Why not just buy Pink OM4 Cables from CDL? http://www.cdlnz.com/index.html?do=FIBRE&code=FIBRE#85305613 Why not just buy Pink OM4 Cables from CDL? http://www.cdlnz.com/index.html?do=FIBRE&code=FIBRE#85305613 From: Jed Laundry Date: Mon, 31 Mar 2014 18:46:30 +1300 To: Subject: [nznog] OM4 MMF Hi folks, Excuse my ignorance, I try to avoid orange/aqua cables... We recently had a rack of servers + SAN installed with 8Gb FC, and long story short, the vendor will only supply & install 5m OM4 cables. *grumble grumble FCoE grumble 2m patch grumble* AFAICT, OM4 is to OM3 what G.657A2 is to G.652 - completely interchangeable, especially for such a short run, just don't expect to wrap it around a pencil. And so I can swap out these stupidly long cables with properly measured OM3. Is this sensible?
