This OM3 ST to ST simplex fiber jumper cable provides reliable high-bandwidth connectivity for enterprise and data center fiber networks. Featuring durable bayonet-style ST connectors on both ends, this cable is ideal for linking legacy fiber equipment, patch panels, and structured cabling systems that use ST connections. The rugged 3.0 mm orange jacket protects the optical fiber while maintaining flexibility for clean routing inside racks, cabinets, and telecom enclosures.
| 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) |
High-performance data centers |
The primary differences between OM1, OM2, OM3, and OM4 multi-mode fiber involve core size, bandwidth capability, supported transmission distance, and maximum data rate. Higher-grade multimode fibers support faster speeds and longer reach for modern high-bandwidth networking environments. OM3 is a strong choice for high-speed enterprise backbones, patching, and data center interconnects.
