OM3 Fibre Patch Cords
OM3 optical fibre systems are the pinnacle
of multimode fibre design. To utilise the
new 10Gbs Ethernet protocols in an
optical fibre system requires either a full
blown singlemode solution or OM3 50/125
multimode fibre. The OM3 system allows
for new VCSEL based hardware and old
legacy LED based hardware to co-exist
over your system. For the hard pressed
IT manager an OM3 optical fibre solution
will give a simple migration path through
FibreFab
Fibre Optic & Networking Products
1Gbs to 10Gbs and have security
knowing the system they are installing
today will give many years of solid,
secure service to their network.
The FibreFab OM3 patch cord utilises the
best cable available along with the
market leading Optronics connectors.
Manufactured in FibreFab’s ISO 9001
approved manufacturing facility these
cables can be relied upon, even with in
the most mission critical systems.
