Description

Black Box EFNT010-003M-STLC OM3 Fiber Optic Patch Cable - 3M ST to LC

Overview

The Black Box EFNT010-003M-STLC is a 3-meter (9.8 ft) OM3 multimode fiber optic patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in enterprise and data center environments. It features an OFNR (Optical Fiber Non-conductive Riser) PVC jacket, making it suitable for vertical or riser pathways within buildings. This cable provides a reliable physical link for network devices requiring fiber connectivity, such as switches, servers, and transceivers, ensuring data integrity over short to medium distances.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network equipment featuring standard ST (SC-type) and LC (Lucent Connector) fiber optic ports. It is specifically designed for OM3 multimode fiber applications, supporting speeds up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet at 300 meters and 40/100 Gigabit Ethernet at shorter distances (up to 100 meters for 40/100GbE). Use this cable to connect devices within the same rack, between adjacent racks, or to patch panels requiring ST and LC terminations.

Installation Notes

Maintain a minimum bend radius of 1.0 inch (25.4 mm) for the OM3 fiber to prevent signal degradation. Ensure connectors are clean before insertion into transceivers or patch panels. The OFNR jacket is rated for riser applications but not for plenum spaces.
