OM3 Multimode Cables

OM3 Multimode Fiber Optic Cables – LC/SC/FC/ST Simplex & Duplex

Overview

NS OM3 Multimode Fiber Optic Cables provide cost-effective, high-bandwidth connectivity for short-reach networking applications such as 10G SR, 10G LRM, 40G SR4, and 100G SR4. Built with bend-insensitive 50/125 μm multimode fiber and LC/SC/FC/ST connectors, these patch cords are ideal for data center access layers, aggregation switches, ESX hosts, and patch panel interconnects.

OM3 fiber supports 10G transmission up to 300 m at 850 nm and is fully compatible with all SR/SFP+/QSFP+ multimode optics.
