MPO/MPO OM4 Duplex Patch Cable

This 16.4 ft aqua cable uses male MPO connectors on both ends for duplex fibre links. It is built with 12 coloured 0.9 mm fibres rated for OM4 multi-mode performance. Each assembly is 100 percent optically tested for insertion loss before shipment. The duplex design supports standard transmit and receive channel pairs.

Suits 40Gig breakout modules

Installers who need a pre-terminated MPO-to-MPO link for plug-and-play cassette modules will use this cable. Buyers who require LC, SC or other connector types on either end cannot use this assembly. It also does not serve single-mode or OM3-only infrastructure.

12-fibre OM4 multi-mode construction

The cable contains 12 fibres with a 50/125 micron core/cladding diameter built to OM4 specifications. This fibre count and grade determine compatibility with 40Gig parallel optics and high-bandwidth multi-mode runs.

Questions about this item

Does the 16.4 ft aqua duplex cable generate any heat or noise when carrying 40Gig traffic all day?

The passive fiber assembly has no active components, so it produces no heat or audible noise regardless of how long it runs at 40Gig speeds.

What equipment must I already have to use the male MPO connectors with pins on this 12-fiber patch cable?

You need cassette modules or patch panels with female MPO ports that accept pinned connectors, plus 50/125 multi-mode OM3 LC interfaces for the breakout side.

Will this 2017-vintage OM4 aqua cable work alongside older OM3 50/125 multi-mode links in the same rack?

Yes, the OM4 cable is fully backward-compatible with existing OM3 50/125 multi-mode infrastructure and will interoperate at the lower OM3 bandwidth.
