Frequently Asked Questions
What is OM3 multimode fiber and why does it matter?
OM3 is a laser-optimized multimode fiber standard that supports high-speed Ethernet applications up to 400Gb. The 50/125 micron core provides excellent bandwidth over longer distances compared to older OM1/OM2 standards, making it ideal for modern data center infrastructure and future-proof network investments.
Is this fiber patch cable suitable for 10Gb Ethernet applications?
Yes. The N820-10M-TAA 10Gb OM3 fiber patch cable is specifically designed for 10Gb Ethernet and also supports 40Gb, 100Gb, and 400Gb speeds, providing flexibility for current and future network upgrades in enterprise environments.
What does TAA compliant mean?
TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliance ensures the product meets U.S. government procurement standards and is eligible for federal, state, and local government contracts. This certification is essential for organizations serving the public sector.
Why choose OFNP-rated fiber patch cables?
OFNP (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Plenum) rating means the cable meets strict fire safety codes required for installation in plenum spaces (air handling areas above drop ceilings). This ensures compliance with building codes and reduces fire risk in critical infrastructure.
