2m OM3 ST to ST UPC Duplex Corning Fiber Optic Cable Multimode 50/125 LSZH/OFNR Rated, Aqua

The OM3 ST/ST 10Gb Multimode Fiber Optic Cable is a high-performance networking solution designed for demanding enterprise and data center environments. This premium-grade cable features a 50/125µm core/cladding diameter, optimized for high-speed data transmission in short to medium-range applications.

Engineered to support 10Gb Ethernet up to 300 meters and 40/100Gb Ethernet up to 100 meters, this cable is ideal for high-throughput scenarios where reliability and speed are paramount. The ST connectors, known for their robust bayonet mount and locking system, provide a secure connection that resists accidental disconnections, ensuring consistent performance in mission-critical operations.

The cable's aqua-colored LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) and OFNR (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser) rated jacket not only aids in easy identification but also complies with strict fire safety standards. This makes it particularly suitable for vertical riser installations between floors in buildings, offering enhanced safety in the event of a fire by minimizing toxic and corrosive gas emissions.

Constructed with high-quality Corning® glass, this OM3 fiber cable delivers exceptional optical performance. Its 50µm core is optimized for use with both LED and VCSEL laser light sources, providing versatility across various optical transmission systems. The cable's backward compatibility with LED-based 50/125 multimode fiber applications ensures seamless integration with existing network infrastructures.

Each duplex cable contains two strands of fiber, facilitating bidirectional communication. The UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) polishing on both ends minimizes back reflections and insertion loss, with typical values of < 0.3 dB for insertion loss and > 35 dB for return loss. These specifications ensure clean, efficient signal transmission crucial for high-speed data applications.

Quality assurance is paramount, with each cable package including a detailed test report. The UL listing further attests to the cable's adherence to industry standards and safety requirements. Whether deployed in sprawling data centers, complex enterprise networks, or educational campus infrastructures, this OM3 ST/ST fiber cable delivers the performance and reliability needed for today's high-speed, data-intensive environments.

For network administrators and IT professionals seeking a future-proof solution, this OM3 multimode fiber cable offers the bandwidth capacity to support current 10Gb applications while providing a clear upgrade path to 40Gb and 100Gb speeds. Its durability, performance, and compliance with industry standards make it an excellent choice for organizations looking to build or upgrade their fiber optic infrastructure with confidence.
