Purpose-built patch lead

This aqua-coloured duplex multimode fibre patch cable connects LC duplex transceivers in 40 and 100 Gigabit Ethernet or Fibre Channel links. It is intended for network engineers and data-centre technicians who need a ready-made 16.40 ft jumper for high-speed backbone or switch-to-switch runs.

OM4 50/125 core specification

The single decisive spec is the OM4 (50/125) 3500 MHz laser-optimised multimode fibre, which supports 850 nm VCSEL sources and meets attenuation targets for 40GBase-SR4 and 100GBase-SR10. If your link budget or transceiver datasheet calls for OM3 or single-mode glass, this cable will not satisfy the reach or loss requirements.

Straightforward LC duplex mating

Both ends carry pre-polished LC duplex male ferrules that snap into standard SFP+ or QSFP+ module ports without tools. The main installation risk is contaminating the end-faces; always inspect and clean with a fibre scope and lint-free wipes before seating, and avoid tight bends that exceed the cable’s minimum bend radius.

Questions about this item

How far can the 100 Gb rating actually reach with this cable?

The OM4 multimode fiber supports 100 Gb speeds up to 100 metres, so the 16.40 ft length is well within that limit.

What does the OM4 3500 MHz·km figure mean for real-world bandwidth?

It certifies the 50/125 fibre for 100 Gb Ethernet and Fibre Channel links at 850 nm, with headroom for 40 Gb runs beyond 100 metres.

Will the LC duplex connectors fit standard SFP+ and QSFP+ transceiver ports?

Yes, each end terminates in an LC duplex male connector that mates directly with SFP+ and QSFP+ transceivers used in 40 and 100 Gb equipment.
