Slim Specs Table

Multi-Mode OM4 Performance for Short Runs

OM4 fibre supports higher bandwidth than OM3. It is designed for 10G, 40G, and 100G links over typical intra-rack and intra-floor distances. The 50 µm core and 125 µm cladding are standard for multi-mode systems. In practice, verify your transceivers support OM4 at 850 nm or 1300 nm.

LC Connectors for Dense Patching

LC connectors offer small form-factor and high port density. This cable uses male LC connectors on both ends. Confirm your patch panel or switch ports accept LC interfaces. Also check whether you need single-mode or multi-mode compatibility.

LSZH Jacket for Safer Installations

The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and halogen emissions during fire events. It is suitable for offices, data rooms, and occupied buildings. Cable diameter is 3 mm, which is common for structured cabling. However, always confirm your conduit or tray sizing before installation.

Aqua Colour for OM4 Identification

The aqua colour provides quick visual identification of OM4 fibre. This helps technicians avoid mixing OM3 and OM4 links. It also supports cable management in high-density racks. So, label runs where colour alone is not enough.

Verified Wavelengths and Loss Budgets

The cable supports 850 nm and 1300 nm wavelengths. Insertion loss is 0.3 dB, and return loss is 35 dB. These figures help you model link loss budgets. Therefore, confirm your SFP/SFP+ modules and link distances align with these values.
