Price range: $38.76 through $49.40
This OM3 LC to LC duplex fiber jumper cable is designed for high-speed network environments requiring dependable multi-mode optical connectivity. Featuring compact LC connectors on both ends and a flexible 2.0Â mm aqua jacket, this cable is ideal for high-density patch panels, switches, and optical transceivers. OM3 fiber supports demanding 10Â Gbps data center applications while maintaining excellent signal integrity over typical data center distances.
| 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 fiber supports faster speeds and longer reach for modern high-bandwidth networking environments.
