Fiber optic cable routing can result in 90° bends, cables caught in cabinet doors and kinks. Data loss and transmission errors resulting from these common problems are difficult to troubleshoot, expensive, and increase downtime. HP PremierFlex OM4 Fiber Optic Cables solve these problems by providing up to 10 times better bend performance than existing fiber cables. These revolutionary cables use a new bendable fiber technology that significantly improves bend performance over existing fiber cables. This, combined with improvements in fiber clarity and bandwidth, allows HP Premierflex cables to transmit data over longer distances, at higher rates, with fewer transmission errors. The flexibility of these new cables also enables simple, reliable installation, enhanced performance, and better signal integrity.
