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 10m duplex patch lead joins ST ports to ST ports.
Both ends are ST (round bayonet twist-lock, found on older installs). 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 ferrules have a UPC polish. Each fibre is in a 3.0mm jacket. The jacket is LSZH for indoor use in offices and data centres. Jacket colour is aqua, the usual colour for OM4.
At 10m it is suited to links between racks or across a comms room.
