Topic: OM4 fibre cable for MADI (UFX+/XTC)

Having problem getting a short (0,5 - 1m) OM3 LWL/fibre cable from Thomann.

I stumbled over this one @Reichelt shop now: https://www.reichelt.de/LWL-Kabel/O0318 … 0318.0%2C5

2 Questions:

1. Is it possible to also take OM4 cable for MADI with UFX+ and ie Octamic XTC ?

2. I have only a short rack (2-3u), what is your experience, 0.5m ok, or better to take 1m ?

Thanks

That cable will work. Cable length doesn't matter.

Many thanks !

BTW I decided to take 1m cable with "Kompaktader".

The term "Kompaktader" (en.: compact wire?) is explained here, sorry found only a reference in German.
