Customized Ultra Low Loss Simplex Fiber Patch Cable, LC/SC/FC/ST, OM4

This product is best evaluated as part of the complete network path, including its connectors, mapping and acceptance values. This made-to-order fiber patch cable is built to the exact configuration the project specifies: connector styles, polish, fiber mode, jacket and length are all selected at order time and the completed product is factory terminated and optically tested before dispatch.

• Available in Riser (OFNR), LSZH, and Plenum (OFNP) Cable Jackets

The made-to-order program covers the combinations that stock lists cannot: mixed connector families, non-standard jackets, unusual lengths, labelling and packing to the project specification. The completed product is terminated and tested exactly like a stock product, with the configuration confirmed before the build starts.

This OM4 assembly serves the short-reach fabric of the data center: 10G and 25G server uplinks, 40G and 100G SR4 spine links and the inter-row runs between them. On OM4 glass, 10G Ethernet holds to 400 meters and 100G SR4 to 100 meters, which covers the overwhelming majority of in-hall routes with margin to spare. Retaining this detail with the acceptance records supports consistent maintenance.

OM4 raises the effective modal bandwidth to 4700 MHz·km at 850nm, and that headroom translates directly into reach for the higher-speed interfaces. The price difference against OM3 has largely disappeared, which means new cabling plants standardize on OM4 and keep OM3 only for matching established installations.

Stock length choices cover the common patching routes: 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 10m (33ft), 15m (49ft), 20m (66ft), 30m (98ft), with made-to-order length available beyond the list. Specifying the measured route length keeps the slack out of the manager and the strain off the connector interfaces.

Every cable assembly is terminated with precision zirconia ferrule connectors and optically tested before packing: insertion loss and return loss are verified on every cable, and end-face geometry is inspected for consistent physical contact. The cable assembly ships with dust caps on the two connectors and the test result available on request.

Refer to this configuration by connector pair, fiber mode and length at the request stage a quotation. For configurations outside the listed options, mixed connector families, jackets, labelling or project packing, send the requirement with the enquiry and the factory will establish the build before the build starts. For orders, our team can check the requirement before coordinating manufacture and international delivery.
