Leviton Telcom 54DLC-M03 OM4 Duplex Lc-lc Mm Patch Cable

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM 54DLC-M03 is an OM4 duplex multimode fiber optic patch cable with LC connectors on both ends, terminated in a 3-meter length. Designed for high-bandwidth data network installations, this cable supports 40G and 100G transmission over multimode fiber infrastructure. The duplex configuration carries simultaneous bidirectional signals over two strands, making it a standard choice for switch-to-patch-panel and server-to-switch connections in structured cabling environments. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors install this type of cable in enterprise data centers, telecommunications rooms, and campus backbone applications.

This patch cable is suited for horizontal and backbone runs within OM4-rated fiber optic systems. Typical installation scenarios include connecting active equipment ports to fiber patch panels, linking switches and transceivers, and patching between distribution frames in equipment rooms. The 3-meter length accommodates short within-rack and rack-to-rack runs. It is appropriate for both new installations and upgrades to existing OM4 fiber plant infrastructure in commercial and enterprise environments.

Key Features

• OM4-rated multimode fiber supports 40G and 100G transmission distances per TIA/EIA standards
• Duplex LC to LC connector configuration for bidirectional signal transmission
• 3-meter cable length suited for short patch and equipment room runs
• LC connectors provide a compact, push-pull locking interface compatible with high-density panels and transceivers
• Factory-terminated and tested for plug-and-play installation with no field splicing required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cable for use with OM4 multimode fiber optic patch panels, switches, and transceivers equipped with duplex LC ports in structured cabling installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage cabling contractors or network technicians following ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Power down active ports or use appropriate port covers before connecting or disconnecting fiber patch cables to protect optical transceivers. Never bend the cable below its minimum bend radius, and avoid applying tension that could stress the LC connector ferrules. Inspect and clean connector end-faces with an appropriate fiber optic cleaning tool before mating to ensure signal integrity.
