FAQ
What is the data transfer rate supported by this fiber optic cable?
This cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s (10 gigabits per second), making it suitable for high-speed networking applications including 10Gb Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and other protocols compatible with OM3 multimode fiber specifications.
What types of connectors does this cable have on each end?
The cable features LC connectors on one end and ST connectors on the other. Specifically, it has 2 x LC Network - Male connectors on the first end and 2 x ST Network - Male connectors on the second end, providing a duplex connection for bidirectional data transmission.
What is the cable length and why is 9.8ft (3m) useful?
The cable measures 9.8 feet (3 meters) in length. This distance is ideal for most data center and server room applications, providing sufficient reach for connections between adjacent racks, within the same rack, or between equipment in close proximity while minimizing excess cable that can create management challenges.
What does OM3 rating mean for this fiber optic cable?
OM3 is a specification for laser-optimized 50/125 µm multimode fiber that supports 10 gigabit Ethernet at distances up to 300 meters. This rating ensures the cable meets industry standards for high-speed data transmission and is backward compatible with existing 50/125 equipment while providing enhanced performance for modern networking requirements.
What are the durability features of this cable?
The cable features a PVC jacket with crush-resistant, impact-resistant, and flex-resistant properties. This construction protects the internal fiber strands from physical damage during installation and use, maintaining signal integrity in demanding environments where cables may be routed through tight spaces or subjected to incidental pressure.
Is this cable environmentally compliant and what warranty does it include?
Yes, this cable is RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant and environmentally friendly. It comes with a lifetime warranty from C2G, providing long-term assurance of quality and reliability for your networking infrastructure investment.
