Product Features
Technical Overview
This OM4-rated fiber patch cable supports high-bandwidth multi-mode applications with 50/125 µm core/cladding specifications. The LC connectors on both ends provide a compact, secure connection that is widely compatible with SFP, SFP+, and other LC-based fiber interfaces.
The cable features standard boots for strain relief and uses beige-colored connectors for visual identification. With no shielding required for its intended indoor use, the cable maintains a clean, straightforward design focused on optical performance rather than electromagnetic interference protection.
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.
Key Product Advantages
This fiber patch cable delivers essential advantages for network professionals seeking reliable, standards-compliant connectivity solutions.
Optimized Optical Performance
OM4 grading ensures support for 40G and 100G Ethernet applications over appropriate distances, while UPC polishing minimizes back reflection for stable signal quality.
- 50/125 µm core for multi-mode compatibility
- UPC connectors reduce insertion loss
- OM4 supports high-speed network protocols
Installation-Ready Design
The riser-rated OFNR jacket meets fire safety requirements for vertical installations, and the stranded construction allows for repeated bending without performance degradation.
- OFNR rating for inter-floor runs
- Stranded design enhances flexibility
- Standard boots provide connector protection
Deployment / Use Cases
This LC to LC patch cable serves multiple roles in modern network infrastructure, particularly where short-distance, high-bandwidth fiber connections are required.
In data center environments, it connects switches to servers or storage arrays within racks. For enterprise networks, it patches between fiber distribution panels or connects network equipment in telecommunications closets. The riser rating makes it suitable for vertical runs between building floors in plenum spaces.
Data Center Interconnects
Connect SFP+ ports between top-of-rack switches and servers within the same rack or adjacent enclosures.
Network Infrastructure Patching
Link fiber panels to active equipment in telecommunications rooms, maintaining organized cable management with precise length matching.
Physical Profile
The cable features a distinctive aqua jacket that identifies it as OM4 multi-mode fiber, with beige LC connectors providing visual contrast. The Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) jacket material offers durability and fire resistance while maintaining flexibility. At approximately 1.60 ounces, the cable is lightweight yet robust enough for permanent installations.

User Manual
FAQ
What type of fiber connectors does this cable use?
This cable uses LC connectors on both ends, specifically LC Network - Male connectors. The LC form factor provides a compact, secure connection that is widely used in SFP, SFP+, and other fiber optic transceivers for data center and enterprise network equipment.
What does OM4 rating mean for this fiber cable?
OM4 is a multi-mode fiber optic standard that supports higher bandwidth over longer distances compared to OM3. This OM4-rated cable can handle 40G and 100G Ethernet applications at appropriate distances, making it suitable for modern high-speed network infrastructure requiring reliable optical performance.
Is this cable suitable for riser applications?
Yes, this cable features an OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) rated jacket, which meets fire safety standards for vertical installations between floors. The riser rating indicates the cable can be used in building riser spaces without conduit, provided local codes permit such installation.
What is the significance of the 50/125 µm specification?
The 50/125 µm specification refers to the core and cladding diameters of the multi-mode fiber. A 50-micron core with 125-micron cladding is the standard for modern multi-mode fiber optics, providing optimal balance between light-carrying capacity and compatibility with OM3/OM4 graded equipment and connectors.
What does UPC polishing mean for fiber connectors?
UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polishing creates a slightly curved end face on fiber connectors that improves physical contact between mating fibers. This reduces back reflection and insertion loss compared to standard PC polishing, resulting in better signal quality and more reliable optical connections in network applications.
What warranty coverage does this fiber patch cable include?
AddOn provides a 3 Year Lifetime limited warranty for this fiber patch cable. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use, offering assurance of product reliability for network installations where consistent performance is essential.
