Fibergaga OM3 LC‑to‑LC 100M (328ft) Multimode Patch Cable

Fibergaga 100M OM3 LC to LC multimode duplex fiber patch cable — a 328ft, 50/125µm, 2.0mm LSZH jumper built for reliable 10Gb/40Gb indoor links.

This OM3-rated LC–LC fiber jumper from Fibergaga delivers long-reach multimode connectivity for data centers, office backbone runs, and high-density network closets. With a slim 2.0mm diameter, LSZH jacket and precision ceramic ferrules, the cable is designed for low insertion loss, flexible routing in cable trays, and compliance with common safety standards. It’s compatible with 10GBase-SR, 10GBase-LRM, SFP+ and QSFP+ transceivers and supports typical multimode applications like Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and LAN backbones.

How does this cable fit into a 10Gb or 40Gb network?

The OM3 multimode specification and LC duplex termination make this patch cord suitable for short- to medium-distance multimode links used in high-speed networks. It connects directly to LC ports on transceivers and is commonly used for server-to-switch or switch-to-switch connections inside buildings.

• OM3 graded for improved bandwidth over OM2, suitable for 10Gb links up to typical OM3 distances.
• LC to LC duplex termination for compact, high-density patching.
• Compatible with SFP+, QSFP+ modules for 10Gb/40Gb setups.
• 2.0mm outer diameter for easier routing in tight conduits and panels.

What are the construction and safety details of the cable?

This jumper uses 50/125µm multimode glass with a low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) outer jacket, reducing toxic fumes and corrosive gas in case of fire—making it appropriate for indoor installations. Ceramic ferrules and controlled manufacturing reduce return loss and insertion loss for predictable performance.

• 50/125 µm multimode core/cladding geometry (OM3-rated).
• LSZH jacket for indoor fire-safety requirements and reduced smoke emission.
• Durable ceramic ferrules to minimize signal attenuation and repeatable connections.
• Meets industry standards including UL, CUL, IEC and RoHS compliance checks.

How do I install and handle a 100m (328ft) LC–LC fiber jumper?

Long patch cords require careful routing and support to avoid tight bends and excess strain. Use proper cable management, gentle bend radii, and strain relief at patch panels or transceiver ports to preserve performance and lifespan.

• Maintain manufacturer-recommended minimum bend radius—avoid sharp bends or kinks.
• Use cable ties or Velcro straps to secure the cable without over-compressing the jacket.
• Clean LC connectors with approved cleaning tools before mating to reduce insertion loss.
• Label both ends for quick identification in high-density environments.

What performance can I expect for typical applications?

When installed correctly, OM3 multimode fiber supports high-bandwidth, short-reach links used in data centers and enterprise networks. The Fibergaga jumper is produced and tested to control insertion loss, making it suitable for gigabit and multi-gigabit deployments where predictable link budgets matter.

• Supports 10Gb Ethernet and common 40Gb multimode topologies when paired with appropriate transceivers.
• Low insertion and return loss for stable light transmission across connected equipment.
• Robust for indoor patching, horizontal runs, and cross-connect panels.
• Quality-tested manufacturing for consistent, repeatable connections.

Who is this for: Network engineers, IT teams, and installers who need a long, reliable multimode LC–LC patch cable for indoor trunking, data center patching, or high-density wiring closets. The Fibergaga 100m OM3 jumper suits deployments requiring OM3 performance, LSZH safety characteristics, and compact 2.0mm cabling for neat routing and rack-side management.
