Frequently Asked Questions
What is an OM4 multimode fiber optic cable used for?
OM4 multimode fiber optic cables are designed for high-speed data center and enterprise networking applications. The 100G multimode OM4 cable supports 40/100 GbE Ethernet connections and is ideal for short-to-medium distance runs in wiring closets, telecom rooms, and data center environments where bandwidth and reliability are critical.
What does MPO/MPO-PC connector mean?
MPO (Multi-fiber Push-On) connectors are high-density fiber optic connectors that accommodate multiple fibers in a single connector. The PC (Physical Contact) designation indicates the connector has a curved polished end face for optimal signal transmission. The 12F MPO/MPO-PC configuration in this cable supports 12 individual fibers for parallel transmission.
Is this 100G fiber optic cable TAA compliant?
Yes, the N845A-05M-12TAA is fully TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant, making it eligible for GSA Schedule contracts and federal government procurement. This compliance ensures the product meets all required standards for government and institutional purchasing.
What is Type-A polarity in fiber optic cables?
Type-A polarity is a straight-through connector configuration where fiber positions are aligned identically on both ends of the cable. This ensures consistent signal transmission and is the standard polarity for most data center and enterprise networking applications using MPO connectors.
