Fibre optic patch cable MicroConnect FIB440402.5P OM4 50 µm, 2.5 m, pink

The MicroConnect FIB440402.5P OM4 fibre optic patch cable is a 2.5 m multimode patch cord with a 50 µm core diameter and pink jacket. It is engineered for high-speed data links and short to medium distance multimode networks, delivering OM4 performance for 10/40/100 GbE and InfiniBand connections. Constructed with an LSZH jacket and manufactured to industry optical and safety standards, this patch cable is suitable for data centre patching, SAN and telecom environments where predictable multimode transmission is required.

Advantages

This OM4 multimode cable offers improved bandwidth and lower modal dispersion compared with lower multimode grades, supporting higher density and higher speed transceiver modules. The 2.5 m length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack or panel-to-panel connections without excess cable slack. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and toxic gas emission in the event of fire, and the cable conforms to recognised optical and safety standards for reliable performance in professional installations.

Suitable for

• 10G/40G/100G Ethernet patching in data centres
• InfiniBand and SAN connections
• Interconnection of QSFP+, SFP+ and other multimode transceivers
• Telecom patch panels and cabinet routing
• Short- to medium-distance multimode links within buildings

Key specifications

• Fibre type: OM4 multimode
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Length: 2.5 m
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Colour: Pink
• Suitable for: 10/40/100 GbE and InfiniBand multimode transceivers
• Standards compliance: manufactured to common telecom and optical test standards (industry recognised)

How to use

Identify the appropriate fibre ports on transceivers or patch panels and ensure connectors and ports are clean before mating. Route the 2.5 m patch cable along cable management paths to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain. Insert the connectors fully into the transceiver or adapter until a positive click is felt and verify link status on network equipment. For multimode links match OM4 specification on both ends and use compatible multimode transceivers for expected performance.

Usage recommendations

Always inspect and clean connector endfaces with a suitable fibre cleaning tool prior to connection. Maintain minimum bend radius as specified by the manufacturer, avoid crushing or kinking the cable, and store unused cables in loops without tight turns. Use OM4 patching for applications requiring higher modal bandwidth and when planning for 40G/100G upgrades.
