Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between OM4 and OM3 fiber patch cables?
OM4 multimode fiber offers superior bandwidth and distance capabilities compared to OM3. While both support 10 Gigabit Ethernet, OM4 reaches 550 meters versus OM3's 300 meters. OM4 also supports 100 Gigabit Ethernet up to 150 meters, making it future-proof for high-speed network upgrades. This OM4 duplex patch cable is backward compatible with OM3 systems, allowing seamless integration into existing infrastructure.
Why choose OFNR-rated fiber patch cables for data center installations?
OFNR (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser) rating ensures the cable meets fire safety codes required for vertical runs and interior building applications. This riser-rated patch cable prevents flame spread and smoke generation in case of fire, protecting both equipment and personnel. It's essential for compliance in commercial data centers, server rooms, and enterprise network environments.
Is this ST to SC patch cable suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks?
Yes, the AddOn ST to SC OM4 patch cable fully supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity up to 550 meters. The OM4 multimode fiber core and duplex configuration provide the bandwidth and signal integrity needed for high-speed data transmission. It's ideal for connecting servers, switches, and network equipment in modern enterprise environments.
What does the green jacket indicate on this fiber patch cable?
The green jacket serves as a color-coded identifier for easy cable management and organization in complex network installations. Color-coding helps technicians quickly identify cable types and destinations, reducing installation errors and simplifying troubleshooting. This 5-meter green patch cable integrates seamlessly into organized cable management systems.
