Multimode Fiber Breakout Cable CBO SFP6142FU5MKB, OM4, 5 m

The Multimode Fiber Breakout Cable CBO SFP6142FU5MKB, OM4, 5 m is a 5‑metre multimode fiber breakout cable designed for short‑range high‑speed connections. It uses OM4 graded multimode fiber to provide improved bandwidth and reduced modal dispersion compared with earlier multimode grades. The cable splits a multi‑core trunk into individual fibers with factory‑terminated ends suitable for patching, cross‑connects and direct equipment interconnects in data centers, telecom rooms and enterprise network racks.

Advantages

This OM4 breakout cable delivers consistent multimode performance over the specified 5 m length, supporting high data rates for short reach applications. Factory termination ensures low insertion loss and reliable endface geometry, while the breakout construction simplifies installation by providing individually jacketed fibers for neat routing and strain relief. The cable’s OM4 fiber offers higher modal bandwidth than OM3, enabling improved signal integrity for demanding 10G/40G/100G links within the supported distance ranges.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches, transceivers and patch panels in data centers
• Cross‑connects and equipment interconnects in telecom closets
• Short‑reach links in enterprise LANs requiring OM4 performance
• Applications where a 5 m breakout assembly reduces connector clutter and simplifies cable management

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM4 multimode fiber
• Length: 5 m
• Construction: breakout cable splitting into individually jacketed fibers
• Connector arrangement: factory‑terminated endfaces suitable for standard multimode transceivers and patch panels
• Typical use: short‑range, high‑speed multimode links in data center and enterprise environments

How to use

Route the breakout cable from the patch panel or transceiver port to the destination equipment, avoiding tight bends and excessive tension. Secure the main jacket and individual fiber jackets using appropriate cable management accessories and strain relief points. Plug compatible multimode connectors into the corresponding transceiver or patch panel ports, ensuring correct polarity and clean endfaces. Verify link operation with appropriate testing equipment after installation.

Usage recommendations

Keep connector endfaces clean and use dust caps when the cable is not in use. Observe manufacturer bend radius and tensile limits for OM4 multimode fiber during installation to maintain low insertion loss and reliable performance.
