About this item
- Multimode fiber duplex OM3 50/125 micron fiber cables with dual small form factor LC connectors are designed for 10 Gigabit applications in SAN networks and data centers; OM3 LOMMF (laser optimized multi-mode fiber) rated; Connects to VCSEL laser network equipment such as SFP+ transceivers, Ethernet switches, media converters, industrial Ethernet devices, and optical fiber NIC's
- Flexible installation and maintenance fiber cord with adjustable, clips and removable dust caps to protect the fibers during installation while allowing individual fiber access; Embossed A/B position labels on the duplex clip and jacket tag rings labeled 1 & 2 provide quick ID when installing and troubleshooting; Tight-buffered cable with a duplex 2.0 x 4.2mm Zipcord design; LC connectors in a protective yoke with slim-profile boots, PC polish, and zirconia ceramic ferrules for precise alignment
- Bend insensitive design of the LC to LC cable allows for a 7.5mm bending radius that is 4X more flexible than standard 50 micron fiber cables without introducing any macro-bending loss; Ideal for SAN network cabinets that require 20 or more bends in the cabinet or high density installations with cables crammed into an extremely small footprint; Bend insensitive multimode fiber (BIMMF) is interoperable with standard OM3 cabling systems
- Standards compliant OM3 cable includes a superior OFNP (plenum) safety fire rating that meets UL 910 regulations and substitutes for OFNR (riser) rated cable; TIA/EIA compliant A to B wiring with color-coded aqua jacket and beige connectors; OM3 classification rating operates with Gigabit Ethernet 1000Base-LX, 1000Base-SX, or 10GBase-S/LR4/LRM, and Fibre Channel 100/200/400/1200-MX; Backwards compatible with FDDI, and Fast Ethernet 10/100BASE SX or FX
- 10G compatible with SFP+ transceivers modules such as: 10Gtek for Cisco SFP-10G-SR, 10Gtek for Ubiquiti 10Gb SFP+, 10Gtek for Intel E10GSFPSR 10Gb, 10Gtek Cisco Compatible GLC-T/SFP-GE-T, 10Gtek for Netgear AMX761, 10Gtek for Cisco GLC-SX/MMD/ GLC-SX/MM/ SFP-GE-S, Cisco MGBSX1 Gigabit SX Mini-GBIC, 10Gtek for Mellanox MFM1T02A-SR, TRENDnet Gigabit SFP LC Module, TP-LINK TL-SM311LM Gigbit, Cisco SFP-10G-SR, HP Mini-GBIC Gigabit-SX-LC, and StarTech Gigabit Ethernet Fiber Media Converter
- Easy to identify yellow and white boots with 1 & 2 ring makers
- Slim-profile strain relief boots provide durability and flexibility
- Adjustable yoke un-snaps to reverse polarity
- Removable dust caps prevent dirt from reaching the fiber
- Bend insensitive multimode fiber (BIMMF) provides greater flexibility in tight spaces or long cable runs with multiple bends.
- BIMMF fiber cable is engineered with an extra layer of glass around the core to ensure optical performance and provide durability for the extreme requirements of SAN network or high-density patch panel installations.
- Protect your network against macro-bend losses that are difficult to isolate, troubleshoot, and repair.
- Classification: OM3 LOMMF
- Core/Cladding: 50/125 Micron
- Wavelengths: 850 nm
- Duplex zipcord with 2.0mm legs (2.0 x 4.0mm)
- Aramid yarn strength member
- Ceramic ferrule for precise alignment
- Safe in plenum air spaces
- Meets UL 910 requirements
- Substitutes for OFNR riser

Everything I needed!
Using this paired with 10Gtek for Mellanox MFM1T02A-SR, 10Gb/s SFP+ Transceiver module, 10GBASE-SR, MMF, 850nm, 300-meter, to use with Four Luxul AMS-4424P switches in stacked mode and it works flawlessly. For those who do not know, managed switches that support stacked mode and ARE being used in stack mode, act as one huge switch where you only need the IP of the master switch and only will be logged into it's web server. Firmware updates, reboots etc will affect all of them at once yet still allow fine grained port settings for each switch in the stack. VLANs apply to the whole stack not just one switch. This model of switch I use only allows 10gb connections between switches via SFP. The thing I like about the MMF I used is that it is so much less bulky than copper and collisions are impossible since there is one fiber for each direction so they can be very far apart and still behave as one huge switch in one spot.
This is great quality cable at a very reasonable price.

