Frequently Asked Questions
What does the OM4 classification mean?
OM4 is a laser-optimized multimode fiber specification providing high bandwidth for 10Gbps, 40Gbps, and 100Gbps network applications.
Can this cable be used in riser spaces?
While this specific cable is plenum-rated, which is generally acceptable for riser applications, please confirm local building codes regarding installation requirements.
How are the 24 fibers organized?
The 24 fibers are arranged in two 12-fiber subunits to simplify identification and termination during installation.
What is ClearCurve fiber?
ClearCurve is a bend-insensitive fiber technology that minimizes signal loss even when the cable is tightly routed or bent.
Is the jacket fire-resistant?
Yes, the plenum jacket is specifically rated for use in air handling spaces, meeting rigorous flame-spread and smoke-density requirements.
