Product Features
Technical Overview
This fiber optic cable is engineered to support 10 Gbit/s data transfer rates, making it suitable for high-speed networking applications that require low latency and high bandwidth. The multimode fiber optic design utilizes OM3-grade glass, which is optimized for use with 850 nm VCSEL light sources and supports distances up to 300 meters at 10 GbE speeds.
The cable features a duplex construction with two separate fibers for simultaneous bidirectional data transmission. Each end is terminated with industry-standard connectors: two SC male connectors on the first end and two LC male connectors on the second end, providing a secure physical connection that minimizes signal loss and reflection.
Key Product Advantages
This Axiom fiber optic cable delivers several important benefits for network infrastructure deployments. The combination of SC and LC connectors provides flexibility in connecting different types of network equipment, while the OM3 rating ensures reliable performance in 10 Gigabit Ethernet environments.

FAQ
What types of network equipment is this fiber optic cable compatible with?
This Axiom fiber optic cable is compatible with any network device that features SC or LC fiber optic ports, including switches, routers, media converters, and storage arrays. The SC to LC configuration allows you to connect equipment with different interface types without requiring additional adapters, making it versatile for mixed-environment deployments.
What is the maximum data transfer rate supported by this cable?
This cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s (10 Gigabit per second). It utilizes OM3-rated multimode fiber optic technology that is specifically designed to handle 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications with reliable performance over distances appropriate for data center and enterprise networking environments.
How does the duplex construction benefit network performance?
The duplex construction includes two separate fibers within the cable, allowing simultaneous bidirectional data transmission. This enables full-duplex communication where data can flow in both directions at the same time, effectively doubling the available bandwidth compared to simplex configurations and eliminating collisions in network traffic.
What is the significance of the OM3 rating on this fiber optic cable?
The OM3 rating indicates that this cable meets specific performance standards for laser-optimized multimode fiber. OM3 cables are designed to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet at distances up to 300 meters and are optimized for use with 850 nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) sources, providing reliable high-speed performance in modern data center applications.
