Multimode Fiber Cable StarTech OM4 15M Uniboot 100G 50/125

The StarTech OM4 Multimode Fiber Cable 15M Uniboot 100G 50/125 is a high-bandwidth fiber patch cable designed for short-range, high-speed network links. The OM4 multimode fiber and 50/125 μm core/cladding profile provide low attenuation and high modal bandwidth suitable for 100G transmission in data center and enterprise environments. The Uniboot connector design reduces cable bulk and simplifies front-panel cable management while the 15 meter length supports flexible rack-to-rack or equipment-to-equipment connections. The cable is OFNR-rated for riser installations, making it appropriate for vertical runs within building riser spaces.

Advantages

This OM4 fiber cable offers high data throughput and low signal loss for 100G applications, combined with a compact Uniboot connector that minimizes space usage in dense patch panels. The 50/125 μm multimode construction is optimized for short-range multimode links and provides consistent performance across common multimode transceivers. OFNR riser rating ensures compliance with building cabling requirements for vertical pathways. The 15 m length provides a balance between reach and manageable slack in typical data center layouts.

Suitable for

• Data center spine-to-leaf and rack-to-rack fiber connections
• High-speed switch-to-switch and server-to-switch links supporting 100G
• Patch panel to transceiver connections in dense cabling environments
• Riser cabling runs within building vertical pathways

How to use

Route the OM4 Uniboot cable between the desired network equipment or patch panels, taking care to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress on the fiber. Use the compact Uniboot connector to install the cable in high-density patch panels and transceiver ports; ensure correct polarity and secure connection at both ends. If trimming slack, coil gently and secure with Velcro or fiber management accessories—do not use zip ties that may compress the jacket. Verify link integrity with appropriate fiber test equipment after installation.

Usage recommendations

Maintain a minimum bend radius as specified by the manufacturer, avoid excessive pulling force during installation, and store spare cable in gentle loops. Use dust caps on connectors when not in use and clean connector endfaces before mating to ensure optimal 100G performance.
