Product Features
Technical Overview
This fanout cable utilizes 50/125 µm OM3 multi-mode fiber, optimized for laser-based systems to deliver reliable performance in Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and other high-bandwidth applications. The Physical Contact (PC) polish on connectors minimizes insertion loss and back reflection, ensuring signal integrity across connections.
The cable features a riser-rated OFNR jacket with low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) materials, meeting safety standards for use in plenum spaces and reducing toxic fume emissions in case of fire. Its lightweight design at 6.40 oz simplifies handling and installation without compromising robustness.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Characteristic, Fiber Optic Mode, Color Family, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

FAQ
What devices is this fiber optic cable compatible with?
This cable is designed for use with a variety of network devices, including routers, hubs, switches, patch panels, and media converters. Its MPO to LC fanout configuration makes it ideal for high-density environments where multiple connections need to be consolidated into a single cable run.
What is the difference between OM3 and other fiber categories?
OM3 is a laser-optimized multi-mode fiber category that supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 300 meters. It uses 50/125 µm core/cladding and is designed for high-bandwidth applications, offering better performance over distance compared to OM1 or OM2 fibers, making it suitable for data centers and enterprise networks.
Can this cable be used in riser applications?
Yes, this cable features a riser-rated OFNR jacket with LSZH materials, making it compliant for vertical installations between floors in buildings. The riser rating ensures safety by reducing flame spread and toxic fume emissions, meeting standard requirements for plenum spaces.
What does Physical Contact (PC) polish mean for connectors?
Physical Contact polish refers to a connector finishing technique that creates a smooth, rounded endface to minimize air gaps between fibers. This reduces insertion loss and back reflection, improving signal integrity and reliability in high-speed fiber optic networks.
How many fibers does this fanout cable support?
This cable supports 12 fibers, arranged as six duplex LC connections from a single MPO connector. It uses multi-mode fiber with a 50/125 µm core/cladding specification, enabling efficient data transmission for applications like Gigabit Ethernet or Fibre Channel.
What is the warranty coverage for this product?
AddOn provides a lifetime limited warranty for this fiber optic cable, covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. This warranty ensures long-term reliability and support, making it a dependable choice for critical network infrastructure investments.
