20m Fiber Optic LC to LC (UPC) OM4 Multimode Cable

Product Overview

This 20-meter OM4 LC to LC multimode fiber optic patch cable provides reliable connectivity for 40 and 100 Gigabit networks. The TIA-standardized Erika Violet jacket clearly identifies OM4 cables, ensuring distinct differentiation from Aqua OM3/OM4 cables in critical network installations. Its compact uniboot connector design facilitates easy insertion and removal in high-density installations. Built with laser-optimized multimode fiber (LOMMF), this OM4 fiber patch cable is ideal for 850 nm and 1350 nm VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) and LED sources. Precision-manufactured ceramic ferrules maintain accurate fiber alignment to prevent connection issues and minimize insertion loss. The polished LC to LC UPC fiber ends are engineered for reliability in high-density network applications, significantly improving return loss characteristics compared to older PC polishing techniques that can negatively impact performance. This riser-rated OM4 fiber cable, featuring a flame-retardant OFNR (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser) jacket, is designed to minimize vertical flame spread between building floors. It enables safer cable installations in riser spaces and vertical shafts in commercial buildings, helping to meet fire safety regulations in multi-story buildings and other regulated environments. This multimode 50/125 μm fiber optic patch cable is backward compatible with OM3 and 1/10/40 Gbps networks, facilitating reliable data transmission in older fiber environments. StarTech.com fiber cables undergo rigorous testing to confirm operation within strict optical insertion loss limits, ensuring compatibility and 100% reliability.

Usage

• Use in 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet and Fiber Channel applications
• Supports VCSEL laser and LED light sources
• OFNR riser-rated for safe and compliant cable installations in vertical shafts and riser spaces within buildings

Features

• ERI Erika Violet OM4: OM4 multimode fiber cable is immune to EMI and supports up to 100 Gbps. The Erika Violet jacket is TIA-standardized for OM4, avoiding OM3/OM4 confusion with Aqua cables. Compact uniboot design improves airflow and access in tight installations.
• QUALITY CONSTRUCTION: LC/LC connectors with UPC polished ends significantly improve return loss compared to PC polishing. Robust molded strain relief minimizes wear from bending. Protective Aramid fiber for increased tensile strength.
• SAFETY AND RELIABILITY: Each cable is individually tested for guaranteed OM4 performance and includes a test report. OFNR-rated cable jacket for riser applications minimizes flame spread between floors in riser spaces. Attenuation value of 3 dB/km meets TIA standards.
• BROAD COMPATIBILITY: Supports 1/10/40/100 Gbps full duplex transmission. Backward compatible with OM3. For high-density network applications, such as SANs, data servers, fiber switches, and LC-based SFP/SFP+ transceivers.
