Need to link a 10G SFP+ switch port, server NIC or patch panel over multimode fiber? This Cable Leader OM3 LC to LC fiber patch cable, also sold as an OM3 duplex fiber optic cable or multimode patch cord, uses Corning 50/125 OM3 glass with a 2.0 mm zipcord OFNR riser-rated jacket and LC/UPC connectors on both ends, with insertion loss of 0.30 dB or less and return loss of 35 dB or better per connector. OM3 fiber is specified by TIA-492AAAC at 2000 MHz-km effective modal bandwidth, which carries 10GBASE-SR up to 300 m and 25GBASE-SR up to 70 m under IEEE 802.3. Compatible with 10GBASE-SR and 1000BASE-SX LC transceivers from Cisco, Ubiquiti UniFi, MikroTik, TP-Link, Netgear, Dell, HPE Aruba and Intel X520 or X710 network cards, plus LC duplex patch panels and couplers. Each cable is sample-tested during production, and Cable Leader handles replacement requests directly. Best for: 10G SFP+ uplinks inside a rack or room, server to switch links, LC patch panel jumpers. Not for: single-mode LR or LX transceivers that need yellow OS2 fiber, QSFP MPO parallel ports, or Toslink audio.
Corning OM3 50/125 glass rated 2000 MHz-km (TIA-492AAAC) carries 10GBASE-SR to 300 m and 25GBASE-SR to 70 m under IEEE 802.3, and stays backward compatible with 1000BASE-SX gigabit optics. Aqua is the standard OM3 jacket color, matching existing laser-optimized multimode runs.
Two LC/UPC ceramic-ferrule connectors at each end in a duplex clip fit any standard LC SFP, SFP+ or SFP28 transceiver and LC duplex patch panel or coupler. Insertion loss is 0.30 dB or less and return loss 35 dB or better per connector, measured at 850 nm and 1300 nm.
Transceiver labeled SR, SX or multimode (Cisco SFP-10G-SR, Ubiquiti UF-MM-10G, MikroTik S+85DLC03D, TP-Link TL-SM5110-SR, Netgear AXM761, Dell, HPE Aruba, Intel X520-SR2) - Yes. LC duplex patch panel or coupler - Yes. LR or LX single-mode optics on yellow OS2 cable - No. QSFP 40G/100G SR4 ports, which use MPO connectors - No. Toslink optical audio - No.
The 2.0 mm duplex zipcord jacket is OFNR riser-rated for vertical runs between floors and standard indoor use, with aramid yarn strength members and a tight buffer around each fiber, rated -25 to 60 C operating. Numbered boots and color bands at both ends make polarity easy to trace in a dense rack.
Every cable is sample-tested during production for insertion loss and return loss, then packed one per zip bag with the connectors capped. If your cable arrives defective or stops working in normal use, Cable Leader handles replacement requests directly, no manufacturer redirects.
