Monoprice OM3 Aqua LC to LC Fiber Optic Cable, Duplex, 2mm Ø, 10m, 10 GbE

Monoprice OM3 Aqua LC to LC Fiber Optic Cable — Duplex, 10 GbE Ready

Upgrade your network with a high-quality duplex fiber cable designed for reliable, high-speed connections. This Monoprice OM3 Aqua cable uses Corning optical fibers and features a 50 micrometer core with a 125 micrometer cladding, optimized for multi-mode operation. The Aqua outer jacket adds a distinctive, easy-to-identify look, while the laser-optimized design helps maintain signal integrity across short-to-mid-length runs. On each end, you’ll find color-coded LC connectors that simplify tracing and pairing during installation.

Why choose OM3 Aqua for your cable plant

For organizations building or upgrading a 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) network, this cable provides a balanced mix of performance, safety, and ease of use. The OM3 specification is tuned for multi-mode applications, and the 50 micrometer core paired with 125 micrometer cladding supports broad bandwidth across common infrared wavelengths used in data centers and campus networks. The Aqua color and the included LC-to-LC duplex configuration help you visualize and implement organized cabling layouts.

• OM3 Aqua laser-optimized multi-mode fiber supports robust, high-speed multi-mode performance.
• 50 micrometer core with 125 micrometer cladding balances bandwidth and reach.
• Dual color-coded LC connectors on each end simplify correct terminations and labeling.
• UL OFNR-rated jacket enables safe in-wall or riser installations in commercial buildings.
• Corning-brand optical fibers offer established reliability for professional networks.
• Duplex configuration is designed for 10 GbE-ready deployments with compatible switches and NICs.

Practical scenarios include in-wall runs between offices, between floors in a data center suite, or short-hairpin connections from equipment racks to switch panels. The 10-meter length offers flexibility for routing to patch panels or equipment cabinets, while the 2 millimeter jacket diameter keeps the cable slim enough to manage behind racks or through cable trays.
