Multimode E2000-LC OM4, cable length: 2 m. Fiber quality: OM4. Connectors: E2000 - LC. Multimode fiber with a fiber diameter of 50/125 µm. A conventional electrical signal in a copper cable is disrupted by electromagnetic interference. In contrast, fiber optic cables offer better protection against interference and are also more secure against eavesdropping. Additionally, due to the low attenuation of fiber optic cables, long distances can be bridged.

E2000 connector: The E2000 connector is suitable for single-mode and multimode fibers and is characterized by its high data throughput. A unique feature of the E2000 connector is a small flap that protects the user from escaping laser beams and the fiber end from dirt and damage.

LC connector: The LC connector is a high-performance fiber optic connector for single-mode and multimode applications, distinguished by low insertion loss. It is one of the most commonly used types of fiber optic connectors. The design of the LC connector is based on a single-fiber ceramic ferrule with a diameter of 1.25 mm for a fiber optic cable. Due to its compact design, the LC connector allows for high packing density, making it frequently used for fiber optic switches.

OM4 classification: The OM designation for a fiber optic cable defines the quality class of a multimode fiber optic cable. The classification distinguishes four classes (OM1 to OM4). The distinction is made based on the level of optical attenuation and the possible transmission rate and distance. The fiber categories OM3 and OM4 are intended for high-speed applications such as (10/40/100-)Gigabit Ethernet or Fibre Channel at 850 nm. OM4-class multimode fibers have an Effective Modal Bandwidth (EMB) of 4.7 GHz x km.
