FC to FC OM4 Multimode Simplex Fiber Patch Cord

In equipment, laboratory and telecom projects, this FC to FC patch cord is normally specified where both ends of the optical link already use threaded FC interfaces and the installed fiber system is based on OM4 50/125 μm multimode fiber. The simplex construction provides one optical channel, making it suitable for defined equipment-to-equipment, equipment-to-panel or test-system connections rather than conventional duplex transceiver patching.

The FC interface should be confirmed together with connector polish and the existing multimode link specification. FC connectors can be supplied with different end-face finishes, so matching the connector body alone is not enough to finalize the cable. The OM4 fiber type, simplex structure and optical interface should remain consistent with the connected equipment and the rest of the installed link.

For project quantities, cable length, diameter, jacket requirement and connector polish should be fixed as part of the approved cable configuration before production. This is particularly important when identical patch cords are being installed across multiple instruments, racks or equipment locations, where changes in cable construction or connector finish can create unnecessary variation between sites.

For other equipment interfaces and multimode configurations, see our Fiber Patch Cords. For projects involving equipment cabinets and rack-level fiber distribution, see our Optical Distribution Frames.

FC to FC OM4 Fiber Patch Cord Specifications

For project supply, confirm the FC connector polish, OM4 fiber, simplex construction, cable length and jacket specification against the approved equipment link before finalizing production quantities.

For repeat project supply, the approved FC polish, fiber construction, cable length and jacket configuration should remain consistent across the order so the same cable assembly can be deployed without changing the equipment-side connection standard.
