Cabo de fibra ótica duplex LC BlueOptics CBL-LC-OM4-15M-BO 15 m macho/macho

The BlueOptics CBL-LC-OM4-15M-BO Duplex LC Fibre Optic Cable 15m Male/Male is a 15-metre multimode OM4 patch cable with LC/UPC connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed optical links, it is intended for connecting patch panels, transceivers and network equipment in data centres and enterprise installations. The cable uses laser-optimized multimode fibre and a low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) outer sheath to meet safety and installation requirements while minimising signal attenuation over short- to medium-range links.

Advantages

This OM4 duplex LC-LC cable offers low insertion loss and high return loss, with components chosen to ensure stable optical performance. Connectors use zirconia ceramic ferrules for durable mating cycles and consistent contact quality. The cable is manufactured and tested to industry standards with interferometer and OTDR verification, and each unit is supplied with measured input loss and return loss values. The LSZH jacket reduces halogen release and smoke in case of fire and supports deployment in enclosed or regulated environments.

Suitable for

• Short- to medium-distance multimode links in data centres
• Interconnects between patch panels and optical transceivers
• High-density network racks and telecom cabinets
• Enterprise LAN backbones and server-to-switch connections

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Multimode OM4, laser-optimized
• Length: 15 metres
• Connector type: Duplex LC/UPC to LC/UPC, male-to-male
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Typical performance: low insertion loss, high return loss (measured per unit)
• Testing: interferometer and OTDR verification with provided measurement protocol
• Durability: zirconia ceramic ferrule, rated for extended mating cycles

How to use

Route the duplex cable between the two equipment ports ensuring the correct polarity for transmit and receive channels. Secure the cable within racks or conduits to avoid excessive bending or tensile stress; adhere to the manufacturer’s specified minimum bend radius to prevent increased attenuation. Clean connector endfaces before mating and verify connections using optical power meters or transceiver diagnostics where available. Follow standard fibre handling procedures to avoid contamination or damage to the ferrule and ferrule endface.

Recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a dust-free environment and always use appropriate cleaning tools for LC connectors. For installations in confined spaces or public buildings, the LSZH jacket supports compliance with reduced smoke and halogen emission requirements. For best performance in high-density or mission-critical links, verify measured insertion and return loss values against system budgets before finalising deployment.
