Built for Your Application

This OM3 multimode fiber provides optimal performance for 10-GIG Ethernet and other high-bandwidth applications. The Indoor/Outdoor design eliminates the need for separate indoor and outdoor cables, making it perfect for data center backbones, multi-floor installations, and network expansion. This cable's versatility allows it to transition from underground conduit to indoor plenum spaces, with no need to worry about additional fire code restrictions that typically apply to outdoor cables. Additionally, you can order it by the foot, so you get the exact amount needed for your project, reducing waste and saving costs. If a quick and easy installation is a priority, we also offer the option of installing pulling eyes to simplify the installation process.

FAQ

What is OM3 fiber, and why is it important?

OM3 fiber is a type of multimode fiber optimized for 10-Gigabit Ethernet applications. It offers higher bandwidth and transmission distances compared to standard OM1 and OM2 fibers, making it ideal for high-speed, high-capacity networks.

Can I use this cable for both indoor and outdoor applications?

Yes, this Indoor/Outdoor cable is designed for both environments. Its plenum-rated jacket makes it suitable for use inside buildings, while the UV-resistant and water-blocking features make it durable enough for outdoor applications, such as buried conduit runs.

What is the benefit of ordering fiber by the foot?

Ordering fiber by the foot ensures that you get the exact length you need for your installation, minimizing waste and saving on cost.

Do you offer custom lengths or configurations for this cable?

While this cable is available in pre-cut lengths, we do not offer custom strand counts or lengths beyond the foot-by-foot options for this specific product. For custom builds, please check out other categories on our site.

What is the pulling eye option?

A pulling eye is an accessory that can be installed on the cable to make it easier to pull through conduit, especially over long distances or when navigating tight bends.
