Belden Inc. FP4LULU04M4R6XA OM4 Fiber Patch Cable 4F 4M

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. FP4LULU04M4R6XA is an OM4 multimode fiber optic patch cable configured with LC duplex connectors on both ends. It provides a 4-meter length with 4 fiber strands, making it suitable for high-density structured cabling installations and data center interconnects. OM4 glass supports 10G, 40G, and 100G Ethernet applications over longer distances than OM3, and the LC duplex form factor is the standard interface for most modern fiber-capable switches, transceivers, and patch panels. Network technicians and low-voltage installers use this cable for structured cabling backbone connections and equipment room patching.

This patch cable is used in commercial and enterprise environments where high-bandwidth multimode fiber runs are required between active equipment. Typical applications include server room and data center rack-to-rack patching, fiber distribution frame interconnects, and horizontal or backbone segment connections in structured cabling systems. The 4-meter length suits short runs between adjacent racks or within the same equipment bay. The 4-fiber count accommodates duplex channel pairs with room for redundancy or additional links in the same jacket.

Key Features

• OM4 multimode glass fiber supports 10G, 40G, and 100G Ethernet applications
• LC duplex connectors on both ends for compatibility with current-generation fiber equipment
• 4-meter cable length suitable for intra-rack and adjacent-rack patching
• 4-fiber strand count supports multiple duplex channels in a single assembly
• Sold as a single assembled unit ready for immediate installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style patch cable assembly for use with LC duplex fiber ports on switches, transceivers, patch panels, and fiber distribution units in OM4 multimode fiber cabling infrastructures.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed low-voltage technicians or network cabling professionals following TIA-568 structured cabling standards. Clean fiber end-faces with an appropriate fiber optic cleaning tool before mating connectors to avoid signal loss or contamination. Never bend the cable beyond its minimum bend radius, and avoid crimping or kinking the jacket. Inspect connectors under a fiber inspection scope before insertion into active equipment ports.
