OM3 cables use 50/125 multimode fiber to carry high-bandwidth data while resisting electromagnetic interference and radio frequency interference that can affect copper cabling. In supported installations, they can transmit 10 Gbps signals up to 1,000 feet, making them suitable for data, audio, video, and other network connections.

Choose OM3 patch cords for quick, pre-terminated connections between equipment, optical devices, or cross-connects, and choose bulk cable when you need to route and terminate duplex fiber through plenum spaces, ducts, or conduit. Distribution cable suits longer or more demanding pathways, with options for multiple strands, indoor or outdoor installation, and added protection for rugged or direct-burial environments.

Indoor OM3 cables support building installations, while riser-rated cables are designed for vertical runs and plenum-rated cables are suited for ducts, plenum spaces, and other environmental air-return areas. Direct-burial OM3 cables use an outdoor-rated polyethylene jacket and armored construction for burial applications, with added protection against moisture, crush forces, and rodents.

OM3 cables are available as duplex, two-fiber patch cords with LC-LC, LC-SC, or SC-SC connectors. Cable constructions include duplex plenum zip cord, two- or six-strand rugged micro-distribution cable, and six-strand corrugated-steel-armored direct-burial cable for plenum, riser, indoor, outdoor, and underground installations.
