Fiber Optic Cable StarTech.com 450FBLCLC10 10m LC/UPC OM4

The StarTech.com 450FBLCLC10 is a 10 m LC/UPC to LC/UPC OM4 multimode duplex fiber optic patch cable with a 50/125 µm core diameter and LSZH (Low-Smoke, Zero-Halogen) jacket. Designed for 40G and 100G connections, it supports SFP+, QSFP+ and other transceivers and is suitable for data centers, SANs and enterprise networks where high-bandwidth, low-loss multimode fiber is required.

Advantages

This OM4 multimode fiber cable uses laser-optimized multimode fiber (LOMMF) for low insertion loss and high bandwidth at 850 nm and 1350 nm, providing reliable performance with VCSEL and LED sources. The LSZH flame-retardant jacket reduces smoke, toxicity and corrosive gases in the event of fire, making the cable appropriate for environments with strict building codes. Each cable is individually tested to meet optical insertion loss limits and is backward compatible with existing 50/125 equipment for reliable connections with legacy systems.

Suitable for

• 40GBase-SR4 and 100GBase-SR10 short-range high-speed connections
• SFP+, QSFP+ transceiver links in data centers and server rooms
• SANs, enterprise LANs and high-density fiber patch panels
• Installations requiring LSZH-rated cabling for safety or code compliance

How to use

Ensure transceivers and patch panels are powered down or follow hot-plug procedures recommended by equipment manufacturers. Align and insert each LC connector into the corresponding LC port until it clicks. Use the duplex orientation that matches your transceiver or panel pinout. Route the cable to avoid tight bends; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius for OM4 fiber to prevent signal degradation. After connection, verify link status and run optical loss or link tests if required.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, handle connectors by the boot and keep end faces free of dust — inspect and clean connectors with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before insertion. Use cable management and strain relief in high-density racks to preserve the LSZH jacket and fiber integrity. Replace any cable with visible damage or increased insertion loss.
