Know before you buy
Yes. This cable features a plenum-rated (CMP) jacket, which is specifically designed to meet fire safety codes for installation in air handling spaces like drop ceilings or raised floors.
OM3 is a laser-optimized multi-mode fiber standard that supports high-speed data transmission. It is specifically rated to handle 40GbE speeds over the distances typically found in data centers.
The pull tabs are integrated into the connector design to assist with installation and removal in high-density racks. They are intended to remain on the cable to ensure you can easily access and disconnect the cable in tight, crowded spaces.
While this cable is optimized for 40GbE (40GBASE-SR4) applications, it uses OM3 fiber, which is backward compatible with 10GbE environments. The aqua jacket color is standard for identifying 10GbE-capable fiber infrastructure.
Like all fiber optic cables, the MTP/MPO connector faces should be kept clean and free of dust to maintain signal integrity. We recommend using standard fiber optic cleaning tools before making any connections.
