10/100BASE-T SFPCustomized Ultra Low Loss Simplex Fiber Patch Cable, LC/SC/FC/ST, OM4
New Zealand engineering teams can use the documented values below to compare the product with the intended channel and as-built requirements. This made-to-order fiber patch cable is built to the particular design the project specifies: connector styles, polish, fiber mode, jacket and length are all selected at order time and this manufactured assembly is factory terminated and optically tested before dispatch.

Built to the order
The made-to-order program covers the combinations that stock lists cannot: mixed connector families, non-standard jackets, unusual lengths, identification and packing to the project specification. This manufactured assembly is terminated and tested exactly like a stock product, with the design confirmed before production is released.
Multimode reach for the data hall
This OM4 item serves the short-reach fabric of the data center: 10G and 25G server uplinks, 40G and 100G SR4 spine links and the inter-row runs between them. On OM4 glass, 10G Ethernet holds to 400 meters and 100G SR4 to 100 meters, which covers the overwhelming majority of in-hall routes with margin to spare.
Why OM4 replaced OM3 in new builds
OM4 raises the effective modal bandwidth to 4700 MHz·km at 850nm, and that headroom translates directly into reach for the higher-speed interfaces. The price difference against OM3 has largely disappeared; therefore, new cabling plants standardize on OM4 and keep OM3 only for matching established installations.
Length Options
Regular length versions cover the common patching routes: 1m (3ft), 2m (7ft), 3m (10ft), 5m (16ft), 10m (33ft), 15m (49ft), 20m (66ft), 30m (98ft), with made-to-order length offered beyond the list. Specifying the measured channel length keeps the slack out of the manager and the strain off the connection interfaces.
Quality Control and Testing
Each optical assembly is terminated with precision zirconia ferrule connectors and optically tested before packing: insertion loss and return loss are verified on every cable, and end-face geometry is inspected for consistent physical contact. The relevant cable ships with dust caps on the two connectors and the test result offered on specify.
Ordering and Factory Support
Refer to this design by connector pair, fiber mode and length when requisitioning a quotation. For configurations outside the listed options, mixed connector families, jackets, identification or project packing, send the requirement with the enquiry and the factory will cross-check the build before production is released. New Zealand project orders can include documentation and labeling requirements alongside the technical configuration.
