For Nigerian deployments, this product should be evaluated as part of the complete network path, including its connectors, mapping and acceptance values. This OM3 fiber patch cable carries a SC UPC interface on one end and a SC UPC interface on the other, factory terminated on OM3 glass and optically tested as a whole assembly. The duplex zipcord construction keeps the transmit and receive strands paired in one assembly for fast, error-free patching.

OM3 for existing multimode plants
This OM3 assembly matches the fitted base of OM3 channel cabling: 10G links to 300 meters and 40/100G SR4 links to 70 meters. When the permanent link is OM3, patching with OM3 keeps the channel specification homogeneous and the test reports clean.
Keeping multimode links healthy
Multimode links fail more often from contamination than from fiber damage. Each ferrule must be inspected and cleaned before inserting the connector, and the dust caps ought to stay on until the moment of connection. These habits matter more than any specification on the datasheet.
Length Options
Stock length choices cover the common patching routes: 5m (16ft), with made-to-order length available beyond the list. Specifying the measured route length keeps the slack out of the manager and the strain off the connector interfaces.
Quality Control and Testing
Every cable assembly is terminated with precision zirconia ferrule connectors and optically tested before packing: insertion loss and return loss are verified on every cable, and end-face geometry is inspected for consistent physical contact. The cable assembly ships with dust caps on the two connectors and the test result available on request.
Ordering and Factory Support
Refer to this configuration by connector pair, fiber mode and length at the request stage a quotation. For configurations outside the listed options, mixed connector families, jackets, labelling or project packing, send the requirement with the enquiry and the factory will establish the build before the build starts. For Nigerian orders, our team can check the requirement before coordinating manufacture and international delivery.
