Product Features
Technical Overview
Built to OM4 standards, this cable supports multimode transmission with a core/cladding specification of 50/125 µm, enabling efficient data transfer for 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE applications. The stranded fiber construction enhances flexibility and durability, reducing breakage risk during installation and routine handling.
The SC connectors feature a push-pull latching mechanism for secure connections in high-density patch panels. With no shielding required for fiber optic signals, the cable maintains signal integrity without electromagnetic interference concerns. The standard boot design protects the connector-ferrule interface from dust and physical damage.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Fiber Optic Mode, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

Deployment / Use Cases
This SC to SC patch cable is ideal for connecting network equipment in enterprise environments where reliable, high-bandwidth fiber links are essential. Its 1 m length makes it perfect for short interconnects within racks or between adjacent devices.
Common applications include linking switches to servers in data centers, connecting SAN storage arrays, patching fiber distribution panels, and extending network backbones in office buildings. The aqua color provides quick visual identification of OM4 cables in complex cabling systems.
Data Center Interconnects
Use for top-of-rack switching, spine-leaf architectures, or connecting to fiber channel storage where low latency and high throughput are critical.
Enterprise Network Patching
Deploy in telecom rooms, equipment closets, or between floors for reliable backbone connections that support voice, data, and video traffic.
Physical Profile
The cable features a slim, flexible design with an aqua-colored PVC jacket that resists abrasion and maintains integrity in tight spaces. Beige SC connectors provide contrast for easy connector identification during installation and troubleshooting. With a lightweight construction at 1.60 oz, the cable minimizes stress on ports and panels while supporting neat cable management practices.

FAQ
What is the maximum data speed supported by this OM4 fiber patch cable?
This OM4 cable supports data rates up to 100 Gb/s over short distances, making it suitable for 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE applications in data centers and enterprise networks. The 50/125 µm multimode fiber provides the bandwidth needed for high-performance computing and storage area networks.
Can this cable be used in vertical riser applications between floors?
Yes, the OFNR riser-rated jacket meets fire safety standards for vertical installations in riser spaces. This makes it appropriate for running cables between floors in office buildings or data centers where fire resistance is required for compliance with building codes.
What does UPC polish mean on the SC connectors?
UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polish refers to the connector end-face finish that minimizes back reflection and insertion loss. This results in cleaner signal transmission with reduced optical return loss, which is important for maintaining signal integrity in high-speed fiber networks.
Is this cable compatible with existing OM3 or OM2 fiber infrastructure?
Yes, OM4 is backward compatible with OM3 and OM2 multimode fiber standards. You can use this cable to upgrade or patch connections in networks using older multimode fiber, though maximum distances may be limited by the lowest category in the link.
What is the advantage of the stranded fiber construction?
Stranded fiber construction uses multiple thin glass fibers instead of a single solid core, making the cable more flexible and resistant to breakage. This enhances durability during installation, routing, and repeated handling in patch panels, reducing the risk of performance degradation from micro-bends.
Does this cable come with any warranty or compliance certifications?
The cable includes a lifetime warranty from AddOn and is RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant, meaning it contains no lead, mercury, or other restricted materials. It is not TAA compliant and is manufactured in China with environmentally friendly processes.
