1m OM4 duplex patch cable
This one-metre OM4 multimode patch cable uses 50/125 µm fibre with LC/UPC connectors on both ends. It is built for high-throughput links in data centres, campus backbones and dense patch-panel environments. The aqua PVC jacket is OFNR riser rated for vertical runs between floors. Backward compatibility with existing 50/125 µm LED-based systems is maintained.
Sustained bandwidth over distance
OM4 specification provides an Effective Modal Bandwidth of 4700 MHz/km at 850 nm, supporting 10 Gb links up to 550 m and 40 Gb or 100 Gb links up to 150 m. Insertion loss stays below .3 dB and return loss exceeds 35 dB, preserving signal integrity over long, continuous transmissions. The duplex construction keeps transmit and receive paths separate for full-duplex operation. It is not suited for single-mode distances or wavelengths outside the 850 nm VCSEL window.
Thermal noise and power profile
Passive fibre carries no electrical current, so the cable adds no heat, draws no power and produces no acoustic noise. The 2.0 mm PVC jacket resists deformation in tight cable trays without affecting optical performance. LC/UPC ferrules hold end-face geometry under repeated mating cycles. Installers needing armoured or plenum-rated jackets for air-handling spaces should select a different cable type.

Questions about this item
Does the 2.0 mm PVC jacket and <0.3 dB insertion loss stay stable when the OM4 duplex cable runs continuously in a riser shaft?
The OFNR-rated jacket is built for vertical shafts between floors, and the <0.3 dB insertion loss with >35 dB return loss is verified per connector pair so performance remains consistent during all-day operation.
What transceiver interfaces must my switches already provide for this LC/UPC duplex patch cord to work?
You need SFP, SFP+ or QSFP modules with LC duplex receptacles operating at 850 nm over 50/125 µm multimode fibre; the cable itself is passive and simply connects two such ports.
Will this OM4 aqua cable with UPC polish interoperate with my existing OM3 50/125 µm links and LED-based 10GbE gear?
Yes — OM4 is backward compatible with OM3 and legacy 50/125 µm LED systems, so the aqua-jacketed cable can extend or replace older runs without changing transceivers.
