15m ST to ST OM3 Fibre Optic Network Cable

15m ST to ST OM3 Fibre Optic Network Cable A 15m duplex OM3 fibre patch lead with ST connectors at both ends. Duplex means two fibres one to send and one to receive so a single lead connects a pair of ports. OM3 is laser-optimised 50/125 multimode fibre. It carries 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to about 300m and 40/100 Gigabit up to about 100m which makes it a common choice for new server room and backbone patching. ST plugs are round bayonet connectors with a twist lock common on older multimode equipment and patch panels. A 15m lead covers longer runs such as between rows in a data hall or up a riser to another floor. Plan the route and fix the cable so it is not pinched or kinked. Avoid bending it tighter than 60mm as sharp bends weaken the signal and can damage the fibre. The LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) jacket suits offices data centres and public buildings.
