Know before you buy
Yes. This cable features a plenum-rated (CMP) jacket, which meets strict fire safety standards for installation in air-handling spaces like drop ceilings and raised floors.
The female MTP/MPO connectors feature alignment holes rather than pins. This means they are designed to connect directly to male transceivers or patch panels that have alignment pins.
Absolutely. The integrated tabs allow you to disconnect the cable by pulling on the tab itself, which is much easier than trying to reach the connector housing in crowded, high-density environments.
Yes, this OM4 multimode cable is specifically engineered to support 40GBASE-SR4 and 100GBASE-SR4 Ethernet applications, ensuring the high bandwidth required for those standards.
The magenta jacket is the industry-standard color coding for OM4 multimode fiber. It allows IT technicians to quickly distinguish this high-performance cable from standard OM3 (aqua) or single-mode (yellow) cables in a busy data center.
