Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable uses OM4-grade multi-mode fiber with a 50/125 µm core/cladding specification, optimized for 40 Gbit/s Ethernet and other high-speed protocols. The MPO connectors feature physical contact (PC) polished ends for low insertion loss and high return loss, ensuring stable optical performance.
The stranded construction provides flexibility for routing in tight spaces, while the riser-rated OFNR jacket offers flame-retardant properties suitable for vertical runs between floors. With no shielding required for fiber optics, the cable maintains signal integrity without electromagnetic interference concerns.
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.

Durable Construction
Features a riser-rated OFNR jacket that meets fire safety standards for vertical installations, ensuring compliance in commercial and data center settings.
Precision MPO Connectors
Equipped with male MPO connectors on both ends, providing a secure, push-pull connection for quick deployment and reliable mating in MPO-based systems.
Deployment / Use Cases
This cable is compatible with a wide range of network devices, including patch panels, switches, media converters, routers, and other fiber-based equipment. Its 5-meter length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack or intra-rack connections without excessive slack.
Ideal for environments requiring OM4 multi-mode fiber, such as SANs, data centers, and enterprise networks upgrading to higher-speed infrastructures. The MPO connectors streamline deployments in pre-terminated cabling systems, reducing installation time and complexity.
Data Center Backbone
Connect switches, routers, and patch panels in high-density environments where 40 Gbit/s throughput is required for aggregation or spine-leaf architectures.
Enterprise Networking
Use in server rooms, telecom closets, or between floors for riser-rated vertical runs, supporting devices like media converters, hubs, and network appliances.
Physical Profile
The cable features an aqua-colored jacket from the green color family, making it easily identifiable in cable trays and management systems. With an approximate weight of 6.40 oz (181.44 g), it is lightweight yet robust for handling during installation. The riser-rated OFNR jacket ensures safety in vertical applications, while the flexible stranded design allows for smooth routing around corners and through conduits.

FAQ
What is the length of this AddOn fiber patch cable?
This AddOn cable is 5 meters long, which equals 16.4 feet. This length is suitable for rack-to-rack connections, intra-data center links, or vertical riser runs without excessive slack, providing flexibility in various networking setups.
What type of connectors does this cable have on both ends?
Both ends feature MPO network male connectors. Each end has a single MPO male connector, making it a male-to-male patch cable designed for direct connections between MPO ports on switches, patch panels, or other fiber equipment.
What fiber category and mode does this cable support?
This cable uses OM4 multi-mode fiber with a 50/125 µm core/cladding specification. OM4 is optimized for high-speed applications like 40 Gbit/s and 100 Gbit/s Ethernet, offering higher bandwidth and longer reach compared to older OM3 standards.
What is the data transfer rate of this fiber patch cable?
It supports data transfer rates up to 40 Gbit/s. This makes it ideal for 40GbE networks, data center backbones, and other high-throughput environments where low latency and high bandwidth are critical for performance.
Is this cable riser-rated, and what does that mean?
Yes, it has a riser-rated OFNR jacket. OFNR stands for Optical Fiber Non-Conductive Riser, indicating the jacket meets fire safety standards for vertical installations between floors, reducing flame spread in riser applications.
What devices is this cable compatible with?
It is compatible with patch panels, hubs, switches, media converters, routers, and other network devices that support MPO connectors and multi-mode fiber. This versatility allows for use in diverse networking scenarios from data centers to enterprise setups.
