StarTech.com OM4 Cable Fibre Optic Cable, 125 μm Low Smoke Zero Halogen, Aqua, 5 m

StarTech.com Fibre Optic Cable, 5m Cable Length, OM4 Fibre Type - 450FBLCLC5

This fibre-optic cable provides high-speed multimode connectivity for data and control networks in industrial and laboratory settings. It is constructed with an OM4 multimode core and terminated with LC connectors to support dense optical links where signal integrity and bandwidth are important. The cable is intended for indoor patching and interconnects within controlled routing environments.

Features and Benefits:

• OM4 multimode core delivers enhanced bandwidth for high-density networks
  125 μm core diameter ensures consistent modal performance in multimode links
  Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacket reduces toxic emissions in confined spaces
  Aqua-coloured sheath enables easy identification in cable trays
  Rated for -20°C to 60°C operation supports varied facility conditions

Applications

• Suitable for high-speed backbone links in automation systems
  Ideal for patching in data centres and server rooms
  Used with LC/LC optical transceivers for equipment interconnect
  Can be used for multimode field testing and commissioning tasks

What environmental conditions can it withstand during operation?

It functions across a temperature range from -20°C to 60°C, allowing deployment in cool plant rooms and heated enclosures without performance degradation.

What safety considerations does the cable jacket address?

The sheath is Low Smoke Zero Halogen, which limits corrosive and toxic gases during combustion and aids evacuation procedures in enclosed areas.

How does the connector configuration affect installation choices?

The LC to LC termination offers a Compact footprint suited to high-density panels and reduces port spacing compared with larger connector types.

Is this cable compliant with regulatory standards for professional installations?

It meets CE and RoHS approvals, indicating adherence to relevant European safety and restricted-substance requirements.
