Black Box 9.8ft OM3 Multimode SC to LC Fiber Optic Patch Cable (Aqua)

The Black Box EFNT010-003M-SCLC is a 9.8 foot OM3 multimode fiber optic patch cable that gives your network the throughput headroom required for 10 Gigabit Ethernet without migrating to single mode fiber. One end terminates in an SC connector and the other in an LC connector, allowing a simple bridge between traditional backbone hardware and newer high-density optics. The aqua jacket helps technicians spot OM3 links at a glance, reducing tracing time during moves, adds, and changes.

Laser-optimized 50/125 micron fiber inside the cable carries data up to 300 meters at 10 gigabit speeds and delivers bandwidth of 2000 MHz per kilometer when driven by a laser light source. That capacity makes the cable a dependable choice for switch-to-switch interconnects in a data center, storage area network links, or campus backbone runs where copper falls short.

Reliability is built in through a tight buffered core protected by a PVC jacket that stands up to repeated handling in patch panels and cabinets. The assembly maintains full performance in temperatures from -40 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit, so it can travel through wiring closets, utility tunnels, or equipment rooms that are not kept at ideal conditions. At three meters in length, it reaches comfortably between adjacent racks or from a rack to a nearby wall panel while avoiding the cable slack that can clutter pathways.
