Distinctive Erika Violet Jacket for Easy Identification
This fiber optic cable features an Erika Violet jacket that complies with TIA standards, clearly differentiating OM4 cables from other multimode fiber types like Aqua OM3. This helps to prevent installation errors and simplifies network management by making cable identification straightforward in complex setups.
High-performance Multimode Fiber Optimized for 40G and 100G Networks
Utilizing laser-optimized multimode fiber (LOMMF), the cable supports high-speed data transmissions ideal for 850 nm and 1300 nm wavelengths. With a 50µm core and 125µm cladding, it delivers reliable performance for Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) and LED sources.
Compact Uniboot Connector Design for High-density Installations
The uniboot LC connectors are designed for easy insertion and removal in dense network environments, saving space and reducing clutter while improving manageability. The UPC polished fiber ends reduce return loss and enhance signal quality over older PC polish types.
OFNR Riser Rated Jacket for Fire Safety Compliance
Housed in a flame-retardant OFNR (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser) jacket, this cable minimizes vertical flame propagation between floors. This rating allows safe installation in riser shafts and vertical shafts of commercial buildings, supporting compliance with fire codes.
Broad Network Compatibility and Tested Reliability
This 50/125µm multimode patch cord is backward compatible with OM3 and legacy networks operating at 1, 10, and 40 Gbps. StarTech.com rigorously tests these cables to meet strict optical insertion loss limits, ensuring consistent performance and reliability.
