The LC UPC to SC UPC Duplex OM4 Multimode Fiber Optic Patch Cable is engineered for reliable, high-speed optical connections in data centers, enterprise networks, server rooms and telecommunications facilities. It uses premium 50/125μm laser-optimized OM4 multimode glass fiber, offering higher modal bandwidth and improved transmission capability compared with OM3 fiber. When used with compatible optical transceivers and properly designed links, it is suitable for 10G, 40G and 100G Ethernet, Fibre Channel, storage area networks and other bandwidth-intensive applications.
This hybrid patch cable features an LC UPC connector at one end and an SC UPC connector at the other. The compact LC connector is ideal for high-density switches, servers and optical modules, while the SC connector provides compatibility with traditional fiber distribution panels, media converters and telecommunications equipment. This configuration allows devices with different optical interfaces to be connected directly without adding extra adapters, helping reduce connection points, installation complexity and potential signal loss.
The duplex construction contains two separate optical fibers for transmitting and receiving data. A duplex clip helps maintain connector orientation and fiber polarity, making installation and network maintenance more convenient. Precision zirconia ceramic ferrules provide accurate fiber alignment and help deliver stable, low-loss optical performance during repeated connection cycles.
A flexible 2.0mm PVC OFNR riser-rated jacket protects the optical fibers from everyday handling and mechanical stress. The OFNR jacket is intended for indoor riser pathways and helps limit flame propagation between floors. Bend-insensitive fiber with a stated minimum bend radius of 7.5mm also supports routing through crowded cabinets, equipment racks and cable-management systems while reducing the risk of bend-related attenuation.
This OM4 LC-to-SC patch cable is particularly suitable for network upgrades, equipment migrations and mixed-connector infrastructure. Common applications include connecting LC transceivers to SC patch panels, linking switches to fiber distribution frames, extending server and storage connections, and integrating new high-density equipment with existing SC-based cabling systems. Each cable is optically tested to help ensure dependable network performance before shipment.
