Black Box FOM4-020M-LCLC OM4 Multimode Fiber Optic Patch Cable
Overview
The Black Box FOM4-020M-LCLC is an OM4 multimode fiber optic patch cable designed for high-bandwidth, short-distance data center and enterprise network applications. Its 50/125 micron core and cladding support 10, 40, and 100 Gigabit Ethernet speeds, making it suitable for connecting switches, servers, and storage devices where data throughput is critical. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket minimizes toxic fumes in case of fire, a key consideration for enclosed spaces and compliance requirements.
Compatibility
This cable utilizes LC connectors, which are standard for high-density fiber optic networking. It is compatible with any network equipment, transceivers (like SFP+, QSFP+, QSFP28), and patch panels that feature LC duplex ports. Specifically, it supports 10GbE, 40GbE, and 100GbE connections common in modern data center switches and server NICs. The OM4 rating ensures performance for these higher speeds over distances up to 100 meters for 100GbE, 150 meters for 40GbE, and 450 meters for 10GbE.
Installation Notes
Ensure a clean environment during installation to prevent dust or debris from contaminating the fiber end-faces, which can degrade performance or damage equipment. Avoid sharp bends (minimum bend radius is 20mm for OM4 fiber) to prevent signal loss or cable damage. The LC connectors are push-pull latching, providing a secure connection.
