Know before you buy
The FiberShield design is a reinforced construction that makes this cable five times stronger than standard 3.0mm fiber cables. It provides extra protection against accidental crushing or pulling, making it a reliable choice for high-traffic data center environments.
Yes, this OM3 multimode cable is specifically optimized for 10 Gbps data transmission. It is designed to maintain consistent signal integrity at these speeds over its 7-meter length.
This cable features a Riser-rated (OFNR) PVC jacket, which means it is approved for installation in vertical riser spaces between floors. However, it is intended for indoor use only and should not be used in outdoor environments.
This cable is pre-terminated with SC connectors on one end and LC connectors on the other. This configuration is ideal for bridging equipment that requires different interface types without needing additional adapters.
Ceramic ferrules are used to ensure precise alignment of the fiber cores during connection. This minimizes signal loss and ensures a stable, high-quality data link compared to lower-cost plastic alternatives.
