Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary application for an OM3 fiber optic cable?
OM3 fiber is primarily used for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications over distances up to 300 meters, and can support 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet over shorter distances, making it ideal for data center and server room interconnects.
Why is an LSZH jacket important for this fiber cable?
An LSZH (Low-Smoke, Zero-Halogen) jacket is critical for safety in commercial and data center environments. In the event of a fire, it emits significantly less smoke and no toxic halogen gases, protecting personnel and sensitive electronic equipment.
Can this 1m LC-LC cable be used with SFP+ transceivers?
Yes, this OM3 LC-LC fiber cable is fully compatible with SFP+ transceivers designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet multimode fiber, providing a reliable link for connecting switches, servers, and storage devices.
What is the difference between OM3 and OM4 fiber?
Both OM3 and OM4 are laser-optimized multimode fibers. OM4 offers extended reach for 10GbE (up to 400m vs. 300m for OM3) and 100GbE (up to 150m vs. 100m for OM3), providing greater flexibility for longer runs within a data center.
