OM3 Fiber LC to LC 30m, (100ft) Multimode Fiber Patch Cable, Options 7in~500ft, 40GB Fiber Optic Cables LSZH, 𝙍𝙖𝙢𝙗𝙤𝘾𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚𝙨

I ran this across my house a few years ago, and it's still running strong. Working great at 1000Base-FX. Connected to optics at both ends with no problems. Came with covers on both ends, just as you would expect with any new fiber patch cable. I fully expect it to work well with 10GBase-SR if and when I upgrade equipment at both ends in the future.

Cables that are tested to OM3 should all work well. This is no exception. The cable is at least as good as others I have used over my years working in network infrastructure. With the prices where they are, there is no good reason NOT to use fiber for a longer run between devices - in my case a pair of network switches. I have a cluster of PCs participating in one of the distributed computing research projects (folding @ home). Each machine needs a network connection to deliver the results of it's last work unit and retrieve it's next work unit. I have these machines in an out-of-the-way area of my house, since they need minimal interaction from me - and what they do need I can generally do remotely. This fiber is used to connect the small switch used for these machines back to my network core switch - enabling the connectivity these boxes require.As long as you properly handle the fiber (keep the dust caps on until you are ready to connect it, don't kink it, pay attention to the bend radius, etc.) and properly connect it (clean the ends using an appropriate fiber optic cable cleaner - which is NOT your t-shirt!), it works well.

I’ve started using fiber when I can, where I can. This is often switch to switch, or a server with Sfp port. This cable was easy to fish, has multiple 90° bends in the run and works very well.Be sure to order multi mode or single mode as required. This one is for multi mode.

I've had this cable as the main link between my workstation and the core of my network for over a year. In that time, I have pushed so much data through it that it's definitely earned its place. It's very flexible for OM3, to the point that I nearly shot a staple through it because of droop twice. The optical quality of the cable got a rating of 20/20 on my tester, so I highly recommend it!

Tested out perfectly, would buy sgain.

Was skeptical about the price of these cables at first but realized I got a great deal. Small server cluster was starting to show its age on gigabit Ethernet and was time for an upgrade. Some SFP+ 10GB Network Cards some transceivers and these cables and I was up and running besides having to configure my recently acquired NetApp Fiber Cluster Switch. These cables seem to be fairly durable being I have accidentally stepped on some a few times. Snagged two of them walking and I thought they broke. The LC connector's did snap off and snapped right back together. Now I know this is not normal use for a fiber optic cable but accidents did happen and the cables have been rugged enough to maintain their connection. Even with all the faults they still remained within a margin of error that each cable had on its own loss report. Yes every cable comes with a report on the label indicating its tested loss. I thought they were all the same label but no. Shows good quality control and indicates what you are receiving. Tested the cables with a borrowed meter and all tested within margin of error of what was specified. These specs maintained even after their mishaps.

The cable is one from a company I've used before and have never been disappointed.

Used to connect Juniper switches via on premise fiber and patch panel. Works just fine out of the bag at 10Gb.
