Description
Multimode Fiber Lead for 10G Short Runs
The OM3 Patch Cord 1m is a duplex multimode assembly for 850 nm and 1300 nm links. It uses 50/125 µm OM3 fiber and 8° angled SC/APC connectors on both ends. A 2.0 mm zipcord jacket carries the transmit and receive pair.
OM3 glass supports 10GBASE-SR to 300 m and 40GBASE-SR4 to 100 m. Maximum attenuation measures 3.0 dB/km at 850 nm and 1.0 dB/km at 1300 nm. Modal bandwidth reaches 1500 MHz·km and 500 MHz·km across the two windows. APC ferrules hold insertion loss at or below 0.3 dB and return loss at 60 dB or better.
The aqua LSZH jacket marks multimode OM3 stock and limits toxic smoke in enclosed cabinets. Minimum bend radius measures 10 mm static and 20 mm dynamic. Operating temperature spans -20 °C to 70 °C, and storage tolerance reaches 80 °C. Installers use the lead for rack-to-rack jumps, patch panel to switch links and short backbone extensions.
Key Features
8° Angled SC/APC Connectors
Angled ceramic ferrules suppress back-reflection on high-bit-rate multimode links and mate with standard SC/APC adapters.OM3 50/125 µm Multimode Fiber
The laser-optimized core carries 10GBASE-SR to 300 m and 40GBASE-SR4 to 100 m.Duplex Zipcord Construction
- Two fibers share one jacket for TX/RX pairs
- Legs separate at the connectors for polarity control
Low Insertion Loss
Factory-terminated APC endfaces hold insertion loss at 0.3 dB or less per mated pair.60 dB Return Loss
The angled polish reduces reflections that would otherwise disturb 10G and 40G receivers.1 Metre Working Length
The short run covers adjacent rack and panel connections without surplus slack.Aqua LSZH Jacket
The low-smoke zero-halogen sheath identifies OM3 stock and limits toxic emissions indoors.10G and 40G Support
The assembly suits 10GBASE-SR, 40GBASE-SR4 and 1000BASE-SX ports on switches and servers.

Why Choose This Fiber Lead
Angled APC endfaces suppress reflections in high-bit-rate multimode links.
OM3 glass supports 10G to 300 m and 40G to 100 m.
The short length fits adjacent racks without excess coil.
Aqua LSZH jacket identifies OM3 stock and limits smoke in enclosed cabinets.
Tested loss figures keep link budgets predictable.
Duplex legs allow polarity swaps without recutting the assembly.
