This StarTech.com 5m LC to LC OM4 multimode fiber optic cable is designed for high-density network applications, offering reliable 100Gb/s Ethernet connections. Its key benefit lies in the push-pull tabs for easy installation and removal, alongside a LSZH jacket for safety. A minor consideration is that OM4 is optimized for specific wavelengths, so ensure compatibility with your network equipment.

OM4 fiber optic cable offers higher bandwidth and supports longer distances for multimode applications compared to older standards like OM1, OM2, and OM3. It is particularly optimized for 100Gb/s Ethernet connections.
LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen. This means that in the event of a fire, the cable jacket produces minimal smoke and no toxic halogens, making it safer for installation in enclosed spaces or areas with limited ventilation.
Yes, OM4 fiber optic cable is backward compatible with OM3 equipment and networks. However, the maximum speed and performance will be limited by the capabilities of the OM3 device.
The push-pull tabs are designed for easy and secure connection and disconnection of the LC connectors, especially in high-density environments where access can be challenging. They facilitate quick installation and removal without tools.
This OM4 multimode fiber optic cable supports data transfer rates up to 100 Gbit/s.
The cable features a 50µm core diameter and a 125µm cladding diameter.
No, this is a multimode fiber optic cable (OM4) and is designed for use with multimode transceivers and equipment. It cannot be used for single-mode applications.
Ensure both LC connectors are fully seated in their ports. Check that the fiber ports on both devices are clean. Verify that the cable is not severely kinked or damaged. Confirm that the connected devices are configured to use the correct fiber type and speed.
Check the cable's integrity for any signs of damage. Ensure the connected equipment supports 100Gb/s. Test with a shorter or different known-good OM4 cable to isolate the issue. Verify that both ends of the cable are connected to compatible ports.
Ensure you are using the push-pull tabs correctly. Do not force the connection; check for obstructions or damage on the connector or port. If removal is difficult, ensure the locking mechanism of the tab is fully engaged before pulling.
Setup: Simply connect one LC connector to the appropriate port on your network device (e.g., switch, server NIC) and the other LC connector to its corresponding port. Ensure a firm, audible click to confirm connection. The push-pull tabs allow for easy insertion and removal.
Compatibility: This OM4 cable is compatible with other OM4 equipment and is backward compatible with OM3 and legacy 1/10/40G multimode fiber networks. It uses standard LC connectors, ensuring broad compatibility with most network hardware featuring LC ports. Ensure your network devices support 850nm or 1300nm wavelengths.
Care: Avoid kinking or excessively bending the cable beyond its specified bending radius (6 cm). Keep the connector end caps on when not in use to protect the ferrule from dust and damage. Clean connectors only with approved fiber optic cleaning tools and solutions if necessary. Store the cable away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
