Belden Inc. FP4SDSD003MR3XA OM4 Fiber Patch Cable Sc Duplex

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. FP4SDSD003MR3XA is an OM4 multimode fiber optic patch cable terminated with SC duplex connectors on both ends. This 3-meter assembly is designed for high-density data center, enterprise LAN, and structured cabling environments where reliable multimode fiber interconnects are required. OM4 multimode fiber supports high-bandwidth applications at extended distances compared to OM3, making this cable suitable for 10G, 40G, and 100G backbone and horizontal runs. Installation is typically performed by low-voltage technicians, data cabling specialists, or licensed electricians working on structured cabling systems.

This patch cable is suited for use in data centers, server rooms, telecommunications closets, and campus backbone installations. The SC duplex connector format is widely used in enterprise switching, transceiver modules, and fiber distribution panels. The 3-meter length provides flexibility for short cross-connect and equipment-to-panel runs within standard rack and cabinet installations.

Key Features

• OM4 multimode fiber construction supports 10G, 40G, and 100G transmission standards
• SC duplex connectors on both ends for secure, push-pull latching connections
• 3-meter cable length suitable for intra-rack and short inter-rack runs
• Sold as a single factory-terminated assembly, ready for immediate deployment
• Designed for structured cabling environments per TIA and ISO fiber standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard patch cable for use with SC duplex fiber ports in OM4 multimode fiber optic structured cabling systems.

Installation Notes

This cable is installed by low-voltage technicians or structured cabling professionals in accordance with TIA-568 and applicable local codes. Always inspect ferrule end-faces for contamination before mating connectors, and use appropriate fiber end-face cleaning tools prior to insertion. Avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing to prevent signal degradation. No power shutdown is required for passive fiber patch installation, but active transceivers and optical links should be deactivated before disconnecting live fiber runs in sensitive network environments.
