Price range: $46.65 through $63.27
This OM4 LC to SC duplex fiber jumper cable provides high-performance connectivity between modern networking equipment and traditional fiber infrastructure. Featuring a compact LC connector on one end and a reliable SC connector on the other, this cable is commonly used when connecting high-density switches or transceivers to SC-based patch panels. The flexible 2.0Â mm orange jacket allows clean cable routing while supporting demanding high-speed optical networking environments.
| Fiber Type | Jacket Color | Core Size | Typical Speed | Distance | Best Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| OM1 | Orange | 62.5 µm | 1 Gbps | ~275 m | Legacy networks |
| OM2 | Orange | 50 µm | 1 Gbps | ~550 m | Enterprise networks |
| OM3 | Aqua | 50 µm (laser optimized) | 10 Gbps | ~300 m | Modern data centers |
| OM4 | Erika Violet | 50 µm (advanced laser optimized) | 10–100 Gbps+ | ~550 m (10G) ~150 m (40/100G) |
