QK736A HPE Premier Flex LC/LC Multi mode OM4 2 Fiber 30m Cable

The QK736A HPE Premier Flex LC/LC Multi-mode OM4 2 Fiber 30m Cable is an elite optical connectivity solution engineered for long-reach, high-density data center deployments. At 30 meters (approximately 98.4 feet), this cable is specifically designed for "Top-of-Rack" to "Core" switching architectures or inter-row connectivity where standard fiber cables often fail due to physical stress.

As a flagship member of the HPE Premier Flex family, it incorporates bend-insensitive fiber (BIF) technology, allowing it to maintain a stable, high-speed signal even when routed through tight corners or congested cable trays.

This OM4-rated cable is a critical component for organizations moving toward 10Gb, 40Gb, and 100Gb Ethernet. By utilizing Premier Flex technology, IT administrators can significantly reduce the risk of bit error rates (BER) and CRC errors that typically occur when long fiber runs are subjected to the mechanical pressures of large-scale cable management systems.

• OM4 Laser-Optimized Performance: Optimized for 850nm VCSEL transmissions, this cable supports 10GbE up to 400m and 40Gb/100GbE up to 100m, providing a future-proof foundation for high-speed networking.
• Premier Flex Bend-Insensitivity: Features a specialized internal construction that "traps" light within the fiber core during sharp bends. This results in up to 10 times less signal loss compared to standard OM4 cables, ensuring 30-meter runs remain high-performing even in complex layouts.
• High-Precision LC Connectors: Outfitted with duplex LC-to-LC connectors and premium ceramic ferrules, the QK736A guarantees ultra-low insertion loss and maximum return loss for consistent optical alignment.
• LSZH Safety Jacket: The signature blue jacket is composed of Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) materials, ensuring compliance with international fire safety standards for data center plenums and vertical shafts.

No. Under the OM4 standard, 100Gb Ethernet (SR4) is supported up to 100 meters. The QK736A provides a highly reliable 30m path that is well within the performance envelope for 100G speeds.

Yes. The QK736A is fully backward compatible with OM3 hardware. While it will operate at the lower OM3 distance limits if mixed with OM3 components, the "Premier Flex" bend-insensitivity will still provide superior physical reliability.

In long runs across multiple racks, cables are often pulled, twisted, or coiled into management loops. Standard fiber is prone to "macro-bending" which leaks light and slows down the network. The QK736A is designed to handle this physical stress without losing performance.

• Quality Verification: Every QK736A cable undergoes 100% optical testing for insertion loss and return loss before shipment. A documented test report is included to verify enterprise-grade performance.
• Protective Packaging: Cables are shipped in heavy-duty, anti-static sealed bags. All LC connectors are equipped with protective dust caps to safeguard the polished ceramic ferrules from contamination.
• Global Shipping: We provide worldwide delivery with expedited options available for urgent infrastructure projects. All components are fully compliant with RoHS, REACH, and WEEE environmental directives.
