Slim Specs Table

Optimised for OM4 Bandwidth and Distance

This OM4 cable supports 850 nm and 1300 nm wavelengths for flexible deployment. Because it is OM4, it offers higher bandwidth over OM3 for the same distance. In practice, this helps future-proof your 10G/40G links in racks. Also, the 50 µm core is standard for multi-mode performance. So, verify your transceivers match these wavelengths before purchase. The aqua colour aids quick identification during maintenance.

LC Connectors for High-Density Racking

LC connectors provide a small form factor for dense patch panels. Because the connectors are male, they plug directly into LC ports. Also, the 20 m length suits rack-to-rack or floor runs. In practice, this reduces cable clutter in UK data centres. So, confirm your equipment has LC ports before buying. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke in the event of fire.

Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) Jacket

The LSZH jacket limits toxic emissions during combustion. Because this is a UK-focused product, verify building compliance for your site. Also, the 3 mm cable diameter is compact for cable trays. In practice, LSZH is preferred for enclosed spaces. So, confirm your installation follows local fire safety rules. The aqua colour supports quick OM4 identification.
