Aqua duplex fibre cable with LC UPC connectors and push-pull tabs

STARTECH

STARTECH 450FBLCLC3PP 3m LC/UPC OM4 fibre optic cable

SKU CH-D7YH-NPZFE MPN 450FBLCLC3PP

A 3 m duplex LC/UPC patch cord with push-pull tabs for 40/100G OM4 links, backward compatible with OM3 and 1/10/40G networks

  • Enables 40/100G network connections with OM4 multimode fiber
  • Push-pull tabs allow quick connection and removal in high-density setups
  • Bend-insensitive fiber with molded strain relief supports tight bends while maintaining low attenuation
  • Retractable strain-relief housings enable toolless in-field polarity swapping
  • Ceramic ferrules ensure precise fiber alignment to minimize insertion loss and improve return loss

3 m LC/UPC OM4 fibre patch cable

This three-metre LC/UPC to LC/UPC OM4 multimode fibre optic cable supports 40 and 100 G network connections. Push-pull tabs on each connector allow quick insertion and removal in high-density patch panels. Bend-insensitive fibre and moulded strain reliefs maintain low attenuation through tight bends. Retractable strain-relief housings enable toolless in-field polarity swapping.

Suited for high-density 40/100G links

Network engineers deploying 40 G or 100 G multimode links in data-centre or campus environments will benefit from the precision ceramic ferrules and colour-coded duplex connectors that prevent polarity errors. The cable is backward compatible with OM3 and 1/10/40 G infrastructure, so it fits existing plant without re-cabling. Buyers who require single-mode fibre or connectors other than LC/UPC should select a different product.

Simple push-pull installation

The push-pull tabs make mating and unmating straightforward even when ports are closely spaced, and the retractable housings let technicians swap polarity without tools. Care is needed to keep the ceramic end-faces clean, as contamination is the most common cause of insertion-loss spikes. Exceeding the fibre’s minimum bend radius can still degrade performance despite the bend-insensitive design.

Questions about this item

Which network interfaces must I already have for this 3 m LC/UPC OM4 cable to work?

You need LC duplex ports on both ends — switches, transceivers or patch panels — that accept multimode 50/125 µm fibre.

Will this OM4 cable work with the OM3 patch cords I am keeping in the same rack?

Yes, the OM4 cable is backward compatible with OM3 and with 1/10/40 G networks, so it can sit alongside existing OM3 links.

How can I confirm the cable is performing correctly after I connect it?

Verify low insertion loss and good return loss at 850 nm or 1300 nm with a light source and power meter, and check that the link negotiates the expected 10, 40 or 100 G speed.
