VALUE 21.99.8765 Fibre Optic Patch Cable

The VALUE Fibre Optic Jumper Cable 21.99.8765 is a 5.0 m multimode patch cable manufactured to OM4 specifications with a 50/125 µm core/cladding geometry and LC to SC connectors. Designed for high-speed networks, the purple jumper supports current 1 and 10 Gbit/s links and is compatible with higher-bandwidth 40 Gbit/s and 100 Gbit/s systems over appropriate link designs. OM4 fiber provides increased laser bandwidth, extended reach for building and campus backbones, and compact routing for data center patching.

Advantages

This OM4 50/125 µm fibre jumper delivers improved modal bandwidth and lower attenuation compared with lower-grade multimode fibers, enabling longer reach at 10 Gbit/s and more reliable short-reach performance in dense installations. The LC/SC connector combination allows flexible patching between different equipment types, while the standardized multimode geometry ensures compatibility with standard multimode transceivers. The purple jacket provides immediate visual identification for OM4 cabling in mixed-fiber environments.

Suitable for

• Data center horizontal and patch panel connections
• Building backbone links and campus interconnects
• High-performance computing clusters and server farms
• Telecommunications rooms and network equipment patching
• Laboratory and testbench fiber installations

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM4, 50/125 µm
• Connector types: LC (one end) to SC (other end)
• Length: 5.0 meters
• Color: Purple (OM4 identification)
• Laser bandwidth: approximately 4700 MHz·km (OM4 class)
• Typical supported reach: up to 550 m at 10 Gbit/s (depending on transceivers and link design)

How to use

Before installation, inspect connector endfaces for dust or contamination and clean with an appropriate fiber cleaning tool if necessary. Route the jumper to avoid sharp bends and maintain bend radii within manufacturer recommendations to prevent increased loss. Insert the SC connector into the SC adapter or equipment port and plug the LC connector into the LC adapter or transceiver cage; ensure secure seating of each connector. Verify link integrity and optical loss with a power meter or certified test equipment after installation.

Recommendations

Use this OM4 LC/SC jumper in environments where multimode high-bandwidth performance and visual identification are required. For best results, combine with OM4-rated patch panels, trunks, and transceivers, and follow standard fiber handling practices: keep connectors capped when not in use, avoid excessive pulling force, and maintain bend radii to preserve signal integrity.
