Fiber Cables Direct FCDUS346V9993-4 3M OM3 Duplex Patch Cable

Overview

The Fiber Cables Direct FCDUS346V9993-4 is a 3-meter, duplex, OM3 multimode fiber optic patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in commercial and enterprise environments. Its plenum-rated jacket makes it suitable for installation in air-handling spaces, fulfilling building codes for in-wall and ceiling runs. This cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) speeds up to 300 meters, ensuring robust connectivity for network infrastructure, surveillance systems, and data centers. The TAA compliance ensures it meets government procurement requirements.

Compatibility

This FCDUS346V9993-4 patch cable is compatible with any network equipment, transceivers, or devices featuring standard LC duplex connectors. It is suitable for use with OM3-rated network switches, routers, servers, fiber optic patch panels, and IP cameras that require multimode fiber connectivity for 10GbE or faster data rates. It is designed to interoperate with standard LC connectors found in most enterprise networking and security deployments.

Installation Notes

Ensure proper bend radius management during installation to avoid signal degradation. The minimum bend radius for OM3 fiber is typically 50mm (2 inches) when under tension and 25mm (1 inch) when not under tension. Avoid sharp kinks or excessive pulling force. The plenum jacket requires careful handling to prevent damage, but offers superior fire resistance and low smoke emission compared to non-plenum cables.
