Know before you buy
The magenta color is the industry-standard identifier for OM4 multimode fiber. It allows IT professionals to quickly distinguish this cable from OM3 (aqua) or single-mode (yellow) cables within a crowded server rack.
Yes, this cable is fully backward compatible with 10G and 25G networks. It is designed to support your current infrastructure while providing the headroom needed for future 100G or 400G upgrades.
The LSZH jacket is designed to limit the release of toxic smoke and corrosive gases in the event of a fire. This makes it a safer choice for enclosed spaces or environments with strict building code requirements.
This specific model features female MTP/MPO-PC connectors on both ends. Please ensure your transceivers or patch panels are compatible with female connectors before installation.
While this specific cable is 2 meters long, the OM4 fiber standard supports 100G Ethernet applications at distances up to 100 meters. This cable is intended for short-range patching within a rack or between adjacent cabinets.
