OM4 is high-bandwidth 50/125 multimode fibre that runs 10 Gigabit up to 400 metres and 40/100 Gigabit up to 150 metres. This 2m duplex patch lead joins LC ports to ST ports.
One end is LC (small push-and-latch, used on SFP modules and dense panels) and the other is ST (round bayonet twist-lock, found on older installs), so it bridges equipment with different connector types. Being duplex, it has two fibres (transmit and receive) joined side by side.
It is for multimode optics such as SR and SX modules, and should match the fibre grade of the rest of the link. The jacket is LSZH for indoor use in offices and data centres. Jacket colour is aqua, the usual colour for OM4.
At 2m it is long enough to patch across a rack or to the next one.
