Know before you buy
The stainless steel armor makes this cable ideal for demanding environments where it might be exposed to dust, oil, or moisture. It is specifically engineered for high-bandwidth settings like hyperscale data centers, cloud services, and telecom facilities.
Yes, this OM4-rated cable is fully backward compatible with 10Gb, 25Gb, and 40Gb networks, allowing you to upgrade your infrastructure while maintaining support for legacy hardware.
LSZH stands for Low-Smoke Zero-Halogen. This jacket material is designed to emit minimal toxic smoke in the event of a fire, making it a safer choice for poorly ventilated areas or enclosed spaces.
This specific cable is rated to support 100Gb speeds at distances up to 50 meters. While it may function at longer lengths, you will likely experience a drop in performance or speed beyond the 50-meter threshold.
While the stainless steel tubing provides significant protection, it is designed to remain flexible enough for standard routing in data centers. However, it is stiffer than a standard non-armored patch cable, so you should account for a slightly larger bend radius during installation.
