Belden FP44F4F02M5 OM4 MPO8F to MPO8F Fiber Patch Cable

Product Description

The Belden FP44F4F02M5 is a pre-terminated OM4 multimode fiber optic patch cable with MPO8 female connectors on both ends and a 2.5-meter trunk length. Designed for high-density structured cabling environments, this cable supports 40G and 100G data center applications where low insertion loss and precise fiber alignment are critical. The OM4 fiber grade provides 50/125 micron glass optimized for laser-based transmission, delivering extended reach over multimode infrastructure. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors install this type of assembly in MDA and HDA cabinets, patch panels, and structured fiber backbones.

This patch cable is suited for high-density data center and enterprise network installations. MPO8 female-to-female assemblies are commonly used in parallel optic routing, pre-terminated fiber trunking systems, and direct connection between MPO cassettes or adapter panels. The 2.5-meter length fits short rack-to-rack or intra-cabinet runs where cable management space is limited and clean routing is required.

Key Features

• OM4 50/125 micron multimode fiber for laser-optimized 40G and 100G transmission
• MPO8 female connectors on both ends for high-density parallel optic applications
• 2.5-meter pre-terminated assembly for repeatable, tool-free field deployment
• Factory-terminated and tested for consistent insertion loss performance
• Compatible with MPO adapter panels and cassette-based fiber distribution systems

Compatibility

Designed as a factory-terminated OM4 multimode patch cable assembly for use with MPO8 female adapter panels, fiber cassettes, and pre-terminated trunk cabling systems in structured data center and enterprise fiber infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a low-voltage cabling technician or licensed network infrastructure contractor. Verify that active equipment and connected transceivers are powered down before handling fiber connectors to prevent eye hazard from live laser sources. Keep MPO ferrule end-faces capped or cleaned with an appropriate fiber optic cleaning tool before mating to avoid contamination-related signal loss. Follow TIA-568 and ANSI/TIA-942 guidelines for fiber routing, bend radius, and labeling in structured cabling installations.
