Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable utilizes OM4 multi-mode fiber optic technology, which provides enhanced bandwidth and longer reach compared to previous generations, supporting high-speed Ethernet and fiber channel applications. The 50/125 µm core size is optimized for multi-mode transmission, balancing performance with cost-effectiveness for short to medium-distance runs.
The connector configuration includes one MPO female connector on the first end and eight LC male connectors on the second end, enabling efficient fan-out from high-density MPO interfaces to individual LC connections. This design reduces cable clutter and simplifies patching in structured cabling systems.
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.

FAQ
What is the cable length and how does it impact deployment?
The cable is 32.8 ft (10 m) long, providing sufficient reach for typical data center or office network runs without excessive slack. This length is ideal for connecting equipment within racks or between adjacent racks, balancing flexibility with minimal cable management overhead.
What connectors are on each end of this fan-out cable?
One end has a single MPO female connector, while the other end has eight LC male connectors arranged as four duplex pairs. This MPO to LC configuration allows one high-density MPO port to fan out to multiple LC ports, simplifying connections in environments with mixed interface types.
What fiber type and category does this cable use?
It uses OM4 multi-mode fiber with a 50/125 µm core/cladding specification. OM4 fiber supports higher bandwidth and longer distances than OM3, making it suitable for 40 Gbit/s applications over short to medium ranges, such as within data centers or building backbones.
What does the riser-rated jacket mean for installation?
The riser-rated (OFNR) jacket indicates the cable meets fire safety standards for vertical installations, such as between floors in riser shafts. It resists flame propagation and reduces smoke emission, ensuring compliance with building codes and enhancing safety in multi-story deployments.
What data transfer rate does this cable support?
This cable supports data transfer rates up to 40 Gbit/s, enabled by its OM4 multi-mode fiber. This high-speed capability makes it compatible with modern Ethernet standards like 40GBASE-SR4, suitable for backbone links, server connections, and high-performance network segments.
Is this cable halogen-free and why is that important?
Yes, it features a halogen-free jacket, which means it does not emit toxic halogen gases when exposed to fire. This enhances safety by reducing health risks and corrosion damage to equipment in emergency situations, aligning with environmental and safety regulations in commercial installations.
