What customers say
Customers highly value this cable for its exceptional reliability and outstanding value in data center and enterprise upgrades. Users confirm it delivers guaranteed 400 Gigabit performance with very low insertion loss, ensuring strong signal integrity. The adoption of smaller CS-PC connectors is praised, especially for high-density SFP-DD and QSFP-DD transceiver environments. Reviewers frequently note the robust construction suggests excellent longevity in demanding infrastructure. While the jacket stiffness is occasionally mentioned as a minor routing challenge, the overall consensus is that this cable is a high-quality, future-proof investment. It meets rigorous standards while offering performance comparable to much pricier alternatives, making it a favorite among budget-conscious IT professionals.
Know before you buy
Yes, this OM4 fiber cable is fully backward compatible with 40Gb and 100Gb networks, making it a versatile choice for upgrading your infrastructure.
The CS connector is 40% smaller than a standard LC connector, which allows for higher port density and a better fit for modern QSFP-DD transceivers.
Yes, the cable features a Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen (LSZH) jacket, which is specifically designed to limit toxic smoke emissions in the event of a fire, making it safer for enclosed environments.
This cable is optimized to support 400G Ethernet applications at distances up to 100 meters.
The magenta color is the industry-standard identifier for OM4 multimode fiber, allowing you to quickly distinguish these high-performance cables from other fiber types in a crowded rack.
Not at all. The integrated push/pull tabs are designed to provide extra leverage, allowing for easy, one-handed installation and removal in tight, high-density spaces.
