OM1 LC – LC Multi-Mode Simplex Fiber Jumper Cable — 3.0mm Orange Jacket Multi-Mode Fiber Patch Cable This OM1 LC to LC simplex fiber jumper cable provides reliable optical connectivity for legacy multi-mode fiber networks. Featuring compact LC connectors on both ends and a durable 3.0 mm orange jacket, this cable is commonly used to connect patch panels, switches, and transceivers in enterprise and campus network environments that still utilize OM1 fiber infrastructure. Why these cables matter Compact LC connectors — High-density connector design ideal for modern switches and patch panels. Simplex fiber design — Single optical strand for one-direction transmission applications. Precision ceramic ferrules — Provide low insertion loss and consistent signal quality. Flexible 3.0 mm jacket — Durable outer jacket protects fiber while maintaining bend flexibility. Rack Shelves Cable Management Choose the Right Multi-Mode Fiber Fiber Type Jacket Color Core Size Typical Speed Distance Best Use OM1 Orange 62.5 µm 1 Gbps ~275 m Legacy networks OM2 Orange 50 µm 1 Gbps ~550 m Enterprise networks OM3 Aqua 50 µm (laser optimized) 10 Gbps ~300 m Modern data centers OM4 Erika Violet 50 µm (advanced laser optimized) 10–100 Gbps ~550 m (10G) ~150 m (40/100G) High-performance data centers Quick Summary The primary differences between OM1, OM2, OM3, and OM4 multi-mode fiber involve core size, bandwidth capability, supported transmission distance, and maximum data rate. Higher-grade multimode fiber supports faster speeds and longer transmission distances, making them better suited for modern high-bandwidth networking environments.
