Deployment / Use Cases
This MPO-to-MPO patch cable is ideal for connecting network equipment in environments where high-density fiber connectivity is essential. The 9.8 ft (3 m) length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack or within-rack connections without excessive cable slack.
Common deployment scenarios include data center interconnects between switches and patch panels, backbone links in enterprise networks, and connections to media converters for fiber-to-copper transitions. The cable's compatibility with network devices, routers, and switches makes it a versatile solution for expanding or maintaining fiber optic infrastructure.
Data Center Applications
Connect high-density switch panels to fiber distribution frames, supporting 40G and 100G Ethernet deployments with parallel optics technology.
Enterprise Network Backbone
Establish reliable fiber links between network closets or floors, leveraging OM3 multi-mode performance for campus-wide connectivity.
Physical Profile
The cable features a durable aqua-colored jacket that visually identifies it as OM3 multi-mode fiber. With an approximate weight of 6.40 oz (181.44 g), the cable remains lightweight for easy handling during installation while maintaining the robustness needed for permanent infrastructure deployments.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 6.40 oz (181.44 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

FAQ
What type of connectors does this fiber patch cable have?
This cable features MPO/UPC male connectors on both ends. Each connector terminates 12 fibers in a single compact interface, providing high-density connectivity for network equipment. The UPC polish ensures low insertion loss for reliable signal transmission in multi-mode applications.
What is the cable length and why is 9.8 ft (3 m) useful?
The cable measures 9.8 ft (3 m) in length. This medium-length patch cable is ideal for connecting equipment within the same rack or between adjacent racks in data center environments. It provides sufficient reach for tidy cable management without creating excessive slack that can complicate organization and airflow.
What does OM3 fiber category mean for this cable?
OM3 indicates this is laser-optimized 50/125 µm multi-mode fiber capable of supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet at distances up to 300 meters and 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet at shorter distances. OM3 fiber provides enhanced bandwidth performance compared to earlier OM1 and OM2 standards, making it suitable for modern high-speed network applications.
What is the significance of the OFNR riser-rated jacket?
OFNR stands for Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser-rated. This jacket rating means the cable meets fire safety standards for installation in vertical riser applications, such as between floors in building shafts. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) material minimizes toxic smoke and corrosive gas emissions during a fire, enhancing safety for occupants and equipment.
What devices is this cable compatible with?
This MPO-to-MPO patch cable is compatible with network devices, patch panels, routers, media converters, and switches that feature MPO interfaces. It supports connections in data centers, enterprise networks, and telecommunications infrastructure where high-density fiber connectivity is required for backbone or interconnect applications.
What warranty comes with this fiber patch cable?
