Price range: $24.57 through $31.58
This OM3 LC to ST simplex fiber cable provides reliable high-bandwidth connectivity for enterprise and data center fiber networks. Featuring a compact LC connector on one end and a durable bayonet-style ST connector on the other, this cable is ideal for linking modern high-density fiber equipment with legacy ST-based infrastructure. The rugged 2.0 mm aqua jacket protects the optical fiber 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 high-speed enterprise backbones, patching, and data center interconnects.
