Aqua OM3 and OM4 Fiber Optic Cables - Aqua Multimode Cables for High Quality and Speed

In some of our previous posts, we’ve discussed the varieties of cables available on the market and how to find just the right one for your home or business. But did you know that there is a color code system for fiber optic cables that identifies what they’re for and how powerful they are? Let's take a look at some of the OM3 and OM4 fiber optic cables available on Cables.com and learn what they can do for you.

Quality Fiber Optic Cables for OM3 and OM4

One of the most basic things to learn about fiber optic cables is that they’re color-coded to identify their purpose. For example: an orange cable jacket indicates that the cord is an OM1 or OM2 cable, while yellow identifies a cable as OS1, or Singlemode.

So what do fiber optic cables with aqua jackets tell us?

According to the Fiber Optic Association, the aqua color on these cables indicates that they contain laser-optimized 50/125 fiber. This makes our aqua fiber optic cables ideal for professional datacenter installations.

Safe and Salient Fiber Optic Cables

Our standard LC to LC OM3 Duplex Multimode Fiber Optic Cable comes in an aqua blue 50/25 Riser-rated jacket. It has high-quality duplex LC connectors on either end and is 10-Gigabit rated, which means that it can transmit data up to 300 meters. You can find this slim-diameter cable in lengths from 0.5 meters all the way to 200 meters, making it easy for you to scale and add life to your networks even when faced with crowded, dense network switches in the data racks. 

You can also find aqua plenum fiber optic cables on Cables.com, which means that these cables are self-extinguishing, flame-retardant, and UV-resistant. 

If you’re looking for cables that will fare well outdoors, on Cables.com you’ll find armored LC to LC 10GB OM3 and LC to LC 40GB OM4 aqua cables. These cables are made from rugged fibers that are resistant to damage from rodents, chemicals, and sudden impact.

Custom Cables For Your Needs

In circumstances where space is a premium, consider our MPO (used synonymously with MTP, a licensed acronym) 12 Connector OM4 cables and accessories. These cords fit 12 strands of fiber optic cable into a single connector! They’re built with a push and pull mechanism that makes them more durable than regular fiber optic connectors, ensuring safer connections, increased performance, and more besides.
