How to Choose the Right OM4 Configuration
Use these quick checks to match the right ST to SC OM4+ cable to your deployment.
Confirm Distance & Bandwidth
OM4 supports strong medium-distance performance for high-speed links. If your run needs longer reach or future long-haul growth, singlemode OS2 may be the better fit.
Select Cable Length
Choose the length that matches your route cleanly so you avoid excess slack and keep the installation organized.
Choose Jacket Type
Use OFNR for standard spaces, OFNP for plenum-rated areas, and LSZH where low-smoke, halogen-free cable is preferred.
Match the Connector Layout
ST on one side and SC on the other give you a reliable mixed-interface build that works well in network closets, telecom rooms, and equipment racks.
Advantages Over Previous Fiber Types
- Higher Bandwidth & Speed OM4 gives you better high-speed headroom than older multimode options, helping your network keep up with growing traffic.
- Extended Distance It offers stronger medium-distance reach, making it a practical choice for larger rooms, telecom spaces, and campus-style deployments.
- Future-Ready Solution The OM4 platform is built for modern Ethernet needs and can keep pace as network speeds continue to climb.
- Mixed-Connector Flexibility ST to SC gives you a simple way to connect different equipment styles without forcing a full infrastructure change.
- Cost-Effective Performance OM4 multimode provides a strong balance of performance and cost for medium-range applications where singlemode may be more than you need.
