Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between OM3 and OM4 fiber?
OM3 fiber, like this cable, supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 300 meters and 100 Gbit/s up to 100 meters. OM4 fiber offers extended reach for 10GbE up to 550 meters and 100 Gbit/s up to 150 meters, providing greater distance capabilities for high-speed links.
Can this cable be used for 1 Gigabit Ethernet connections?
Yes, this OM3 fiber optic cable is fully backward compatible and can be used for 1 Gigabit Ethernet connections. While optimized for 10 Gigabit and 100 Gbit/s, it will function reliably at lower speeds.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
No, this cable features an LSZH jacket designed for indoor use in environments like data centers and server rooms. It is not rated for outdoor exposure to UV, moisture, or extreme temperatures.
What type of transceivers are compatible with this cable?
This OM3 LC to LC cable is compatible with multimode fiber transceivers that use LC connectors, such as SFP+ for 10GbE, QSFP+ for 40GbE, and QSFP28 for 100GbE, operating at 850 nm wavelengths.
