Frequently Asked Questions
What is OM4 fiber and how does it differ from OM3?
OM4 is a laser-optimized multimode fiber designed for 10 Gbps, 40 Gbps, and 100 Gbps Ethernet, offering longer reach than OM3. For 100 Gbps, OM4 supports distances up to 150 meters, while OM3 is typically limited to 100 meters.
Can this cable be used with 10 Gigabit Ethernet equipment?
Yes, this OM4 fiber cable is backward compatible and fully supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) connections. It provides future-proofing for network upgrades to 40 Gbps or 100 Gbps.
What are the benefits of an LSZH jacket?
An LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket significantly reduces the emission of toxic and corrosive gases during a fire. This is crucial for safety in enclosed spaces like data centers, protecting both personnel and expensive electronic equipment from damage.
What type of connectors does this cable use?
This cable features LC to LC-UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) connectors. These small form-factor connectors are widely used in high-density fiber optic patching and ensure low insertion loss for optimal signal integrity.
