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 1m duplex patch lead joins ST ports to SC ports.
One end is ST (round bayonet twist-lock, found on older installs) and the other is SC (square push-pull, common on panels and media converters), so it bridges equipment with different connector types. Duplex means two fibres in one lead, one for each direction of traffic.
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 1m it is a short patching length for use inside one rack.
