Add-On ADD-AMPOMPO-5M5OM4 5M MPO/APC to MPO/UPC Aqua OM4 OFNR (Riser-Rated) 12-Strand Fiber Patch Cable

Overview

The Add-On ADD-AMPOMPO-5M5OM4 is a 5-meter, 12-strand fiber optic patch cable designed for high-density data center and enterprise network applications. It features MPO/APC (angled polish) connectors on one end and MPO/UPC (flat polish) connectors on the other, facilitating specific connection requirements within structured cabling systems. The aqua-colored, OFNR (riser-rated) jacket ensures compliance with building codes for vertical runs, providing a reliable link for 40GbE and 100GbE Ethernet applications.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with network equipment utilizing MPO/APC and MPO/UPC interfaces, common in high-speed transceivers such as QSFP+, QSFP28, and similar modules. It is suitable for use with any brand of network switch, server, or optical transponder that supports MPO connectivity for backbone or trunking applications. The OM4 rating ensures performance for 40GBASE-SR4, 100GBASE-SR4, and 100GBASE-SR10 standards over its 5-meter length.

Installation Notes

When connecting MPO/APC connectors, ensure the connector face is clean and free of debris to prevent signal degradation. The angled polish of the APC connector is critical for minimizing back reflection, especially in high-speed optical networks. Verify that the receiving port matches the connector type (APC or UPC) to avoid damage and ensure optimal signal integrity. The riser-rated jacket is suitable for in-wall and between-floor installations but should not be used in plenum spaces without appropriate fire-stopping measures.
