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

Features and Benefits:

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

Typical Applications:

• Used in 10-Gigabit, Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and FDDI networks
• Suitable for use in local area network applications
• The optical 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 through light pulses generated by small lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The cable consists of one or more strands that are similar in size to a human hair. The center of each strand is called the core, which represents the path of light. The core is surrounded by a glass layer that reflects the light inward to avoid signal loss, allowing the light to pass through bends in the cable.