Installed without breakage or issue.
I found these patch cables to work reliably, completing my fiber connection without issue. They can be easily changed from straight through connections to crossovers where needed. As a first timer installing fiber I was worried that I would break one of these when changing to a straight through connection, but that wasn't an issue for me. No broken connections and easy to install. The caps work to keep the ends clean until needed. I am happy with how these performed.

Great Cheap Fiber
I've bought a lot of cable matters stuff and have come to trust that they will offer good cables for great prices, sure they aren't literally the best out there, but plenty good for most uses. My Multimode Duplex fiber is working exactly as expected an the connectors are high quality.

Works perfectly with very low loss
These work very nicely. They fit well, and the specs on the test sheet enclosed with each were indeed accurate. As a matter of course I run these through my test light meter to ensure they are up-to-par before deployment. Not to say I've ever had a bad cable, but when you're working at a remote data center and you cable everything up and then drive back home quite a distance away, you want confidence.

Great cheap Fiber cable
I added a 10gbe ethernet card to my PC. Used this cable with SFP+ and connected to my 10gbe aggregate switch. Works perfectly. Exactly what I needed to make this happen. Will buy again when I need more fiber in the future.

Affordable cables for high speeds
Amazing cable! Very thin and light so I expect that one should be very gentile with this as to not break it. So far in my testing it's working flawlessly with some ubiquiti SFP+ conectors.

Cables look great and work perfectly!
Needed to connect a 8 Port Ubiquiti POE switch to a 48 Port Ubiquiti switch using SFP connectors. The Ubiquiti SFP connectors are very reasonable and the Cable Matters cables look great and work perfectly. Probably could have gotten shorter cables. I need to finalize some cable management :-)
Question & Answer
Question :
Dielectric? or does it have any metal tracers?
Answer :
They appear to be Dielectric. There is no evidence of any Metallic support, tracers, or metal of any kind.
Question :
Is this the cable for https://smile.amazon.com/dp/b00swd0318/ 10gtek for intel e10gsfpsr, 10gb/s sfp+ transceiver, 10gbase-sr, mmf, 850nm, 300m
Answer :
I've not used those particular transceivers, but yes, this cable should work.
Question :
Can the connector be taken apart so it will fit through a small hole in the floor?
Answer :
RESPONSE FROM MANUFACTURER - CABLE MATTERS:
As long as the connector is not damaged, it should work.

Question :
If this fiber connector end angled or flat?
Answer :
LC/PC is flat
Question :
If this fiber connector end angled or flat?
Answer :
Flat or straight as pictured.
Question :
The details indicate that the cables are straight-through but the picture appears to be a crossover. Which is correct?
Answer :
it is straight through. remember on fiber you need the two ends to "swap" like the image shows. from the source's transmit line goes to the destination receive line || from the sources receive line goes to the destination transmit line
Question :
Are these compatible with hp j8436a 10gbps ethernet 10gbase-sr transceiver?
Answer :
RESPONSE FROM MANUFACTURER-CABLE MATTERS: Thanks for asking. Unfortunately we didn't test it with an HP J8436A 10Gbps Ethernet 10GBase-SR transceiver. Regardless, Amazon has a 30-day window from the original purchase date that you can return for a full refund if you would still like to give it a try.

Question :
Will these work between a netgear gs724tp-200nas switch and a qnap tvs-682 nas? new to fiber and learning as i go.
Answer :
as long as you have LC connectors on both devices.. should both be same nm also single mode..
Question :
Will it matter if i'm using the cable for 1.25gb rather than 10g? my two transcievers call for 50/125 lc/lc mm full
Answer :
1.25gb will work just fine. I use this cable for that, and it's great. 10g is just in the description as OM3 cable is rated to support that speed.
Question :
Can i use this cable for 16Gbps FC??
Answer :
3 meters? I cant say why not.. I'm thinking .. Yes.
