Each patch cable comes with a test report and an ID number. The patch cables have a diameter of 50/125 µm. Our RS Pro OM3 and OM2 fiber optic patch cables allow new VCSEL-based hardware and older LED-based hardware to coexist in your system. They are considered the pinnacle of multimode fiber systems.

Features and Benefits:

• Duplex patch cable
• 50/125 µm LSOH sheath
• 3 mm MTRJ also available in a mini-zip version
• OM2 (orange) and OM3 (purple) fiber quality
• Split length: 15 cm ± 5 cm

Typical Applications:

• Used in 10-Gigabit, Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and FDDI networks
• Suitable for applications in local area networks
• The fibers support a variety of communication protocols such as Token Ring, video, and voice services
• Commonly used in telecommunications

How does a fiber optic cable work?
Fiber optic cables transmit communication signals using light pulses generated by small lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The cable consists of one or more strands that are about the size of a human hair. The center of each strand is called the core, which provides the pathway for the light. The core is surrounded by a glass layer that reflects the light inward to avoid signal loss and allows the light to pass through bends in the cable.
