Leviton Telcom 54DLC-M02 Fiber Optic Patch Cord 50/125um

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM 54DLC-M02 is a 50/125 micrometer laser-optimized multimode fiber optic patch cord designed for structured cabling and data network infrastructure. It provides a pre-terminated, plug-and-play fiber connection between active equipment, patch panels, and fiber distribution hardware. The 50/125 um core-to-cladding geometry is engineered to work with 850 nm VCSEL laser sources common in high-speed Ethernet and SAN applications. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors install this cord as a flexible interconnect between ports, reducing insertion loss and maintaining signal integrity in multimode fiber runs.

This patch cord is suited for use in telecommunications rooms, data centers, server closets, and enterprise LAN environments. It is appropriate for applications running Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, and other laser-based multimode protocols over OM3 or compatible 50/125 um infrastructure. The cord connects switches, routers, media converters, and fiber patch panels in both horizontal and backbone cabling systems. It is sold as a single unit and is ready to install without field termination.

Key Features

• 50/125 micrometer multimode fiber construction optimized for laser light sources
• Pre-terminated for immediate deployment without field polishing or epoxy
• Compatible with VCSEL-based laser transmitters at 850 nm wavelength
• Supports high-speed multimode protocols including 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications
• Sold individually as a single patch cord unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard interconnect for 50/125 micrometer laser-optimized multimode fiber optic cabling systems and patch panels.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage cabling contractors or qualified network technicians. Power down or disable the active fiber ports before connecting or disconnecting patch cords to avoid exposure to laser light. Inspect connector end-faces for contamination prior to installation and clean with appropriate fiber optic cleaning tools. Route patch cords within manufacturer-specified bend radius limits to avoid signal degradation.
