Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic patch cable is rated OM4, optimized for high-speed multi-mode applications. The 50/125 µm core/cladding specification provides high bandwidth over longer distances compared to OM3. The MPO-12/APC female connectors on both ends support 12-fiber strands, enabling parallel optics for 100 GbE and other high-density interconnects.
The cable is unshielded and features an OFNG (Optical Fiber Non-conductive General Purpose) and LSZH jacket, ensuring compliance with fire safety standards for riser and plenum spaces. It is intended for indoor use and weighs approximately 2.50 lb (1.13 kg). The green connector color helps identify APC polish, which reduces back reflection for improved signal integrity.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data rate this cable supports?
This OM4 fiber patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 100 Gbit/s, making it suitable for 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GbE) and other high-speed applications over distances up to the rated 50 meters. The OM4 category is optimized for 100G parallel optics and can also support lower speeds like 40G and 25G with appropriate transceivers.
What type of connectors does this cable use?
The cable has MPO-12/APC female connectors on both ends. MPO-12 refers to a 12-fiber multi-fiber push-on connector, while APC (Angled Physical Contact) means the fiber end face is polished at an 8-degree angle to reduce back reflection. The connectors are color-coded green for APC single-mode or APC multi-mode identification.
Is this cable compatible with standard QSFP28 modules?
Yes, this cable is designed for use with QSFP28 and other 100G optical transceivers that feature MPO-12/APC interfaces. It works with both SR4 and PSM4 optics, provided the transceiver supports multi-mode fiber and the correct connector polarity. Always verify compatibility with your specific equipment.
What is the jacket material and its rating?
The jacket is made of Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) material and is rated OFNG (Optical Fiber Non-conductive General Purpose). This means the cable is suitable for indoor use in riser or general-purpose spaces and emits low smoke and no halogen toxic gases in case of fire, enhancing safety in confined areas.
Is this cable shielded?
No, this fiber optic cable does not have metal shielding. Fiber cables are immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), so shielding is not required for data integrity. The lack of shielding also reduces weight and cost.
What is the difference between OM4 and OM3 fiber?
OM4 fiber has a higher modal bandwidth than OM3, typically 4700 MHz·km compared to 2000 MHz·km for OM3. This allows OM4 to support longer distances at high data rates: for 100GbE, OM4 reaches 150 meters while OM3 reaches 100 meters. The 50-meter length of this cable is well within the capability of both, but OM4 provides additional margin and future-proofing.
