StarTech.com 5m (16ft) LC to LC OM4 Multimode Fiber Optic Patch Cable - Erika Violet, 50/125, 100Gbps, Riser Rated

StarTech.com 5m (16ft) LC to LC (UPC) OM4 Multimode Fiber Optic Cable, Erika Violet, 50/125, 100G, Uniboot Fiber Jumper Cord, OFNR Riser

The StarTech.com OM4 LC to LC duplex fiber optic patch cable provides reliable high-speed connectivity for demanding network environments. Designed for 40 and 100 Gigabit networks, this fiber optic cable utilizes laser-optimized multimode fiber (LOMMF) with a durable Erika Violet jacket that meets TIA standards, making it easy to distinguish from OM3 and OM4 Aqua cables. Its compact uniboot connector design allows for effortless insertion and removal in high-density installations, optimizing airflow and simplifying cable management.
Built with precision-manufactured ceramic ferrules and UPC polished fiber ends, this cable significantly enhances return loss performance over older PC polished connectors. It supports 850 nm and 1350 nm VCSEL and LED sources, ensuring compatibility across a broad range of legacy and modern fiber optic equipment. The robust construction includes molded strain reliefs and Aramid yarn for increased tensile strength, making it suitable for demanding installation scenarios. The cable’s OFNR riser-rated jacket offers fire safety compliance by minimizing flame spread between floors, ideal for vertical applications in commercial buildings.
Supporting data transfer rates up to 100 Gbps in full duplex mode, this fiber optic patch cable is backward compatible with OM3 networks. It is well-suited for high-density environments such as SANs, data servers, fiber switches, and LC-based transceivers. Each cable undergoes rigorous testing to verify OM4 performance, with a guaranteed attenuation of 3dB/km in line with TIA standards. The 16.4-foot (5-meter) length provides flexibility for various installation layouts, and its purple Erika Violet color ensures easy identification within complex network setups.
Engineered by StarTech.com, this fiber patch cable combines durability, safety, and high performance, making it an ideal choice for commercial and enterprise network infrastructures seeking reliable, high-speed fiber connectivity.
