Extended Product Information

FAQs

What does OM3 refer to?

OM3 refers to a category of multimode fiber optic cable designed for higher bandwidth and longer reach compared to older OM1 and OM2 cables. It is optimized for laser-based transmission systems.

Is this cable suitable for single-mode applications?

No, this is an OM3 *multimode* fiber optic cable. It is not compatible with single-mode equipment, which requires a different type of fiber and connectors.

What is the maximum reliable distance for this cable at high speeds?

For 10 Gigabit Ethernet, OM3 fiber can reliably support distances up to 300 meters. For lower speeds like 1 Gigabit Ethernet, it can support longer distances.

How do I clean the LC connectors?

Use a specialized fiber optic cleaning tool, such as a one-click cleaner or a lint-free wipe with an appropriate cleaning solvent, specifically designed for fiber optic connectors. Ensure the connector is clean before plugging it in.

What does LS0H mean for the cable?

LS0H stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen. This indicates that the cable's outer jacket is made from materials that emit very low smoke and no toxic halogenated compounds when burned, improving safety in enclosed spaces.

Can I use this cable outdoors?

This specific cable is designed for indoor use in telecommunications and data networking environments. For outdoor use, specialized outdoor-rated fiber optic cables with appropriate protection against environmental factors are required.

What is the warranty period for this cable?

The product comes with a 10-year warranty, providing long-term assurance of its quality and performance.

Troubleshooting

No connection or intermittent signal loss

Ensure connectors are fully seated and latched. Check for dust or debris on the connector ends and clean if necessary. Verify that both connected devices are LC duplex compatible and configured for multimode operation. Test with a known good cable if possible.

Slow data transfer speeds

Confirm that the connected devices and network infrastructure support the expected speeds (e.g., 10 Gbps). Check the overall network for congestion or faulty equipment. Ensure the cable is not damaged or kinked, which can degrade performance.

Connector difficult to insert or remove

Do not force the connector. Ensure the port is clear of obstructions and that you are using an LC connector. If difficulty persists, inspect the port and connector for damage. Contact support if the issue cannot be resolved.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High bandwidth capacity suitable for modern data demands.
  • Durable ceramic connectors ensure reliable, low-loss connections.
  • Immune to EMI, ideal for noisy electrical environments.
  • LS0H cable offers improved safety.
  • Full duplex capability maximizes data transfer efficiency.

Cons

  • Multimode fiber (OM3) has distance limitations compared to single-mode.
  • Requires compatible LC connectors on connected devices.
  • Not suitable for applications requiring single-mode fiber transmission.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Connect the LC male connectors to the corresponding LC ports on your network equipment, such as switches, routers, or servers. Ensure a secure click upon insertion. The cable supports full duplex operation, so connect it to devices capable of simultaneous transmission and reception.

Compatibility: This OM3 multimode fiber optic cable is compatible with all standard fiber optic equipment featuring LC duplex connectors. It is designed for use with network devices that support multimode transmission, such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and InfiniBand.

Care: Store the cable away from excessive heat, moisture, and sharp bends. When not in use, protect the connector ends with dust caps to prevent contamination. Clean connectors only with approved fiber optic cleaning tools and solutions to avoid damaging the ceramic ferrule. Avoid pulling the cable by the connectors; always grasp the cable jacket.
