I can't see googling this any further than I have already. Is there any difference in color between OM3 and OM4? I know OM3 is aqua and is usually what I recommend for most 10G installations now. What I found quickly is that OM4 is touted as OM3+ and usually also aqua but with OM4 print on it. Does it appear physically different otherwise?
