6 ft OM3 duplex fibre patch cable

This 6 ft duplex patch cable uses OM3 50/125 µm multimode fibre with LC connectors on both ends. It is built for 10 Gb Ethernet links and Fibre Channel SAN connections in LAN and data-centre environments. The aqua jacket identifies the OM3 laser-optimised grade.

Sustained 10 Gb throughput to 300 metres

The cable supports 10 Gb serial transmission at 850 nm over distances up to 300 metres when paired with VCSEL or LED sources. OM3 construction provides nearly three times the bandwidth of legacy 62.5 µm multimode fibre, maintaining signal integrity across the full rated reach.

OM3 reach and legacy compatibility

Practical link length is limited to the 300 metre OM3 specification at 10 Gb speeds; longer runs would require singlemode fibre or a lower data rate. The cable is backward compatible with existing multimode LAN infrastructure, but it does not support singlemode-only equipment or distances beyond the OM3 rating.

Questions about this item

Does the 10 Gb duplex OM3 cable generate heat or noise when running continuously?

The Tripp Lite N820-02M is a passive fibre patch cable with no active electronics, so it produces no heat and no noise during all-day operation.

What equipment must I already have to use the LC/LC connectors on this 6 ft patch lead?

You need two devices — such as switches, servers or storage arrays — each fitted with an LC transceiver or fixed LC port that accepts 50/125 µm multimode fibre.

Will this OM3 aqua cable work with my existing 62.5 µm legacy LAN links?

Yes, the cable is backward compatible with 62.5 µm multimode networks, though the link will operate at the lower bandwidth and distance limits of the older fibre.
