Product Features
Technical Overview
This OM4 multimode fiber optic cable utilizes a 50/125 µm core/cladding specification and is laser-optimized for reliable performance with LED and VCSEL sources at 850nm and 1300nm wavelengths. It offers a modal bandwidth of 2000 MHz/km at 850nm, ensuring low signal attenuation and high data integrity over its length.
The cable incorporates UPC polished LC connectors, which provide superior return loss compared to PC polish, minimizing signal reflection. Built with robust strain reliefs and protective Aramid yarn, it withstands bending and tensile stress in demanding installations. Each cable is individually tested and includes a performance test report to guarantee OM4 compliance.
Key Product Advantages
The uniboot connector design consolidates two LC connectors into a single, compact housing, simplifying cable management and reducing clutter in tight spaces. This feature enhances airflow around network equipment and allows for easier access during maintenance or reconfiguration.
TIA-Standardized Color Coding
The Erika Violet jacket color is specifically designated for OM4 fiber, providing immediate visual identification and preventing mix-ups with aqua-colored OM3 cables in complex network infrastructures.
- Reduces installation errors
- Simplifies inventory management
- Ensures compliance with industry standards
Enhanced Durability and Safety
Constructed with an OFNR riser-rated PVC jacket, this cable minimizes flame spread between floors in vertical riser applications. The integrated strain reliefs and EMI shielding protect against physical damage and electromagnetic interference.

FAQ
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported by this cable?
This OM4 multimode fiber optic cable supports data transfer rates up to 100 Gbps full duplex. It is also compatible with lower speeds including 1, 10, and 40 Gbps, making it suitable for a wide range of network applications from legacy systems to high-performance data centers.
What does the Erika Violet jacket color indicate?
The Erika Violet jacket is TIA-standardized for OM4 fiber optic cables. This color coding helps prevent confusion with aqua-colored OM3 cables, ensuring correct cable selection and installation in mixed-fiber environments, which reduces errors and simplifies network management.
What are the benefits of the uniboot connector design?
The uniboot design consolidates two LC connectors into a single, compact housing. This reduces cable bulk, improves airflow around network equipment, and allows for easier access in dense installations. It simplifies cable management and helps maintain organized, efficient rack layouts.
Is this cable backward compatible with OM3 fiber?
Yes, this OM4 cable is fully backward compatible with OM3 fiber standards. You can use it in networks that currently utilize OM3 infrastructure, providing a seamless upgrade path to higher speeds and future-proofing your investment without requiring immediate replacement of existing components.
What does the OFNR riser rating mean for installation?
OFNR stands for Optical Fiber Non-Conductive Riser. This rating indicates the cable jacket is designed to minimize flame spread between floors in vertical riser spaces. It meets safety standards for installations in building shafts or plenums, making it suitable for commercial and enterprise environments.
What is included with the cable purchase?
Each cable comes with an individual test report that verifies OM4 performance specifications. The lifetime warranty provides long-term assurance of quality and reliability.
