Lightwin LWL patch cable LC-ST, multimode, OM4, 10 m. Cable length: 10 m. Fiber quality: OM4. Connectors: LC - ST. Serial number on each cable. General information about fiber optic cables. Equivalent terms for fiber optic patch cables can include patch cords, adapter cables, connection cables, or jumpers. While a conventional signal in a copper cable can be subject to electrical interference, fiber optic cables operate with light. Therefore, they cannot be affected by external electromagnetic interference, nor do fiber optic cables affect other lines or signals, as they emit no radiation. Additionally, due to the low attenuation of optical cables, distances of well over 100 km can be bridged without optical amplification.

The LC connector is a high-performance fiber optic connector for singlemode and multimode applications and is characterized by low insertion loss. It is one of the most common types of fiber optic connectors. The design of the LC connector is based on a single-fiber ceramic ferrule with a diameter of 1.25 mm for a light waveguide. Due to its compact design, the LC connector allows for high packing density, making it frequently used for fiber optic switches.

The OM designation for a light waveguide defines the quality class of a multimode fiber optic cable. The classification distinguishes four classes (OM1 to OM4). The distinction is made based on the level of optical attenuation and the possible transmission rate and distance. The fiber categories OM3 and OM4 are intended for high-speed applications such as (10/40/100-)Gigabit Ethernet or Fibre Channel at 850 nm. OM4-class multimode fibers have an Effective Modal Bandwidth (EMB) of 4.7 GHz x km.
