ACT 5 meter Multimode 50/125 OM4 polarity A fiber patch cable with MTP female connectors

The ACT Fiber Patch Cable 5m Multimode 50/125 OM4 Polarity A is a 5-meter multimode fiber assembly designed for high-density networking and data center environments. It uses OM4 graded 50/125 µm multimode fiber and MTP female connectors with Polarity A wiring, providing reliable high-speed data transmission and low attenuation for short- to medium-range optical links. The cable is intended for use where consistent multimode performance and compact connector interfaces are required.

Advantages

This multimode OM4 cable offers a balanced combination of bandwidth and signal integrity for multimode networks. The 50/125 µm core size supports efficient light coupling for laser and VCSEL sources, while OM4 grading improves modal bandwidth for higher data rates. Polarity A wiring with MTP female connectors simplifies port-to-port connections in structured cabling and minimizes the need for additional polarity conversion. The 5 meter length provides sufficient reach for many data center top-of-rack and patching applications without excess slack.

Suitable for

• Data center patching and interconnects between equipment racks
• High-density optical panels and MTP/MPO trunk connections
• Short- to medium-range multimode links for 10G/40G/100G applications where OM4 fiber is specified
• Environments requiring Polarity A MTP female-to-female connections

How to use

Install the ACT 5m Multimode 50/125 OM4 Polarity A fiber patch cable by aligning each MTP female connector with the corresponding MTP male or adapter ports on patch panels, transceivers, or equipment modules that accept MTP connections. Confirm Polarity A alignment according to your network documentation to maintain correct transmit/receive orientation. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and secure it with appropriate cable management to prevent strain on the connectors. Perform optical loss testing and continuity checks after installation to verify link performance.

Recommendations

Use in temperature-controlled data center racks, avoid repeated plug/unplug cycles that may increase connector wear, and keep connector endfaces protected until final installation. For optimal performance, pair OM4 multimode fiber with compatible transceivers and test links with appropriate MPO/MTP inspection and light source/power meter or OTDR equipment.
