- 12-fiber MPO interface
- Space-efficient design
- Simplified cable management
Safety-Compliant Construction
The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket material minimizes toxic fumes and smoke emission, meeting stringent safety requirements for commercial installations.
- Reduced smoke emission
- Low toxicity
- Plenum and riser rated
Deployment / Use Cases
This MPO/MPO patch cable is ideal for connecting MPO-based network equipment in data centers, enterprise network backbones, and high-density switching environments. The 15-meter length provides flexibility for intermediate-distance connections between racks or equipment within the same room or adjacent spaces.
Common applications include connecting fiber patch panels to switches, linking parallel optics transceivers, and establishing backbone connections between network distribution frames. The riser-rated jacket makes it suitable for vertical installations between building floors in compliant commercial structures.
Data Center Interconnects
Connect MPO-based switches, routers, and storage area network (SAN) equipment in high-density data center environments where space optimization is critical.
Enterprise Backbone Links
Establish reliable fiber connections between network distribution frames, supporting 10GbE and other high-speed protocols across building infrastructure.
Physical Profile
The cable features a durable aqua-colored jacket that clearly identifies it as OM3 multimode fiber. With a weight of approximately 9.6 ounces (272 grams), the cable remains manageable during installation while providing sufficient protection for the internal fiber strands. The LSZH/PVC jacket material offers flexibility for routing through conduits and cable trays without compromising durability.

FAQ
What type of connectors does this fiber cable have on both ends?
This cable features identical MPO (Multi-fiber Push-On) female connectors on both ends. Each connector terminates 12 fibers in a single interface, providing a straightforward MPO-to-MPO connection for high-density network environments. The female connectors are designed to mate with corresponding MPO male interfaces on network equipment.
What is the maximum data rate supported by this OM3 fiber cable?
The OM3 50/125 µm multimode fiber in this cable is laser-optimized to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet at distances up to 300 meters. OM3 fiber is designed for high-speed applications and can also support 40GbE and 100GbE using parallel optics or wavelength division multiplexing technologies over shorter distances appropriate for data center environments.
Can this cable be used in vertical riser applications between building floors?
Yes, this cable features an OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) rated jacket, which certifies it for use in vertical riser applications. The riser rating indicates the cable meets fire safety standards for vertical runs between floors in commercial buildings, making it suitable for backbone installations that traverse multiple levels.
What does the LSZH jacket designation mean for installation safety?
LSZH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen, indicating the jacket material produces minimal smoke and no halogen gases when exposed to fire. This enhances safety during fire incidents by reducing toxic fumes and improving visibility for evacuation. LSZH cables are often required in enclosed spaces, public buildings, and areas with limited ventilation.
How many individual fibers are contained within this MPO cable?
This MPO patch cable contains 12 individual optical fibers within a single cable jacket. All 12 fibers are terminated in the MPO connectors at each end, allowing simultaneous transmission across multiple channels. The 12-fiber configuration is common for parallel optics applications and high-density connectivity in modern network environments.
What warranty coverage does AddOn provide for this fiber patch cable?
AddOn provides a 3-year limited warranty for this fiber patch cable. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions. The warranty period begins from the date of purchase and provides assurance of product quality and reliability for network infrastructure deployments.
