Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between OM3 and OM4 fiber?
OM3 fiber supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 300 meters, while OM4 extends this to 400 meters. Both are multimode, but OM4 offers slightly better performance over longer distances for 10GbE applications.
Can this cable be used with 1 Gigabit Ethernet equipment?
Yes, this OM3 10GbE cable is backward compatible with 1 Gigabit Ethernet equipment. It will operate at the lower speed, providing a future-proof cabling solution for network upgrades.
Why is an LSZH jacket important for this fiber cable?
An LSZH jacket is crucial for safety in enclosed spaces like data centers and office buildings. In a fire, it emits minimal smoke and no halogen, reducing harm to personnel and preventing corrosion of sensitive equipment.
What devices are typically connected using an LC/LC OM3 fiber cable?
This cable is commonly used to connect network switches, routers, SFP+ transceivers, fiber patch panels, and storage area network (SAN) components that require LC-terminated 10 Gigabit multimode fiber.
