Fiber Cables Direct FCDUS464V12007 OM4 LC-LC Fiber Patch Cable

Overview

The Fiber Cables Direct FCDUS464V12007 is a 6-meter, duplex, OM4 multimode fiber optic patch cable. It features LC connectors on both ends and is plenum-rated, making it suitable for installation in air-handling spaces within commercial buildings. This cable is designed to support 100 Gigabit Ethernet (100GBASE-SR4 and similar standards) and other high-speed data transmission requirements, ensuring reliable connectivity for demanding network infrastructure. Its TAA compliance means it meets government procurement requirements for products manufactured in the United States or designated TAA countries.

Compatibility

This FCDUS464V12007 cable is compatible with any network equipment, transceivers, or patch panels that utilize LC duplex connectors and require OM4 multimode fiber specifications. This includes, but is not limited to, 100GbE QSFP28 transceivers, 40GbE QSFP+ transceivers, and various SFP/SFP+ modules used in enterprise switches, routers, and servers. It is suitable for use with network devices from major manufacturers requiring high-bandwidth, short-reach optical interconnects.

Installation Notes

The plenum rating (CMP) indicates this cable can be installed in air-handling plenums without violating building codes, offering a safer installation in commercial environments compared to non-plenum rated cables. Ensure proper connector mating to avoid signal degradation. The minimum bend radius for OM4 fiber is 7.5mm (0.3 inches) when not under tension, and 15mm (0.6 inches) when under tension. Avoid sharp bends or kinks to maintain signal integrity and prevent damage.
