Belden Inc. FP44F4F05M5 OM4 MPO8 Fiber Patch Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. FP44F4F05M5 is an OM4 multimode fiber optic patch cable with MPO8 female connectors on both ends. It is designed for high-density fiber interconnect applications in structured cabling systems, data centers, and enterprise network environments. This cable spans 5 meters and supports parallel optics and high-bandwidth transmission over multimode fiber. Network technicians and low-voltage cabling contractors install this type of assembly when connecting fiber distribution units, active equipment, or trunk cable systems that require a pre-terminated MPO interface.

This patch cable is suited for use in data center backbone runs, high-density patch panels, and switch-to-panel interconnects where OM4 multimode performance is required. It is appropriate for both new installations and structured cabling upgrades in commercial and enterprise settings. The MPO8 female-to-female configuration makes it directly compatible with MPO-style adapter panels and pre-terminated trunk assemblies commonly found in modern high-density fiber infrastructures.

Key Features

• OM4 multimode fiber supports high-bandwidth, short-reach parallel optical applications
• MPO8 female connectors on both ends for direct panel and equipment connectivity
• 5-meter factory-terminated assembly eliminates field termination labor
• Pre-tested construction provides consistent insertion loss performance
• Suitable for high-density fiber patching environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard patch assembly for high-density OM4 multimode fiber systems using MPO8 female interface connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage or structured cabling contractors in accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 standards. Before handling, ensure connected equipment is powered down or in a safe state and that fiber ports are not actively transmitting laser light. Use appropriate fiber inspection tools to verify connector endfaces are clean before mating. Avoid sharp bends below the cable minimum bend radius to prevent signal loss or fiber damage.
