Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is ideal for connecting network switches, servers, storage arrays, and other fiber optic equipment in data centers, server rooms, and enterprise network environments. The 45-meter length provides flexibility for longer runs between equipment racks or across larger facilities.
Common applications include backbone connections between network distribution frames, inter-building links within campus environments, and high-speed connections for storage area networks (SAN) and network-attached storage (NAS) systems. The indoor rating makes it suitable for controlled environment installations where environmental protection isn't required.
Data Center Infrastructure
Connect core networking equipment with reliable OM4 fiber supporting 100G Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and other high-speed protocols.
Vertical Riser Installations
Deploy between floors in multi-story buildings with OFNR-rated jacket meeting fire safety standards for riser applications.
Physical Profile
The cable features a distinctive aqua green jacket that helps identify it as OM4 fiber in crowded cable management systems. The stranded construction provides flexibility for routing through conduits and cable trays, while the approximate weight of 2.30 pounds (1043.26 grams) reflects the substantial build quality expected for professional-grade fiber optic cabling.

FAQ
What type of connectors does this fiber cable have?
This cable features LC connectors on both ends, specifically 1 x LC Network - Male connector on each end. The LC interface is a small form-factor connector widely used in high-density fiber optic applications, and the male gender ensures proper mating with female LC ports on network equipment.
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported?
The ADD-LC-LC-45M5OM4 supports data transfer rates up to 100 Gbit/s when used with compatible network equipment. This high-speed capability makes it suitable for 100 Gigabit Ethernet, high-speed Fibre Channel, and other bandwidth-intensive applications in modern data centers and enterprise networks.
Is this cable suitable for installation between building floors?
Yes, this cable features an OFNR riser-rated jacket that meets fire safety standards for vertical riser applications. The riser rating indicates it can be installed in vertical shafts or between floors without conduit, making it appropriate for multi-story building deployments where fire resistance is required.
What does bend insensitive mean for this fiber cable?
Bend insensitive refers to the fiber's ability to maintain signal integrity when bent around tight radii or subjected to physical stress during installation. This characteristic reduces signal loss that typically occurs when conventional fiber is bent, allowing for more flexible routing through crowded cable pathways without performance degradation.
What is the difference between OM4 and other fiber categories?
OM4 is a multi-mode fiber category that offers higher bandwidth and longer reach compared to OM3 and OM2 fibers. With a 50/125 µm core and enhanced modal bandwidth, OM4 supports 100 Gbit/s transmission over distances up to 150 meters, making it ideal for high-speed data center and enterprise backbone applications.
What warranty comes with this fiber optic cable?
AddOn provides a lifetime limited warranty for this fiber patch cable. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product, offering long-term assurance of quality and reliability for your network infrastructure investment.
