Frequently Asked Questions

What does OM3 mean for this cable?
OM3 refers to laser-optimized multimode fiber capable of supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds over longer distances compared to older OM1 or OM2 standards.

Do I need breakout kits for this cable?
No, because this is a tight-buffered distribution cable, connectors can be installed directly onto the 900um fibers.

Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
No, this is a riser-rated cable intended for indoor use within walls or conduits.

Can this cable be fusion spliced?
Yes, the 900um fibers are compatible with standard fusion splicing techniques for connecting to backbone cabling.

What is the primary benefit of ClearCurve glass?
ClearCurve technology offers superior bend-insensitivity, which prevents signal loss if the cable is bent around tight corners during installation.
