StarTech.com 5m (16.4ft) LC to LC (UPC) OM4 Switchable Fiber Optic Cable 50/125, 100G, Toolless Polarity Switching, LSZH Fiber Jumper Cord

LC/UPC to LC/UPC OM4 Multimode Switchable Fiber Optic Cable enables 40/100G network connections. The retractable strain-relief housings enable toolless in-field polarity swapping. Color-coded LC-Duplex connectors ensure error-free polarity configuration.

Engineered for Optimal Performance

Precision-manufactured ceramic ferrules ensure accurate fiber alignment to prevent connectivity issues and minimize insertion loss. Designed for reliability in high-density network applications, the LC to LC UPC polished fiber ends greatly improves return loss characteristics. The Laser-Optimized Multi-Mode Fiber (LOMMF) OM4 fiber patch cable is ideal for 850nm and 1300nm Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser (VCSEL) and LED sources.

Compatibility

This multimode 50/125µm fiber optic patch cord is backward compatible with OM3 and 1/10/40G networks, ensuring a reliable connection in legacy fiber environments.

LSZH Cable Jacket

Housed in a LSZH (Low-Smoke, Zero-Halogen) flame-retardant jacket, this OM4 fiber cable emits low smoke and toxic fumes when exposed to extreme heat or in the event of a fire. This enables safer cable installations in areas with poor ventilation including some industrial settings, self-contained environments such as trains and aircraft, as well as residential settings where compliance with building codes must be considered.

Each OM4 fiber cable is also individually tested for insertion loss performance that meets or exceeds the TIA/EIA-568 industry standard, for guaranteed compatibility and 100% reliability.
