ACT 17 metrov multimode 50/125 OM4 Polarity Twist optický kábel s LC konektormi

The ACT 17 meter Multimode 50/125 OM4 fiber cable with LC connectors is designed for high-density network environments that require reliable short-range data transmission. The cable uses a 50 µm core multimode OM4 fibre optimized for high bandwidth and reduced modal dispersion, combined with LC terminations to provide compact, reliable connections for switches, transceivers and patch panels. A polarity twist design simplifies routing and connection management in racks and cabinets while maintaining signal integrity across the 17 m length.

Advantages

This multimode OM4 cable delivers consistent performance for 10 Gbit/s and higher short-distance links due to its 50/125 µm geometry and optimized OM4 grading. LC connectors offer a small form factor and reliable mating for dense patching scenarios. The 17 m length covers common rack-to-rack and equipment-to-equipment runs without introducing unnecessary slack. The polarity twist design reduces the need for additional adapters or re-terminations during installation and helps maintain correct channel orientation in parallel optics setups.

Suitable for

• Data centre rack-to-rack connections
• Connections between switches and transceivers (SFP+/QSFP modules)
• Patch panel to active equipment links in enterprise networks
• Short-reach optical links in server rooms and telecom rooms

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Multimode OM4
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC
• Cable length: 17 m
• Polarity: Twist polarity design for simplified routing
• Application: Short-range, high-bandwidth optical links

How to use

Identify the required ports on network devices or patch panels and route the cable through appropriate cable management channels to avoid tight bends below the fibre minimum bend radius. Insert LC connectors into the corresponding LC ports until they click into place, ensuring correct alignment of transmit and receive pairs. If using parallel optics modules, verify polarity before powering equipment. Avoid pulling on the fibre jacket; use the connector body or strain-relief points when positioning the cable.

Recommendations

Maintain bend radii above the manufacturer’s minimum, keep connectors dust-free by using protective caps until installation, and perform end-face inspection and cleaning before mating to ensure optimal signal quality. Store unused cable runs coiled loosely and avoid tight kinks; for critical links, test insertion loss and return loss after installation to confirm link performance.
