Overview
Key Features
Uniboot design allows two fibers to be carried inside a single jacket, improving airflow and cable management in tight spaces. Easily reverse the polarity without any tools.
High quality OM3 multi-mode fiber cable with LC/LC connectors is perfect for high-throughput applications. Supports 10Gb to distances up to 300 meters, and 40Gb and 100Gb up to 100 meters.
Effective Modal Bandwidth (EMB) of 2000 MHz/km at 850nm. OFNR (riser) rated fiber cable is ideal for use in upright shafts that run between floors in commercial class buildings.
The small LC connector is perfect for high density network applications.
Use with LED and VCSEL laser light sources. Backward compatible with LED-based 50/125 multi-mode fiber applications.
Specifications
Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Uniboot design reduces cable volume by 50% for better airflow in dense rack environments
- Reverse polarity configuration simplifies polarity management in structured cabling systems
- OM3 multimode fiber supports 10G Ethernet up to 300 meters
- UL listed for compliance with safety and quality standards
👎 Cons
- Reverse polarity connectors are not compatible with standard polarity patch panels without adapters
- 10-meter fixed length may be too long or too short for specific rack-to-rack runs
- OM3 is limited to shorter distances at 40G and 100G compared to OM4 or single-mode fiber
