Collection: Multimode OM3 Fiber Patch Cables

Fiber Optic Patch Cords are short-distance fiber optic cables capped with connectors at both ends in order to facilitate the connection between devices within a limited distance. Fiber Patch Cables are commonly used with patch panels, optical switches, and/or telco equipment. There are different types of fiber employed, such as single-mode and multimode variations. Available connectors are LC, SC, or ST with PC, UPC, and APC polish types.

Multimode 50/125, 10 Gig (OM3, with similar specs to Multimode OM1 fiber optic cable, has improved glass clarity as well as speed over OM1, being capable of 10 Gig+ speeds of up to 300 meters (984.252 ft).

Multimode OM3 fiber patch cables are a type of optical fiber cable designed for high-speed data transmission in local area networks (LANs) and data centers. The 'multimode' designation refers to the fact that these cables can carry multiple light signals simultaneously, each traveling through a different pathway or 'mode' within the cable. This capability allows for increased data throughput and reduced latency compared to single-mode fiber cables.

The 'OM3' designation refers to the specific type of multimode fiber used in these cables. OM3 fiber is characterized by its 50/125 micron construction, which consists of a 50-micron diameter core surrounded by a 125-micron diameter cladding. This design allows for the transmission of multiple light signals at different wavelengths, further enhancing the cable's data transmission capabilities.
