Deployment / Use Cases
This MPO/UPC to MPO/UPC fiber patch cable is ideal for connecting network devices in data centers, server rooms, and enterprise networks where high-density fiber patching is required. Its 12-strand design supports parallel optics applications, such as 40G and 100G Ethernet, by utilizing multiple fibers simultaneously.
Common use cases include linking switches to patch panels, connecting transceivers in SANs, and facilitating backbone connections between floors in riser-rated environments. The aqua color aids in quick identification, streamlining cable management and troubleshooting processes.
Data Center Patching
Use for high-density fiber enclosures and MPO-based trunk cables, enabling efficient space utilization and scalable network growth.
Riser Applications
Deploy in vertical shafts between building floors where OFNR-rated cables are mandated for fire safety, ensuring code compliance without extra protection.
Physical Profile
The cable features a sleek aqua-colored jacket and matching MPO/UPC connectors, providing a cohesive appearance that aligns with OM4 multi-mode fiber color standards. Its lightweight design at 6.40 oz (181.44 g) facilitates easy installation and reduces stress on ports during cable management.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 6.40 oz (181.44 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
What is the length of this AddOn fiber patch cable?
This AddOn fiber patch cable measures 23 feet, which is equivalent to 7 meters. This length provides flexibility for connecting network equipment over short to medium distances in data centers or office environments, reducing the need for excessive cable slack or additional couplers.
What type of connectors does this cable have on both ends?
Both ends of the cable feature MPO/UPC network connectors with female gender. MPO (Multi-fiber Push-On) connectors support multiple fibers in a single interface, while UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polishing ensures low insertion loss and high return loss for reliable optical performance in high-speed applications.
Is this cable suitable for riser applications?
Yes, this cable is riser-rated with an OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-Conductive Riser) jacket. This means it meets fire safety standards for vertical installations between floors in buildings, allowing use in riser shafts without additional conduit where local codes permit OFNR-rated cables.
What is the fiber category and mode of this patch cable?
This cable uses OM4 multi-mode fiber with a 50/125 µm core/cladding specification. OM4 fiber supports high bandwidth over longer distances compared to older OM categories, making it ideal for 10G, 40G, and 100G Ethernet applications in data centers and enterprise networks.
How many strands does this fiber patch cable have?
The cable contains 12 strands of fiber. This multi-strand design enables parallel optics for high-density connectivity, such as in 40G and 100G Ethernet systems where multiple fibers are used simultaneously to achieve higher data rates without increasing individual fiber speed.
What color is the cable jacket and connectors?
The cable jacket and connectors are both aqua color, which falls within the green color family. This aqua hue is standard for OM4 multi-mode fiber cables, aiding in quick visual identification and organization within network infrastructure to streamline maintenance and upgrades.
