Fiber Cable StarTech OM4 10M Uniboot 100G 50/125

The StarTech OM4 Multimode Fiber Cable Uniboot 10M is a 50/125 µm fiber assembly engineered for high-density, high-speed network environments. With multimode OM4 fiber optimized for 100G bandwidth, this 10-meter Uniboot cable supports short-reach, high-throughput links commonly used in data centers and enterprise racks. The riser-rated OFNR jacket allows use in vertical cable runs, while the Uniboot connector design reduces plug footprint and simplifies routing in patch panels and switches.

Advantages

The OM4 fiber core provides increased bandwidth and lower modal dispersion compared with lower grade multimode fibers, enabling reliable 100G transmission over typical short-range links. The Uniboot connector combines two fibers in a single boot to save space and reduce cable clutter in high-density panels. The OFNR riser-rated jacket meets building safety requirements for vertical spaces and offers a balance of flexibility and durability for installation and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Data center interconnects and top-of-rack to switch uplinks
• High-speed server-to-switch connections supporting 100G transceivers
• Enterprise backbone links within building riser pathways
• Patch panel and fiber enclosure terminations in crowded racks

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM4
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Length: 10 meters
• Connector style: Uniboot duplex (LC duplex form factor)
• Bandwidth: Rated for 100G short-reach applications
• Jacket rating: OFNR (riser-rated)
• Design: Low-profile duplex boot for high-density installations

How to use

Route the cable through riser or equipment spaces, avoiding tight bends and sharp edges to preserve fiber performance. Align and insert the Uniboot duplex connectors into LC-style ports on transceivers, patch panels, or switches until secure. Use existing cable management panels or ties to maintain orderly routing and prevent stress on connectors. For best signal quality, keep end faces clean and inspect or clean connectors before insertion using appropriate fiber cleaning tools.

Usage recommendations

For reliable 100G links, pair the OM4 Uniboot cable with compatible multimode transceivers and adhere to bend-radius guidelines. Store and install at room temperature, avoid excessive pulling force, and perform end-face inspection and cleaning as part of installation and maintenance procedures.
