Frequently Asked Questions
What is OM4 multimode fiber and why does it matter?
OM4 multimode fiber is a high-performance fiber grade optimized for short-to-medium distance, high-bandwidth applications. It supports 100G Ethernet over distances up to 150 meters, making it ideal for data center interconnects and enterprise backbone networks where cost-effectiveness and speed are critical.
Can I use this 100G fiber optic cable in my existing network infrastructure?
Yes, the N845A is designed for seamless integration into standard enterprise networking environments. The Type-A polarity and MPO connectors are industry-standard, ensuring compatibility with most modern data center equipment and patch panels. Verify your existing infrastructure supports MPO connectors before installation.
What does TAA compliance mean for this multimode fiber cable?
TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance means this 100G multimode cable meets U.S. government procurement standards and can be used in federal projects and regulated industries. It ensures the product meets specific manufacturing and sourcing requirements.
Is the 2-meter length suitable for my data center setup?
The 2-meter length is ideal for short-run connections within equipment racks, between patch panels, and in high-density wiring closets. If you need longer distances, consider multiple cables or consult your network architect for optimal topology design.
