BlueOptics Duplex Fibre Optic Patch Cable ST-ST Multimode OM3 30 metres

The BlueOptics Duplex Fibre Optic Patch Cable ST-ST Multimode OM3 30 metres is a high-performance fibre optic cable designed for reliable data transmission in enterprise networks, data centres, and telecommunications. With ST connectors on both ends and OM3 multimode fibre, this cable supports high-speed applications such as Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet over distances up to 30 metres.

Advantages

This cable offers low insertion loss and high return loss, ensuring minimal signal degradation and reliable performance. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket provides enhanced safety in confined spaces, reducing toxic fumes in case of fire. The aqua jacket colour makes it easy to identify as OM3 fibre.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-SX)
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBASE-SR)
• Fibre Channel (1/2/4/8/16 GFC)
• Data centre interconnects
• Storage area networks (SAN)
