OM3 LC/LC duplex multimode cable

This OM3 multi-mode fibre cable uses LC/LC duplex connectors and a 50/125 µm core to carry 10 Gb signals up to 300 m, 40 Gb and 100 Gb up to 100 m. It is built for high-throughput links in data centres and campus networks. The aqua PVC jacket is OFNR riser rated for vertical runs between floors.

UPC polish and insertion loss limits

Each end is polished to UPC finish, giving insertion loss below .3 dB and return loss above 35 dB at 850 nm. The 2.0 mm jacket protects two fibres while keeping the cable flexible enough for dense patch panels. LED and VCSEL laser sources are both supported.

6.56 ft length and density fit

At 6.56 ft the assembly suits rack-to-rack or switch-to-server connections inside a single cabinet. It will not reach between distant racks or across larger rooms without additional length. Buyers who need longer spans or single-mode distances should select a different cable.

Questions about this item

This cable is 6.56 ft — would a longer or shorter OM3 duplex run change the 10 Gb, 40 Gb or 100 Gb reach?

OM3 supports 10 Gb up to 300 meters, 40 Gb and 100 Gb up to 100 meters; this 2-metre assembly is well inside those limits so length choice does not reduce the rated speeds.

What does the 10 Gb headline speed mean once the cable is installed in a live link?

With insertion loss below .3 dB and return loss above 35 dB, the link will sustain 10 Gb Ethernet over the full 300-metre OM3 budget, and 40 Gb or 100 Gb up to 100 metres.

The connectors are LC/UPC — what does that cap in practice for density and polish performance?

Dual LC/UPC ferrules give low-loss mating in high-density panels; UPC polish keeps return loss above 35 dB, meeting OM3 requirements for VCSEL and LED sources.
