Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between OM4 and other multimode fiber types?
OM4 multimode fiber is optimized for 100 Gigabit Ethernet applications and offers superior bandwidth compared to OM3. This OM4 50/125 µm cable supports longer distances at higher speeds, making it ideal for modern data center environments requiring 100G connectivity and future 400 Gbps scalability.
Is this 100G fiber optic cable backward compatible with existing networks?
Yes. The Eaton Tripp Lite 100G OM4 multimode cable is fully backward compatible with 10 Gb, 25 Gb, and 40 Gb Ethernet networks. This allows seamless integration into existing infrastructure while supporting higher-speed upgrades without requiring complete recabling.
Why is TAA compliance important for fiber optic cables?
TAA (Federal Trade Agreements Act) compliance is mandatory for government and GSA Schedule purchases. This TAA-compliant OM4 cable ensures your organization meets federal procurement requirements and qualifies for government contracts and purchasing programs.
What does OFNP plenum-rated mean for this MPO/MPO cable?
OFNP (Optical Fiber Non-Conductive Plenum) rating indicates the cable meets fire safety standards for installation in plenum spaces—areas above drop ceilings and in HVAC systems. This plenum-rated aqua jacket ensures compliance with building codes while providing superior fire protection compared to standard PVC cables.
