Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber patch cable operates on OM3 multi-mode technology, delivering bandwidth up to 10 Gbps over distances suitable for most enterprise network backbones. The 50/125 µm fiber specification ensures compatibility with standard multi-mode transceivers and equipment, while the 12 individual fibers within the MPO connector support parallel optic applications for increased throughput. The cable's construction includes precision-polished UPC connectors that minimize insertion loss and back reflection for optimal signal quality.
The jacket system combines polyvinyl chloride (PVC) with LSZH materials, providing both durability and fire safety compliance. This dual-material approach allows the cable to achieve OFNR riser rating for vertical runs between floors, as well as plenum (OFNP) suitability when installed in air-handling spaces. The aqua color coding follows industry standards for easy identification of OM3 multi-mode cables in complex cabling infrastructures.
Key Product Advantages
This cable simplifies high-density fiber deployments by providing a direct MPO-to-MPO connection without intermediate components. The integrated 12-fiber design reduces cabling clutter and potential failure points compared to multiple single-fiber patch cords. Its riser-rated construction ensures code compliance for vertical installations, while the LSZH materials enhance safety in occupied spaces by minimizing toxic smoke emissions during fire events.
Direct MPO Connectivity
Eliminates the need for separate MPO cassettes or breakout modules when connecting compatible network devices, reducing both cost and complexity in fiber channel setups.
- Female MPO connectors on both ends
- Maintains proper fiber alignment
- Supports parallel optic configurations
Safety-Compliant Construction
The OFNR riser-rated jacket with LSZH materials meets stringent fire safety standards for commercial buildings and data centers, allowing installation in plenum spaces and vertical risers.
- Low smoke zero halogen formulation
- Reduced toxic fume emission
- Compliant with building codes
Deployment / Use Cases
This MPO patch cable is primarily deployed in data centers and enterprise network environments where high-density fiber connectivity is required. It serves as an ideal solution for connecting MPO-based transceivers on switches, routers, or storage area network (SAN) equipment, particularly in 40G and 100G Ethernet applications that utilize parallel optics. The 20-meter length provides sufficient reach for cross-connect scenarios between equipment racks or across server room aisles.
Common applications include backbone connections between main distribution and intermediate distribution frames, direct device-to-device links in high-performance computing clusters, and infrastructure for fiber channel storage networks. The cable's riser rating makes it suitable for vertical runs between building floors in multi-story installations, while the aqua color ensures quick visual identification during maintenance or troubleshooting procedures.
Data Center Interconnects
Connect top-of-rack switches to aggregation switches or core routers using MPO interfaces, supporting high-bandwidth applications like server virtualization and cloud infrastructure.
SAN and NAS Connectivity
Establish reliable fiber channel links between storage arrays and servers in storage area networks, leveraging the 12-fiber capacity for redundant data paths.

FAQ
What type of connectors does this fiber cable have on both ends?
Both ends feature MPO Network female connectors, specifically 1 x MPO Network - Female on each end. This configuration provides a direct MPO-to-MPO connection suitable for high-density fiber applications without requiring separate adapters or cassettes.
What is the cable length and how is it measured?
The cable is 20 meters long, which equals 65.6 feet. This length provides sufficient reach for typical data center deployments between equipment racks or across server room aisles while maintaining signal integrity for OM3 multi-mode fiber.
What does OM3 fiber category mean for this cable?
OM3 indicates the cable meets specifications for laser-optimized 50/125 µm multi-mode fiber capable of supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet at distances up to 300 meters. This category ensures compatibility with standard multi-mode transceivers and equipment in enterprise network environments.
What jacket ratings does this cable have and where can it be installed?
The cable jacket is rated for OFNP (plenum), OFNR (riser), and LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) applications. This allows installation in air-handling plenum spaces, vertical risers between floors, and commercial buildings where fire safety and reduced toxic fume emissions are priorities.
How many individual fibers are inside this MPO cable?
The cable contains 12 individual fiber strands within the MPO connector housing. This 12-fiber configuration supports parallel optic applications common in 40G and 100G Ethernet implementations, allowing multiple data channels to transmit simultaneously.
What warranty comes with this fiber patch cable?
AddOn provides a 3-year lifetime warranty for this cable, covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. This warranty period reflects the product's durability and reliability expectations for continuous operation in network environments.
