Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic cable meets TIA-492AAAD OM4 standards with a modal bandwidth of 2000 MHz/km at 850nm and attenuation of 3 dB/km. The UPC polished connectors provide superior return loss compared to PC polish, ensuring reliable signal integrity for high-speed applications.
The cable construction includes protective Aramid yarn for increased tensile strength and EMI protection for immunity to electromagnetic interference. The OFNR riser-rated PVC jacket minimizes flame spread between floors, making it suitable for vertical riser installations in commercial buildings.
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 cable combines high-density compatibility with reliable performance for modern data center and enterprise network deployments. The uniboot connector design consolidates two LC connectors into a single housing, reducing cable clutter and improving management in tight spaces.
Standardized Color Coding
The Erika Violet jacket follows TIA-598-D standards for OM4 fiber, providing immediate visual identification that distinguishes it from OM3 aqua cables. This prevents installation errors and simplifies cable management in heterogeneous fiber environments.
- TIA-standardized OM4 color
- Prevents OM3/OM4 confusion
- Simplifies inventory management
Enhanced Durability
Molded strain reliefs at connector junctions protect against repetitive bending stress, while the Aramid yarn reinforcement provides exceptional tensile strength. These features extend cable lifespan in frequently reconfigured installations.
- Molded strain relief
- Aramid yarn reinforcement
- Wear resistant construction
Deployment / Use Cases
This OM4 fiber optic cable is ideal for high-bandwidth connections between network equipment in data centers, enterprise networks, and storage area networks. It supports full-duplex transmission at 1, 10, 40, and 100 Gbps speeds, making it suitable for current and future network upgrades.
Common applications include connecting fiber switches to servers, linking SAN equipment, patching between transceivers in network racks, and establishing backbone connections in commercial buildings. The backward compatibility with OM3 fiber allows seamless integration into existing infrastructure while providing headroom for higher-speed migrations.
Data Center Interconnects
Connect SFP/SFP+/QSFP transceivers in high-density switch configurations. The uniboot design improves airflow between equipment and allows easier access to ports in crowded racks.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported by this fiber optic cable?
This OM4 multimode fiber optic cable supports data transfer rates up to 100 Gbps in full-duplex mode. It is also backward compatible with lower-speed applications including 1, 10, and 40 Gbps transmission, making it suitable for both current network requirements and future upgrades.
What does the Erika Violet jacket color indicate?
The Erika Violet jacket color follows TIA-598-D standards for OM4 multimode fiber optic cables. This standardized color coding helps distinguish OM4 cables from OM3 cables (which typically use aqua jackets), preventing installation errors and simplifying cable management in environments with mixed fiber categories.
What is the advantage of uniboot LC connectors?
Uniboot LC connectors combine two LC connectors into a single housing, reducing the overall width by approximately 50% compared to traditional duplex LC connectors. This compact design improves airflow in densely populated network racks, allows easier access to adjacent ports, and reduces cable clutter for better cable management.
Can this cable be used in vertical riser applications?
Yes, this cable features an OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) rated jacket that meets flame spread requirements for vertical installations between floors in commercial buildings. The riser rating makes it suitable for use in plenum spaces and vertical shafts where fire safety regulations apply.
What devices are compatible with this LC to LC fiber cable?
This cable is compatible with any network equipment featuring LC fiber interfaces, including switches, servers, transceivers, and storage devices. It works with SFP, SFP+, QSFP, and other LC-based optical modules supporting multimode fiber. The cable is designed for high-density network applications such as SANs, data centers, and enterprise network backbones.
What quality assurance measures are included with this cable?
Each StarTech.com OM4RLCLC40M cable undergoes individual testing to verify it meets OM4 performance specifications. The cable ships with a test report documenting its optical characteristics. Additionally, the product carries a lifetime warranty, ensuring long-term reliability and performance in commercial installations.
