Fibre Optic Multimode OM3 Patch Cables (50-/125-µm)

To use the new 10-Gbps Ethernet in your fibre optic system, you need either a full-blown single-mode solution or OM3 50-/125-µm multimode cable. An OM3 system enables your new VCSEL laser-based hardware to work with the legacy LED-based hardware in your system. Additionally, an OM3 fibre optic solution gives you a simple migration path from 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps to 10 Gbps speeds. You can be confident you're installing a future-proof fibre cabling system!

A patch cable has three crucial components: the connector, the cable and the manufacturing process. All three areas contribute to its performance, but the manufacturing process is the most important. Black Box Quality Control guarantees the best production quality control possible along with the best cable and connectors available!
