Belden Inc. FP4LULU08M5 OM4 Lc Duplex Fiber Patch Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. FP4LULU08M5 is an OM4 multimode fiber optic patch cable terminated with LC duplex connectors on both ends. It is designed to carry high-bandwidth optical signals between active network equipment such as switches, transceivers, and patch panels. At 8 meters in length, this cable suits structured cabling runs within data rooms, equipment racks, and communications closets. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors install this type of assembly as part of backbone or horizontal fiber distribution systems where OM4-rated glass supports 40G and 100G transmission protocols over short distances.

This patch cable is suited for use in commercial and enterprise network environments. Typical installation scenarios include connecting fiber switch ports to patch panels, linking server room equipment, and completing structured cabling segments within telecommunications rooms. The LC duplex form factor is a common connector type in high-density fiber installations where space efficiency and repeatable mating cycles are required.

Key Features

• OM4-rated multimode fiber supporting high-bandwidth 40G and 100G applications
• LC duplex connectors on both ends for standard high-density fiber port terminations
• 8-meter factory-assembled length for structured cabling flexibility
• Single-unit packaging suitable for targeted replacement or system expansion

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fiber patch cable for OM4 multimode fiber systems using LC duplex interface ports.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage cabling contractors or qualified network technicians. Before connecting or disconnecting fiber patch cables, power down or disable the associated optical transceivers where required by site procedures to avoid exposure to laser light. Handle LC connectors carefully to avoid contaminating the fiber end-face, as contamination is a leading cause of signal loss. Follow TIA-568 and applicable local structured cabling standards for bend radius and routing.
