FAQ
What is the difference between OM4 and OM3 fiber?
OM4 fiber offers higher bandwidth and longer transmission distances compared to OM3, making it a better choice for higher-speed applications like 400G networking and data center interconnects.
Can I use this cable for outdoor installations?
No, this product is specifically designed for indoor use only. For outdoor applications, consider our outdoor-rated cables, which offer UV protection and are built to withstand environmental conditions like rain and extreme temperatures.
How do I calculate the length of cable I need for my installation?
Measure the distance between your network components and add a little extra to account for turns or other installation variables. For custom lengths, you can order in 1-foot increments from 10 feet to 5000 feet.
Can I add connectors to this cable?
While connectors are not included with this product, it is compatible with most standard fiber optic connectors. If you need connectors or terminations, we offer custom fiber optic assemblies elsewhere on our site.
Are these cables TAA compliant?
Yes, all of our Indoor Interlocking Armor OM4 (50/125) cables are TAA compliant, ensuring they meet the Trade Agreements Act requirements for federal use.
