FAQ
What types of network devices is this fiber optic cable compatible with?
This cable is compatible with network devices featuring LC or ST fiber optic interfaces, including switches, routers, servers, and storage equipment. The multimode OM3 specification ensures compatibility with 10 Gigabit Ethernet equipment and other high-speed networking devices that support 50/125 µm multimode fiber.
What is the difference between LC and ST connectors on this cable?
LC connectors are small form-factor connectors commonly used in high-density equipment, while ST connectors are bayonet-style connectors often found in older or specific networking equipment. This cable provides two LC male connectors on one end and two ST male connectors on the other, offering flexibility to connect devices with different interface types.
What does the OM3 rating mean for this fiber optic cable?
OM3 is a laser-optimized multimode fiber specification that supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet transmission at distances up to 300 meters. This rating indicates the cable is engineered for high-performance applications with lower modal dispersion than previous multimode standards, ensuring reliable data transfer at 10 Gbit/s speeds.
