Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber patch cable utilizes OM4-grade multi-mode fiber with a 50/125 µm core/cladding specification, supporting high-speed data transmission over short to medium distances. The MPO/UPC connectors feature a female interface on both ends, enabling direct connections between compatible MPO ports without gender adapters.
The cable lacks shielding, which is typical for indoor fiber optic patch cables where electromagnetic interference is less of a concern. The standard boot type provides strain relief and protection for the connector interface, enhancing durability during frequent insertions and removals.
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.
Key Product Advantages
This cable offers several advantages for network professionals seeking dependable fiber optic connectivity. The MPO/UPC connector design supports high-density patching, reducing clutter and simplifying cable management in rack environments.
Riser-Rated Safety
The OFNR jacket complies with riser-rated fire safety standards, allowing safe installation in vertical shafts and between floors without conduit in many jurisdictions.
- Suitable for riser applications
- Fire-resistant PVC material
Optimized Performance
OM4 fiber and UPC polish minimize signal loss and reflection, ensuring reliable data transmission for 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE applications over appropriate distances.
- Low insertion loss
- Backward compatible with OM3/OM2
Deployment / Use Cases
This MPO/UPC to MPO/UPC patch cable is ideal for connecting MPO-based transceivers, patch panels, and networking equipment in data centers and enterprise networks. The 9.8 ft (3 m) length provides flexibility for short runs within racks or between adjacent enclosures.
Common applications include linking spine and leaf switches in fabric architectures, connecting fiber distribution panels, and patching high-speed storage area networks (SANs). The riser-rated jacket also makes it suitable for vertical runs in telecommunications closets and building risers where fire codes require OFNR compliance.
Data Center Patching
Use for direct connections between MPO ports on switches, routers, and patch panels in high-density data center environments.
Riser Installations
Deploy in vertical shafts between floors where riser-rated cable is mandated by building codes for fire safety.
Physical Profile
The cable features an aqua-colored PVC jacket that clearly identifies it as OM4 multi-mode fiber. The connectors match the jacket color for consistent visual coding. With a lightweight design at approximately 3.20 oz (90.72 g), the cable is easy to handle and route through cable management systems without excessive bulk.

FAQ
What type of connectors does this fiber patch cable have?
This cable has MPO/UPC female connectors on both ends. The MPO (Multi-fiber Push-On) connector accommodates 12 fibers in a single interface, while UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polish ensures low insertion loss and back reflection for reliable optical performance.
What is the cable length and why is it important?
The cable is 9.8 feet (3 meters) long. This length is ideal for short-distance patching within racks, between adjacent equipment, or in high-density data center environments where excess cable management can be challenging. It provides sufficient reach without creating unnecessary slack.
What does 'riser-rated' mean for this cable?
Riser-rated indicates the cable jacket meets OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) fire safety standards for vertical installations. This allows the cable to be run in riser spaces (vertical shafts between floors) without conduit in many building codes, as it resists flame propagation between floors.
What applications is this OM4 fiber cable suitable for?
This OM4 cable supports high-speed networking applications including 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE over appropriate distances. It's commonly used in data centers for spine-leaf connections, storage area networks, and connecting MPO-based transceivers. The riser rating also makes it suitable for vertical runs in commercial buildings.
What is the difference between OM4 and other fiber categories?
OM4 is a multi-mode fiber specification that supports higher bandwidth and longer distances than OM3 and OM2 fibers. With a 50/125 µm core and enhanced bandwidth, OM4 can carry 10GbE up to 400 meters and 100GbE up to 150 meters, making it suitable for modern high-speed data center applications.
Does this cable come with any warranty?
Yes, this AddOn fiber patch cable comes with a lifetime limited warranty. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product, providing long-term assurance of quality and reliability for your network infrastructure investment.
