OM3 LC duplex cable for 10Gb links
This three-metre OM3 multimode cable uses LC connectors on both ends to link switches, transceivers or patch panels in data-centre and enterprise racks. The 50/125 micron fibre supports 10Gb Ethernet up to 300 metres, so the short length leaves ample margin for rack-to-rack runs. UPC polish keeps insertion loss below .3 dB and return loss above 35 dB. Aqua PVC jacket is OFNR rated for riser pathways.
OFNR riser jacket and UPC polish
The OFNR rating allows installation in vertical shafts between floors without additional fire-barrier measures. UPC end-face polish on both LC ferrules reduces back-reflection for LED and VCSEL sources, protecting transceiver sensitivity. Duplex zip-cord construction with 2.0 mm outer diameter eases routing in high-density panels. Backward compatibility with legacy 50/125 LED systems protects existing infrastructure investment.
10Gb 300m headroom and 40Gb 100m limit
At 9.8ft the cable introduces negligible attenuation, leaving the full 300 metre 10Gb budget available for the remaining link. Effective modal bandwidth of 2000 MHz/km at 850nm also supports 40Gb and 100Gb Ethernet up to 100 metres. Builders needing longer 40Gb or 100Gb reaches, or single-mode distances beyond 300 metres, must select a different fibre type.

Questions about this item
Will the LC connectors or PVC jacket need periodic replacement in a riser installation?
The cable uses UPC-polished LC connectors rated for <0.3 dB insertion loss and >35 dB return loss, with an OFNR-rated PVC jacket; both are designed for permanent riser runs and have no scheduled replacement interval.
What bandwidth-distance limit appears first when running 40Gb or 100Gb links continuously?
OM3 fibre with 2000 MHz/km EMB at 850 nm supports 40Gb and 100Gb up to 100 metres; beyond that distance modal dispersion becomes the limiting factor.
Does the 2.0 mm aqua jacket or the LC ferrules generate noticeable heat or require extra power during all-day 10Gb operation?
Passive fibre carries light only; the 50/125 µm cores and LC ferrules produce no heat and draw no power, so a 3-metre run adds zero thermal load to the rack.
