Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber patch cable utilizes 50/125 µm multi-mode OM4 fiber with a maximum distance specification of 492.13 ft (150,000 mm). The MPO connectors on both ends feature female gender and Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) polish for optimal signal transmission with low insertion loss and back reflection. The standard boot design provides strain relief and protects the connector-ferrule interface during frequent insertions and removals.
The cable's construction includes 12 individual fiber strands arranged in a duplex configuration, enabling simultaneous bidirectional data transmission. With no electromagnetic shielding required for fiber optic media, this cable eliminates interference concerns common in copper-based installations while supporting the high bandwidth demands of modern network infrastructure.

Deployment / Use Cases
This MPO/UPC fiber patch cable is engineered for specific deployment scenarios where high-density, high-speed fiber connectivity is essential for network performance and reliability.
In data center environments, it serves as an ideal solution for connecting MPO-based transceivers in spine-leaf architectures, linking top-of-rack switches to aggregation layers, or patching between fiber distribution panels. The riser-rated jacket makes it equally suitable for vertical runs between server rooms on different floors, supporting backbone connections in multi-story commercial buildings.
Data Center Interconnect
Connect MPO-based 40G/100G switches, routers, and SAN equipment with reliable, high-bandwidth links that minimize cable clutter in densely populated racks.
Enterprise Backbone
Establish riser-compliant vertical connections between network distribution frames on different building levels, supporting high-speed inter-floor data transmission.
Physical Profile
The cable features a distinctive aqua color that aligns with industry standards for OM4 multi-mode fiber, providing immediate visual identification in complex cable management systems. The green color family designation further supports quick recognition during installation and troubleshooting. The lightweight PVC jacket construction at approximately 1.60 ounces ensures easy handling without compromising durability, while the stranded fiber design maintains flexibility for routing through tight spaces in equipment racks and cable trays.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported by this fiber patch cable?
This OM4-rated fiber patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 100 Gbit/s, making it suitable for high-speed network applications including 100 Gigabit Ethernet, 40 Gigabit Ethernet, and other high-bandwidth protocols commonly deployed in modern data centers and enterprise networks.
Can this cable be used for vertical riser installations between floors?
Yes, this cable features an OFNR riser-rated PVC jacket that meets fire safety standards for vertical riser installations. This certification allows deployment in plenum spaces and vertical runs between floors in commercial buildings without requiring additional conduit in many jurisdictions, making it ideal for multi-story network backbone connections.
What type of connectors are on each end of this fiber cable?
Both ends feature identical MPO (Multi-fiber Push-On) connectors with female gender and Ultra Physical Contact (UPC) polish. Each connector terminates 12 individual fiber strands in a single interface, providing high-density connectivity that reduces physical space requirements compared to individual LC or SC connectors.
What does the OM4 fiber category designation mean for this cable?
OM4 is a laser-optimized multi-mode fiber specification that supports higher bandwidth and longer distances than previous OM categories. This OM4-rated cable can transmit 100 Gbit/s signals up to 150 meters, providing extended reach for high-speed applications while maintaining backward compatibility with OM3 and OM2 equipment at appropriate distances.
Is this fiber patch cable shielded against electromagnetic interference?
No, this fiber optic cable does not include electromagnetic shielding. Fiber optic media transmits data using light rather than electrical signals, making it inherently immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). This characteristic eliminates the need for shielding that is essential in copper-based cables, while providing superior performance in electrically noisy environments.
What applications is this MPO/UPC fiber patch cable best suited for?
This cable is optimized for high-density data center interconnects, enterprise network backbones, storage area network (SAN) connections, and vertical riser installations. Its MPO connectors make it ideal for connecting MPO-based transceivers in spine-leaf architectures, while the riser-rated jacket supports compliant deployment between server rooms on different building floors in commercial environments.
