Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary advantage of an OM3 fiber cable over OM1 or OM2?
OM3 fiber is optimized for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, supporting 10 Gbps over distances up to 300 meters, significantly outperforming OM1 and OM2 which are typically limited to 1 Gbps or shorter 10 Gbps runs. This ensures future-proof high-speed network performance.
Why is an LSZH jacket important for this fiber patch cable?
An LSZH jacket is crucial for safety in data centers and office buildings as it emits minimal smoke and no toxic halogen gases if exposed to fire. This helps protect personnel, sensitive equipment, and ensures compliance with strict building and safety codes.
Can this LC to SC cable be used with SFP+ transceivers?
Yes, this cable is designed to connect devices with LC ports (common on SFP+ transceivers) to devices with SC ports, facilitating 10 Gigabit fiber links between compatible networking equipment.
What is the core and cladding diameter of this fiber cable?
This OM3 fiber cable features a core diameter of 50 µm and a cladding diameter of 125 µm, which is the standard specification for multimode fiber designed for 10 Gigabit applications.
