Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Connect the LC male connectors at each end of the cable to the corresponding LC female ports on your network devices (e.g., switches, servers, transceivers). Ensure the connectors click into place, indicating a secure connection.
Compatibility:
This cable is designed for use with OM4 multimode fiber optic equipment. Both connected devices must have LC type fiber optic ports. It is compatible with all standard fiber optic equipment that supports OM4 or lower multimode types (OM1, OM2, OM3).
Care:
- Handling: Always handle fiber optic connectors by their housing, avoiding touching the ferrule tip. Dust caps should be kept on connectors when not in use.
- Cleaning: If cleaning is necessary, use a specialized fiber optic cleaning tool or lint-free wipes with an appropriate cleaning solvent (e.g., isopropyl alcohol). Refer to specific cleaning guidelines for LC connectors.
- Storage: Store the cable away from sharp objects, excessive heat, or moisture. Avoid kinking the cable, as this can damage the fiber core.
