Product Information

Full details

The kenable 007253 OM4 fibre optic cable is designed for IT professionals and network administrators who require reliable, high-speed data transmission over longer distances. It provides superior bandwidth performance compared to standard OM3 cabling, making it an excellent choice for demanding high-performance networking environments; however, users should ensure their existing SFP transceivers are compatible with LC-style connectors before installation.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this cable compatible with OM3 equipment?

Yes, OM4 is backward compatible with OM3 systems, provided the LC connectors match your transceiver requirements.

What does LSZH mean?

LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen, which means the cable jacket is designed to emit minimal smoke and no toxic halogens in the event of fire.

Can I use this for long-distance outdoor runs?

No, this cable is intended for indoor use and lacks the environmental shielding required for outdoor deployment.

Does this cable support 10Gbps speeds?

Yes, OM4 fibre is rated to support 10Gbps and higher data rates over the specified distance.

What is the core diameter of this fibre?

The core diameter is 50 microm, with a cladding diameter of 125 microm.

Troubleshooting

No link detected on network equipment

Verify that the cable is firmly seated in the transceiver and confirm the Tx/Rx polarity is correctly configured.

High bit-error rate or intermittent signal loss

Inspect the LC connector tips for dirt or scratches and clean them using an appropriate optical cleaning tool.

Physical signal drop after maintenance

Check for excessive tension on the cable or sharp bends that may be stressing the internal fibre glass.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Higher bandwidth capacity compared to older OM3 cables
  • LSZH jacket material enhances safety in enclosed environments
  • Reliable full-duplex data transmission
  • 10-meter length provides flexibility for server rack layouts

Cons

  • Restricted to LC-to-LC hardware interfaces
  • Fibre optic strands require careful handling to avoid breakage
  • Not intended for outdoor use

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install this cable, gently remove the protective dust caps from the LC connectors and plug them into your compatible fibre optic transceivers until they click into place.

  • Compatibility: Compatible with SFP/SFP+ modules that support LC-style multi-mode fiber connections.
  • Bending Radius: Avoid bending the cable sharply. Fibre optic glass is brittle and can suffer from micro-fractures if the radius is too tight.
  • Cleaning: Always inspect the LC connector faces for dust or contaminants before insertion. Use an approved fibre optic cleaner if signal loss is detected.
  • Storage: When not in use, replace the dust caps immediately to prevent debris from settling on the polished end-faces.
