FCD 9M OM3 LC LC Fiber Patch Cable for 1g 10g 40g Users

Fiber Cable Description: Introducing the OM3 LC to LC Fiber Patch Cable, measuring 9 meters and designed for high-performance 10Gig applications. This patch cable utilizes Corning's Laser Optimized Multimode Fiber (LOMMF) technology, featuring a core/cladding size of 50/125 microns. With an aqua color and a robust 2.0mm outer diameter, the cable incorporates a zip-cord reinforced jumper for enhanced durability. Its versatility makes it suitable for use in a variety of sectors including education, corporate settings, military/defense, governmental institutions, healthcare, finance, and the broader commercial marketplace.

Fiber Patch Cable Details: This 9-meter (approximately 29.52 feet) patch cable is engineered for multimode applications, supporting data rates of 1, 10, and 40Gb. It is equipped with a duplex configuration, containing two fiber strands, and features 1.25mm ceramic ferrules. The connections are LC-UPC to LC-UPC, ensuring a reliable fiber patch cable/jumper cord setup.

Core and Cladding Specifications: The fiber consists of a 50μm (micron) diameter core surrounded by a 125μm diameter cladding, with the understanding that 1 micron equals one-millionth of a meter. The optical fiber core is enveloped by a special transparent cladding material that has low refractive properties. This design allows light to be contained within the fiber core due to total internal reflection, enabling the fiber assembly to function effectively as a waveguide. As a result, light propagates through the fiber, reflecting off the boundary between the core and the cladding.

Optical Modality Details for OM3 Ethernet Over Multimode Fiber: This multimode fiber cable supports a modal bandwidth of 1500 to 2000 MHz-km at wavelengths of 850nm and 1300nm. It accommodates various Ethernet standards: - For Fast Ethernet (100Base-FX), it can reach distances of 2000 meters. - For 1Gb Ethernet (1000Base-SX), it is effective up to 550 meters, although it requires a mode-conditioning patch cord for optimal performance. - In 10Gb Ethernet applications (10GBase-SR), the cable supports distances of up to 300 meters. - For 40Gb Ethernet (40GBase-SR4), it can stretch up to 100 meters (with a maximum of 330 meters in QSFP+ eSR4 configurations). - Lastly, for 100Gb Ethernet (100GBase-SR10), the supported distance is also 100 meters.

Durable Construction and Warranty: The OM3 LC to LC Fiber Patch Cable is constructed to commercial-grade standards, ensuring durability and cost-effectiveness over time. Fiber Cables Direct provides a 100% lifetime warranty on all fiber cables purchased through their platform, reflecting a commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. This patch cable not only meets the industry standards but also promises longevity and reliability in demanding environments.
