Why choose it

OM3 fiber supports 10 Gb/s up to 300 meters, making it suitable for backbone and high-density patching. The LSZH jacket reduces toxic smoke in case of fire, important for enclosed spaces. Duplex construction provides two fibers for bidirectional communication.

Ideal use cases

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in data centers
• Fibre Channel storage area networks
• Backbone connections between switches and patch panels
• High-speed LAN segments

Good to know

LC connectors are small form factor, saving space on high-density panels. SC connectors feature a push-pull locking mechanism for secure connections. The cable is compliant with RoHS and REACH regulations.
