Fiber Cable StarTech OM4 40M Uniboot 100G 50/125

The StarTech OM4 Multimode Fiber Cable 40M Uniboot 100G 50/125 is a 40‑meter multimode fiber assembly engineered for high‑speed short‑reach networks. It uses OM4 fiber with a 50/125 µm core/cladding geometry and a uniboot connector design to reduce connector bulk and simplify rack‑side cable routing. The cable supports 100G Ethernet links in data center and enterprise environments and is constructed to meet OFNR riser fire safety requirements for indoor vertical runs.

Advantages

This OM4 fiber cable delivers low attenuation and high bandwidth for short‑distance multimode links. The uniboot connector offers a slim, two‑fibre footprint that eases cable management in high‑density panels and switch ports. Compliance with OFNR riser rating ensures it is suitable for indoor installation in vertical shafts and between floors where riser‑rated cabling is required. The cable’s 50/125 µm multimode construction provides predictable modal bandwidth and consistent performance for 100G applications.

Suitable for

• 100G Ethernet short‑reach interconnects in data centers
• Patch cabling between switches, servers, and optical transceivers
• High‑density rack patch panels and server cabinets
• Enterprise backbone runs where OM4 performance is required

How to use

Route the uniboot fiber cable through cable management channels or vertical risers to connect optical transceivers, switches, or patch panels. Ensure connector endfaces are clean before mating to optical equipment to avoid signal loss; use appropriate inspection and cleaning tools for multimode connectors. When installing in high‑density areas, orient the slim uniboot housing to maximize port access and reduce bend stress. Follow standard fiber handling practices: avoid tight bends, apply gentle pull tension, and secure the cable with appropriate strain relief.

Usage recommendations

Inspect and clean connectors before installation; maintain bend radii above manufacturer minimums to preserve optical performance. For optimal 100G link performance use compatible multimode transceivers and verify link budget with test equipment after installation. Use riser‑rated pathways for OFNR cables and follow local building codes for vertical cabling runs.
