HPE QK733A Premier Flex LC/LC OM4 2F 2M Network Cable

Detailed Specifications

The HPE QK733A is a high-grade, multi-mode OM4 fiber optic cable designed for reliable data transmission in high-density network environments. As a core component of modern infrastructure, this 2-meter duplex cable is engineered for connecting high-speed storage and networking equipment within data centers, server rooms, and enterprise campus backbones. It directly addresses the need for robust, high-bandwidth links for Storage Area Networks (SANs) and Ethernet applications, ensuring stable connectivity between servers, switches, and storage arrays. This cable's key technical advantage lies in its use of PremierFlex "bendable" fiber technology. This innovation allows the cable to maintain signal integrity even when subjected to tight bends and challenging routing conditions common in packed server racks. Traditional fiber cables can suffer from significant signal loss and data errors when bent sharply, but the QK733A is engineered to minimize these effects, resulting in fewer transmission faults and increased uptime. The OM4 specification supports high-throughput protocols, including 10GbE, 40GbE, and Fibre Channel, over short distances with exceptional performance headroom. Intended for structured cabling systems, the QK733A is terminated with industry-standard Duplex LC connectors for broad compatibility with a vast range of HPE and third-party networking hardware. Its 2-meter length is ideal for top-of-rack switch-to-server connections or for interconnecting devices within the same cabinet. The cable's physical construction and riser-rated jacket ensure it meets compliance standards for safe deployment within enterprise IT environments, simplifying both installation and long-term management.
