Product Features
Technical Overview
This cable leverages OM3 multi-mode fiber technology, which is engineered for 10 Gbit/s data transfer rates over distances suitable for most data center and LAN environments. The 50/125 µm core size balances light-gathering capacity with modal dispersion control, supporting stable high-bandwidth connections.
MPO/UPC connectors on both ends feature physical contact (PC) polished interfaces, reducing insertion loss and back reflection for clearer signal transmission. The stranded construction adds durability against bending and flexing during installation and maintenance.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Fiber Optic Mode, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

FAQ
What is the cable length and why is it important?
The cable is 13.1 ft (4 m) long, which is a standard patch cable length suitable for most data center and rack environments. This length allows flexible connections between adjacent racks or within a single rack without excessive slack, simplifying cable management and reducing clutter while maintaining signal integrity over short distances.
What does OM3 fiber category mean for performance?
OM3 is a multi-mode fiber category optimized for 10 Gbit/s Ethernet and other high-speed protocols over distances up to 300 meters. It uses laser-optimized 50/125 µm fibers to support higher bandwidth and lower attenuation compared to older OM1/OM2 grades, making it ideal for data center backbone and enterprise network applications.
Are both ends of this cable the same connector type?
Yes, both ends feature identical MPO Network female connectors with UPC polishing. This MPO/UPC to MPO/UPC configuration is designed for direct point-to-point connections between compatible MPO ports on patch panels, switches, or other network devices, ensuring a consistent and reliable interface.
What is the significance of the riser-rated OFNR jacket?
The riser-rated OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-Conductive Riser) jacket indicates the cable meets fire safety standards for vertical installations in building riser spaces. It resists flame propagation and reduces smoke emission, complying with NEC requirements for use between floors, which enhances safety in enterprise and data center environments.
What devices is this cable compatible with?
This cable is compatible with a wide range of network equipment including patch panels, hubs, switches, media converters, routers, and other MPO-enabled devices. Its standard MPO/UPC interfaces ensure interoperability with most multi-fiber optical systems, supporting both data and telecom applications.
Does this cable support 10 Gbit/s data transfer rates?
Yes, the cable is designed to support data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s. This is achieved through its OM3 multi-mode fiber construction and laser-optimized design, which minimize signal loss and dispersion, making it suitable for high-speed network backbones, storage area networks, and data center interconnects.
