Customized Ultra Low Loss Simplex Fiber Patch Cable, LC/SC/FC/ST, OM4

Projects in the Philippines benefit from keeping the configuration, branch identification and installation requirement consistent across every participating site. This customized fiber patch cable is built to the particular design the project specifies: connector styles, polish, fiber mode, jacket and length are all chosen at order time and the factory-built assembly is factory terminated and optically tested before dispatch.

Specifications

Built to the order

The customized program covers the combinations that stock lists cannot: mixed connector families, non-standard jackets, unusual lengths, labeling and packaging to the project specification. The factory-built assembly is terminated and tested exactly like a stock product, with the design confirmed before release to production.

Multimode reach for the data hall

This OM4 item serves the short-reach fabric of the data center: 10G and 25G server uplinks, 40G and 100G SR4 spine links and the inter-row runs between them. On OM4 glass, 10G Ethernet holds to 400 meters and 100G SR4 to 100 meters, which covers the overwhelming majority of in-hall routes with margin to spare.

Why OM4 replaced OM3 in new builds

OM4 raises the effective modal bandwidth to 4700 MHz·km at 850nm, and that headroom translates directly into reach for the higher-speed interfaces. The price difference against OM3 has largely disappeared; as a result, new cabling plants standardize on OM4 and keep OM3 only for matching existing installations.

Length Options

Standard size options cover the common patching routes: 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 10m (33ft), 15m (49ft), 20m (66ft), 30m (98ft), with customized length provided beyond the list. Specifying the measured channel length keeps the slack out of the manager and the strain off the mating connectors.

Quality Control and Testing

Each completed assembly is terminated with precision zirconia ferrule connectors and optically tested before packing: insertion loss and return loss are verified on each cable, and end-face geometry is inspected for consistent physical contact. The fiber cable ships with dust caps on both connectors and the test result provided on order.

Ordering and Factory Support

Refer to this design by connector pair, fiber mode and length when submitting a request for a quotation. For configurations outside the listed options, mixed connector families, jackets, labeling or project packaging, send the need with the inquiry and the factory will validate the build before release to production. Customers in the Philippines can include multi-site labeling or documentation requirements when requesting a project quotation.
