Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary difference between OM3 and OM4 fiber?
OM4 fiber offers extended reach and higher bandwidth capabilities compared to OM3, specifically supporting 100GbE up to 150 meters, while OM3 typically supports it up to 100 meters. This makes OM4 ideal for larger data center deployments.
Can this OM4 cable be used with OM3 equipment?
Yes, OM4 fiber cables are backward compatible with OM3 equipment. However, the overall performance will be limited to the specifications of the OM3 component, meaning you won't achieve the full OM4 performance benefits.
What does 'LSZH Jacket' mean for my business?
An LSZH jacket is crucial for safety in data centers and public buildings. In the event of a fire, it emits minimal smoke and no halogen, reducing harm to personnel and preventing corrosion damage to expensive electronic equipment.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
No, this StarTech.com OM4 fiber cable is designed for indoor, controlled environments such as data centers, server rooms, and office buildings. It is not rated for outdoor exposure to elements like UV, moisture, or extreme temperatures.
