Know before you buy
LSZH stands for Low-Smoke, Zero Halogen. This jacket material is designed to emit minimal smoke and no toxic halogen gases if exposed to high heat or fire, making it a safer choice for enclosed data centers and office environments.
Yes, this cable is fully backward compatible with standard 50/125 multimode fiber systems, allowing you to integrate it into your current network infrastructure without compatibility issues.
Absolutely. This cable is specifically engineered for 10Gb Ethernet applications and utilizes Laser-Optimized Multi-mode Fiber (LOMMF) to ensure high bandwidth and reliable performance at that speed.
This cable features dual LC connectors on both ends. These are standard small-form-factor connectors that are color-coded to help you easily identify and manage your connections.
OM3 fiber is optimized for use with VCSEL (Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser) light sources. This technology provides significantly higher bandwidth and longer transmission distances compared to older multimode standards, effectively bridging the gap toward single-mode performance.
