4F OM3 Multimode LSZH OFNR MPO Indoor Fiber Optic Cable

Product Value Summary

This page is intended to describe an unterminated 4-fiber OM3 indoor cable used as input material for MPO cable-assembly production. It is not evidence of a finished MPO-to-MPO patch cord, trunk, or harness. The approved model, construction drawing, jacket/rating variant, cable dimensions, and test limits must be confirmed before the product can be quoted or published.

Short Buyer Answer

Use this record only when the requirement is for 4-fiber OM3 cable stock rather than a finished MPO assembly. For a valid quotation, BWNFiber must first confirm the exact cable model, jacket/rating, outside diameter, roll length, marking, quantity, destination, and the MPO assembly components that will be used downstream.

Key Features — Pending Source Approval

• Fiber count: TBC — source required
• Fiber category: TBC — source required
• Intended use: cable stock for MPO assembly production — TBC — product-owner approval required
• Jacket/rating variants: TBC — map each option to an approved part number and listing
• Nominal cable diameter and tolerance: TBC — controlled drawing required
• Strength member and internal construction: TBC — controlled drawing/BOM required
• Standard roll/reel length and tolerance: TBC — packaging specification required

Technical Specifications

Interfaces and Connector Options

The cable-stock fiber count does not by itself define an MPO ferrule, connector gender, pinning, key orientation, polarity method, housing, boot, or finished-assembly length. These belong to the finished-assembly BOM. Before quoting an MPO assembly that uses this cable, confirm:

• MPO/MTP-compatible interface and ferrule position count;
• populated fiber positions and fiber-to-position map;
• connector gender and pin configuration;
• key orientation and polarity/channel map;
• polish and housing/boot selection;
• cable-entry and strain-relief compatibility;
• finished length datum, label scheme, and test path.

All options are TBC — approved assembly BOM and drawing required.

Fiber Type and Configuration Options

Do not combine unapproved alternatives into one order line. The quotation should identify one controlled configuration with one model/SKU. If both LSZH and OFNR variants exist, list them as separate selectable part numbers with their own material and listing evidence.

Compatibility and Application Conditions

Compatibility cannot be inferred from OM3, 4F, or MPO alone. Approval depends on the downstream ferrule/connector design, populated positions, cable-entry range, polarity/channel map, target transceiver or panel interface, and total link budget. Send the finished-assembly drawing or target interface specification for engineering review.

How to Select the Correct Configuration

1. Confirm whether the requirement is cable stock or a finished assembly.
2. Provide the required fiber count and the exact populated-position map.
3. Specify the approved jacket material and required fire/smoke listing for the installation space.
4. Confirm cable diameter, boot/clamp entry range, routing space, and minimum bend requirement.
5. State the roll/reel length, quantity, jacket marking, label, and packaging requirements.
6. For a finished assembly, provide the connector, gender, pinning, key orientation, polarity, length datum, and test requirements.
7. Request the revision-controlled drawing, datasheet, and applicable test documents before sample or bulk approval.

Difference from Related Products

No exact related model may be named until the BWNFiber catalog owner confirms the relationship.

Intended Use Cases

• MPO cable-assembly production — TBC — product-owner confirmation required.
• Other uses: TBC — do not infer from competitor pages or general industry practice.

Testing and Quality-Control Process

TBC — source required. Before publication, define the incoming-fiber/cable checks, sample identity, test wavelength, reference method, equipment, acceptance limits, lot traceability, report format, and whether testing applies to cable stock or the finished connectorized assembly. Do not describe finished-assembly insertion loss or return loss as a cable-stock property.

Packaging and Procurement Information

TBC — source required for standard roll/reel length, length tolerance, reel dimensions, net/gross weight, moisture protection, label fields, and export packaging. do not use for order release MOQ, price, inventory, lead time, warranty, or delivery promises without an approved commercial source.

Required Information for an RFQ

Send:

• cable stock versus finished-assembly requirement;
• fiber count and OM category;
• jacket material and required listing/rating;
• cable diameter/entry constraint;
• total length, length per roll/reel, and quantity;
• jacket marking and label requirements;
• destination country and installation space;
• required datasheet, drawing, compliance record, and test documentation;
• for finished assemblies: connector interface, gender, pinning, key orientation, polarity/channel map, finished length datum, and acceptance limits.

Datasheet / Drawing / Test-Report Area

• Product datasheet: TBC — approved file required

• Finished-assembly drawing/test report: available only if a finished assembly is separately specified and approved

RFQ / CTA

Request a controlled specification review

Send the cable-stock or finished-assembly requirement, target interface, fiber count, jacket/rating, diameter constraint, length, quantity, marking, destination, and document checklist. BWNFiber should return an approved model/SKU, drawing revision, specification, and quotation only after engineering review.

Is this a finished MPO patch cord?
Not according to the intended V4 positioning. The record describes cable stock for assembly production. This must be confirmed by the product owner. A finished MPO assembly also requires connector, gender, pinning, key orientation, polarity, populated-position map, length, and test definitions.

Does “4F” define the MPO connector?
No. Fiber count alone does not define ferrule position count, populated positions, gender, pinning, key orientation, polarity, or the target interface.

Are LSZH and OFNR interchangeable?
Do not treat them as interchangeable labels. The approved material, construction, test/listing, region, and installation-space requirement must be matched to a specific product variant.

What cable diameter applies?
TBC — use the value and tolerance from the approved drawing. The V4 draft states 3.0 ± 0.1 mm, but the source document was not available in this task.

What optical values apply?
TBC — publish only values tied to the approved fiber/cable specification, wavelength, method, limit, and revision. Cable attenuation is not the same as finished-assembly insertion loss or complete channel loss.

Can this cable be ordered for a specific MPO assembly?
Only after BWNFiber confirms the cable-entry compatibility, ferrule/population map, connector hardware, strain relief, polarity, length datum, and test plan for that assembly.

What documents should procurement request?
Request the revision-controlled product datasheet, construction drawing, jacket/rating evidence, packaging specification, and applicable test record. For a finished assembly, also request the BOM/channel map and assembly test report.

What should be included in a quotation request?
Provide the target model or engineering requirement, fiber count/type, jacket/rating, cable diameter constraint, length per roll/reel, total quantity, marking, packaging, destination, and document requirements.
