ACT 2 meter Multimode 50/125 OM4 polarity A fiber patch cable with MTP female connectors

The ACT 2m Multimode 50/125 OM4 Fiber Patch Cable with MTP female connectors is designed for high-density data center and enterprise network environments. With a 50 µm core multimode construction and OM4 grade glass, this 2 meter cable supports high-speed data transmission, low insertion loss and consistent optical performance across short- and medium-range links. The Polarity A wiring ensures correct channel mapping in systems that require traditional transmit/receive alignment.

Advantages

This multimode OM4 cable delivers improved bandwidth and extended reach compared with lower OM grades, while the MTP female connectors provide high-density termination and repeatable mating performance. The 50/125 core/cladding dimensions offer compatibility with standard multimode transceivers and parallel optics modules. Designed for data center racks and patch panels, the cable minimizes signal loss and helps maintain link reliability under normal installation conditions.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Interconnecting parallel optics transceivers and high-density patch panels
• Short- to medium-range links in data centers and server rooms
• High-bandwidth applications such as 40G/100G Ethernet over multimode fiber
• Structured cabling backbones and equipment patching

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM4
• Core / cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector type: MTP female on both ends
• Polarity: A (standard transmit/receive mapping)
• Length: 2 meters
• Typical use: High-density, short- to medium-range optical links

How to use

Install the cable by inserting each MTP female connector into the corresponding male or adapter-equipped port on transceivers, patch panels or cassette modules. Ensure the connectors are clean and free of dust or debris before mating; use appropriate fiber cleaning tools to prevent contamination-related loss. Route the cable to avoid excessive bends, kinks or mechanical stress, respecting the manufacturer's minimum bend radius for multimode fiber. Verify link continuity and optical loss with a suitable tester after installation.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, store and handle the OM4 fiber cable in a clean environment, keep connector endfaces protected until installation, and follow standard data center cable management practices. When used with parallel optics and multi-fiber transceivers, confirm polarity A mapping matches the transceiver and patching scheme to ensure correct signal alignment.
