Belden Inc. FP4LULU05M5 OM4 Lc Duplex Fiber Patch Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. FP4LULU05M5 is an OM4 multimode fiber optic patch cable configured with LC Duplex connectors on both ends and measuring 5 meters in length. It is designed to carry high-bandwidth optical signals between active network equipment such as switches, transceivers, and media converters. OM4 multimode fiber supports data rates up to 40G and 100G over short distances, making this cable a standard choice for structured cabling installations in data centers, server rooms, and telecommunications closets. Licensed network technicians and low-voltage cabling installers are the primary trades that handle this product.

This patch cable is suited for short-run horizontal or equipment-bay connections within commercial and enterprise network environments. Typical applications include switch-to-patch-panel runs, fiber cross-connect links, and equipment jumpers in high-density fiber distribution frames. The LC Duplex-to-LC Duplex configuration is one of the most common interface pairings in modern data center and campus network deployments. The 5-meter length provides adequate slack for equipment rack installations without excess cable management burden.

Key Features

• OM4 multimode fiber construction supports 40G and 100G Ethernet applications over short distances
• LC Duplex connectors on both ends for compatibility with standard SFP and SFP+ transceiver ports
• 5-meter cable length suitable for intra-rack and short inter-rack runs
• Factory-terminated and tested for insertion loss and return loss before shipment
• Sold as a single unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard installation patch cable for OM4 multimode fiber optic systems using LC Duplex interface ports.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage cabling technicians or network infrastructure installers following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Before connecting or disconnecting fiber patch cables, power down or disable the associated optical transceivers where required by site safety policy to avoid eye hazard from active laser sources. Keep connector end-faces clean using appropriate fiber optic cleaning tools prior to mating. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing to avoid signal degradation.
