Patchcord – OM4 – ST to ST– Simplex – 2mm – Orange – 25m

Patchcord – OM4 – ST to ST – Simplex – 2mm – Orange – 25m

The Patchcord – OM4 – ST to ST – Simplex – 2mm – Orange – 25m is a high-performance multimode fibre optic patchcord designed to provide reliable, low-loss connectivity for data centres, enterprise networks and high-speed optical communication systems.

Manufactured using 2.0mm LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) cable, this simplex patchcord delivers excellent optical performance while ensuring low smoke emissions and improved safety for indoor installations. Fitted with ST connectors at both ends, it is ideal for legacy multimode network equipment, patch panels and fibre distribution systems.

The precision-engineered zirconia ferrules provide low insertion loss of ≤0.3dB and a return loss of ≥30dB, ensuring dependable signal transmission across demanding network environments. Supporting 40/100Gb/s Ethernet applications, OM4 fibre provides transmission distances of up to 1100m at 1Gb/s, 400m at 10Gb/s, and 150m at 40/100Gb/s, while maintaining backward compatibility with OM3 infrastructure.

Supplied in a 25-metre length with an orange LSZH jacket, this patchcord is suitable for professional telecommunications, enterprise networking and data centre applications.
