Fiber Optic Duplex Patch Cable OM4

This OM4 multimode duplex patch cable carries 10-Gbps Ethernet over 50/125-micron fibre. It is built for data-centre links that use 850-nm VCSEL or LED sources and need a plenum-rated jacket.

Capacity and headroom for 40-Gbps upgrade

The cable meets IEEE 802.3ae at 10 Gbps and provides a migration path toward 40-Gbps speeds without recabling. Backward compatibility with OM1, OM2 and OM3 lets it sit in existing multimode plant while leaving headroom for future bandwidth demands.

Practical limits of the OM4 multimode standard

OM4 multimode fibre reaches its modal-dispersion limit well before single-mode distances, so very long campus runs will need a different cable type. The LC-LC duplex connector pair also fixes the polarity and density, which cannot be changed without new patch cords.

Questions about this item

Will this OM4 duplex patch cable work with my existing OM3 and OM2 fiber runs?

Yes, it is backwards compatible with OM1, OM2 and OM3 cable so you can connect it directly to older multimode links without replacing them.

How can I verify the cable is performing correctly after installation?

The cable is 10-Gbps compliant per IEEE 802.3ae and designed for use with 850-nm VCSELs, so a 10-Gbps link light and clean eye diagram on your transceivers confirm proper operation.

Does the 1-metre aqua cable come with both LC connectors fitted or do I need to buy them separately?

It is supplied as a finished duplex patch cable with LC connectors on both ends, so no additional connectors or termination tools are required.
