Overview
This OM4 LC to LC Multimode Duplex Fiber Optic Patch cable delivers reliable connectivity across 40 and 100 Gigabit networks. The TIA-standard Erika Violet jacket clearly distinguishes OM4 from Aqua OM3/OM4 cabling, eliminating guesswork in critical network setups. The compact uniboot connector design enables easy insertion and removal in high-density installations. Built with laser-optimized multimode fiber (LOMMF), the OM4 fiber patch cable is ideal for 850 nm and 1350 nm Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) and LED sources. Precision-manufactured ceramic ferrules maintain accurate fiber alignment to prevent connectivity issues and minimize insertion loss. Designed for reliability in high-density network applications, the LC to LC UPC polished fiber ends greatly improves return loss characteristics over older PC polishing techniques which may negatively affect performance.
Technical Features
- Erika Violet OM4: OM4 multimode fiber cable immune to EMI; supports up to 100Gbps; Erika Violet jacket is TIA-standardized for OM4, avoiding OM3/OM4 confusion with Aqua cables; compact uniboot design enhances airflow & access in dense installations
- Quality Construction: LC/LC connectors with UPC polished ends improve return loss over PC polish; robust molded strain reliefs minimize wear from bending; protective Aramid yarn increases tensile strength
- Safety and Reliability: Each cable individually tested for guaranteed OM4 performance with test report; OFNR riser-rated jacket minimizes flame spread between floors; attenuation value of 3dB/km meets TIA standards
- Wide Compatibility: Supports 1/10/40/100 Gbps full duplex transmission; backward compatible with OM3; ideal for high-density network applications such as SANs, data servers, fiber switches, and LC-based SFP/SFP+ transceivers
