Know before you buy
This OM3 multi-mode cable is optimized for high-speed data transmission, supporting up to 10GbE and 8Gb Fibre Channel applications.
Yes, it features standard LC connectors on both ends, making it compatible with most network switches, transceivers, and patch panels that utilize LC duplex interfaces.
OM3 is a laser-optimized multi-mode fiber specification designed to handle high-bandwidth data over shorter distances, specifically 10Gbps connections, compared to older OM1 or OM2 standards.
This is a 2-fiber duplex cable, meaning it contains two strands of fiber housed in a single jacket to allow for simultaneous transmit and receive data paths.
The 16.40-foot length is ideal for connecting equipment within the same rack or between adjacent racks. Ensure your equipment placement allows for this reach before installation.
