OM4 Duplex Cable for High-Density Links
This 5 metre OM4 multimode fibre patch cable uses LC/LC connectors and a 2.0 mm PVC jacket rated OFNR for riser installations. It suits data-centre racks, campus backbones and storage-area networks that demand compact, high-density connectivity. The aqua jacket identifies the OM4 grade at a glance. Backward compatibility with existing 50/125 µm LED-based links protects earlier infrastructure investment.
Sustained Throughput Over Distance
The cable supports 10 Gb/s up to 550 metres and 40 Gb/s or 100 Gb/s up to 150 metres, maintaining performance across long runs without the signal decay seen in shorter-reach grades. An Effective Modal Bandwidth of 4700 MHz/km at 850 nm keeps modal dispersion low during continuous heavy loads. Insertion loss stays below .3 dB and return loss exceeds 35 dB, preserving link budget over extended operating periods.
Passive Operation With No Thermal Load
As a completely passive component the assembly generates no heat, draws no power and produces no acoustic noise regardless of data rate or duty cycle. The 2.0 mm jacket and small-form-factor LC connectors allow dense routing without airflow obstruction. UPC polish on both ends ensures stable, low-reflection mating cycles in patch panels that are frequently reconfigured.

Questions about this item
Does the 5 m OM4 duplex cable generate any heat or noise when it carries 10 Gb traffic all day?
No — it is a passive glass fibre cable with no active components, so it produces zero heat and zero noise regardless of data rate or run time.
What transceivers must I already own to plug this LC/LC duplex patch cord into my switches?
You need two SFP+ or QSFP+ modules with LC receptacles that support 50/125 µm multimode fibre at 850 nm.
Will this aqua-jacketed OM4 lead work with the orange OM3 patch cables and LED-based 1 Gb gear I already have in the rack?
Yes — it is backward compatible with 50/125 µm multimode links, so it interoperates with OM3 cabling and legacy LED transceivers at 1 Gb speeds.
