Know before you buy
This is a laser-optimized multimode cable, specifically engineered to support higher bandwidths like 10Gbps, 40Gbps, and 100Gbps over longer distances compared to older OM1 or OM2 standards.
No, this cable is riser-rated (OFNR), which means it is designed specifically for interior use within walls or between floors. It lacks the weatherproofing and UV protection required for outdoor environments.
A duplex configuration consists of two fiber strands, allowing for simultaneous data transmission and reception. This is standard for most network devices, such as switches and routers, that require a dedicated path for both sending and receiving signals.
Yes, provided your transceivers are compatible with OM3 multimode fiber and use SC and LC interfaces. It is fully capable of supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds at the 50-meter length of this cable.
The aqua color is the industry-standard jacket color for OM3 multimode fiber. It allows technicians to quickly identify the cable type in a crowded server rack or patch panel, preventing accidental connection of incompatible fiber modes.
