Each patch cable is accompanied by a measurement report and provided with an ID number. Patch cords have a core diameter of 50/125μm. Our RS Pro OM3 and OM2 optical fiber patch cords allow for new VCSEL-based hardware and old legacy LED-based hardware to coexist in your system. They are considered the pinnacle of multimode fiber systems.

Features and benefits include duplex patch cords with a 50/125μm LSOH jacket, available in a 3mm MTRJ mini zip version for OM2 (orange) and OM3 (violet) fiber quality, with a split length of 15cm ± 5cm.

Typical applications include use in 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and FDDI networks, suitable for Local Area Network applications. The optical fibers support a wide range of communications protocols such as Token Ring, video, and voice services, and are commonly used in telecom communications.

Fiber optic cable works by carrying communication signals using pulses of light generated by small lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The cable consists of one or more strands, similar in size to a human hair. The center of each strand is called the core, which serves as the pathway for light to travel. The core is surrounded by a layer of glass that reflects light inward to avoid signal loss and allows the light to pass through bends in the cable.
