Patch Cable 8m (Magenta LSZH) — Duplex 50/125µm, 40G/100G performance

SpeedyCables OM4 LC-to-LC 8m (26ft) multimode fiber patch cable delivers high-bandwidth, low-loss connections for 10G–100G networks with an LSZH magenta jacket for safe indoor installations.

This OM4 duplex fiber patch cord from SpeedyCables is built for modern data centers, telecom racks, and enterprise backbones that demand reliable high-speed links. Using 50/125 µm multimode fiber and LC connectors with zirconia ferrules, it balances long reach, low insertion loss, and safe materials. The magenta LSZH jacket makes identification simple while reducing toxic smoke if heated, and the cable supports common transceivers such as SFP+, QSFP+, and SR modules.

How fast and far will this OM4 LC-LC cable carry my data?

The OM4 specification is optimized for high-speed multimode applications: it supports 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE distances suitable for typical rack-to-rack and short-haul deployments. Performance is backed by a 4700 MHz·km bandwidth rating at 850 nm and industry-standard reach guidelines.

• 10Gb Ethernet: up to ~400 meters
• 40Gb Ethernet: up to ~350 meters
• 100Gb Ethernet (SR): up to ~125 meters
• Low insertion loss: ≤0.3 dB per connector; return loss: ≥30 dB

What makes the connectors and jacket reliable in dense installations?

The SpeedyCables LC-LC patch cord uses precision zirconia ceramic ferrules and polished connector endfaces to reduce signal loss and reflections. The LSZH outer jacket resists flame spread and emits minimal toxic fumes, which helps meet safety requirements in enclosed spaces.

• Duplex LC connectors for compact port density
• Zirconia ferrules for stable low-loss connections
• LSZH jacket: flame-resistant, low smoke, halogen-free
• 7.5 mm minimum bend radius for reliable routing in tight trays

Which systems and transceivers is this cable compatible with?

This OM4 duplex cable is designed for broad interoperability with multimode transceivers and equipment used in data centers and enterprise networks. It pairs with popular short-range optics and supports SAN, server, and telecom links where multimode fiber is deployed.

• Compatible with SFP+, QSFP+, and SR-type transceivers
• Suitable for SAN, switch-to-switch, and server uplinks
• Works in pre-terminated MPO/patching environments when used in duplex LC paths
• Available length options from 0.2 m up to 200 m for flexibility

How easy is installation and maintenance for this patch cable?

SpeedyCables engineered the cable for straightforward, repeatable installs in high-density racks and patch panels. The compact LC form factor and flexible jacket reduce strain during routing, while standardized loss figures simplify network testing.

• Plug-and-play LC-LC duplex connectors for quick swaps
• 7.5 mm bend radius helps prevent micro-bends in trays
• Standardized insertion/return loss simplifies certification
• Magenta OM4 coloring speeds identification in mixed-fiber bundles

Who is this for? IT managers, network engineers, and integrators who need dependable multimode fiber links inside data centers, telecom rooms, and high-density network closets will find this SpeedyCables OM4 LC-LC 8m patch cable well suited to their needs. It’s ideal when you need a safe, identifiable, and high-performance multimode connection for short- to medium-range 10G–100G deployments, with lengths available to match rack layouts or custom cabling plans.
