Belden Inc. FP3LD4F01M8 OM3 Fiber Patch Cable Mpo 8F

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. FP3LD4F01M8 is a pre-terminated fiber optic patch cable designed for structured cabling and data network environments. It features an OM3 multimode fiber construction with a 4x LC duplex connector on one end and an MPO 8-fiber female connector on the other, making it a fanout-style assembly suited for high-density fiber distribution. With a 1.8-meter length, this cable bridges MPO trunk infrastructure to individual LC-terminated equipment ports. Licensed fiber optic installers and low-voltage structured cabling technicians are the primary installers of this assembly.

This patch cable is used in high-density data center and commercial network installations where OM3 multimode backbone runs terminate at fiber distribution units or cassettes. The MPO-to-LC fanout configuration is common in MDA and HDA applications, allowing a single MPO port to break out into four LC duplex connections for direct equipment patching. It suits horizontal or inter-cabinet runs where 1.8 meters provides adequate reach between adjacent panels or switch ports.

Key Features

• OM3 multimode fiber supports 10GbE and higher data rates over appropriate distances
• MPO 8-fiber female connector enables high-density trunk termination
• 4x LC duplex breakout provides direct patching to four individual equipment ports
• Pre-terminated factory assembly eliminates field polishing and reduces installation time
• 1.8-meter length suits short inter-panel or cabinet-to-switch applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cable for use with OM3 multimode fiber infrastructure, MPO-based trunk systems, and LC duplex-terminated network equipment in structured cabling installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage or fiber optic cabling technicians in accordance with TIA-568 and applicable local codes. Power down or place connected equipment ports in a safe state before disconnecting active fiber links. Avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius and protect connector end-faces with dust caps when not in use. Inspect and clean connectors with appropriate fiber optic cleaning tools prior to mating.
