OM4-Rated for 400/100 Gb Ethernet Applications
As the amount of traffic in data networks grows, so does the need for next-generation devices and fiber cables to support much higher bandwidths in cloud services, hyperscale data centers, telecom applications and equipment OEM companies. This duplex multimode 50/125 OM4 cable is an ideal choice for 400G Ethernet applications up to 100 meters (at 850 nm). It is also backward compatible with 40 Gb and 100 Gb networks, so you can future-proof your current application for an eventual upgrade to 400 Gb. These cables are recommended for patching between data center MDFs and IDFs. They are also optimized for QSFP+ 40GBASE-SR4 and QSFP28 100GBASE-SR4 networks.
Aqua Jacket Helps Avoid Misidentification That Can Cause Costly Downtime
The 8-fiber female connectors on the N858-15M-MX8MG are 12 times denser than SC connectors. The OM4-rated cable has a aqua jacket, which is easy to identify quickly in a crowded patch panel or switch and helps prevent the cable from becoming accidentally disconnected. The low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket limits the amount of toxic smoke emitted in case of combustion, making it suitable for poorly ventilated areas. It is also 100% tested for low insertion loss and back reflection.
