Frequently Asked Questions
What is OM3 multimode fiber and why does it matter?
OM3 is a multimode fiber standard optimized for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. The 50/125 micron core allows higher bandwidth over longer distances than older OM1 or OM2 cables, making it the standard choice for modern data centers and enterprise networks requiring 10G connectivity.
Can I use this plenum rated cable in non-plenum spaces?
Yes. Plenum rated cables exceed fire safety requirements and can be used in any environment. However, plenum rated cables cost more, so non-plenum alternatives may be suitable for non-air-handling spaces. Always verify local building codes.
How far can this 12 fiber cable transmit 10 Gigabit signals?
OM3 fiber supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 300 meters per IEEE standards. This 150-meter cable provides excellent reach for backbone runs, server room interconnects, and campus network deployments with room for future expansion.
What does SC-UPC connector mean?
SC-UPC refers to the connector type (SC) and polish grade (UPC = Ultra Polished Connector). UPC connectors provide lower insertion loss and return loss compared to standard PC connectors, ensuring reliable signal transmission in high-performance networks.
