Price range: $24.80 through $31.89
This OM3 LC to LC simplex fiber jumper cable is designed for high-speed optical connectivity in modern enterprise and data center environments. Equipped with compact LC connectors on both ends and a flexible 2.0Â mm aqua jacket, this cable is ideal for connecting switches, SFP modules, media converters, and fiber patch panels. The OM3 laser-optimized fiber core supports demanding 10Â Gbps network applications while maintaining excellent signal integrity.
| Fiber Type | Jacket Color | Core Size | Typical Speed | Distance | Best Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| OM1 | Orange | 62.5 µm | 1 Gbps | ~275 m | Legacy networks |
| OM2 | Orange | 50 µm | 1 Gbps | ~550 m | Enterprise networks |
| OM3 | Aqua | 50 µm (laser optimized) | 10 Gbps | ~300 m | Modern data centers |
| OM4 | Erika Violet | 50 µm (advanced laser optimized) | 10–100 Gbps+ | ~550 m (10G) ~150 m (40/100G) |
