Price range: $45.84 through $56.43
This OM3 SC to SC duplex fiber jumper cable provides reliable high-bandwidth connectivity for enterprise and data center fiber networks. Featuring secure SC connectors on both ends, this cable is ideal for connecting patch panels, transceivers, switches, and other multimode fiber equipment in modern network environments. The rugged 2.0 mm aqua jacket protects the optical fibers while maintaining flexibility for clean routing inside racks, cabinets, and structured cabling systems.
| 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 10 Gbps backbone and patching applications in enterprise and data center networks.
