LC/UPC male to ST/UPC Female Duplex Multimode OM3/OM4 Fiber Optic Adapter
The LC Male to ST Female Duplex Multimode OM3/OM4 Hybrid Fiber Adapter provides a solution for hybrid applications where the two different kinds of fiber connectors or cable assemblies need to be linked with each other. Most of the hybrid fiber adapter enable reliable ferrule mating and ensure low insertion loss and return loss during the linking.
The main function of simplex hybrid fiber optic adapter is for connection between various different fiber optic connectors, fiber optic patch cords, fiber optic pigtails and fiber optic equipments, different shapes, but it offers the point-to-point connection in the fiber optic network.
Compare OM3 vs OM4 Multimode Fiber
OM3 fiber and OM4 fiber are both laser-optimized multimode fibers with 50/125µm fiber cores, which need to meet the ISO 11801 standard.
| Fiber Type | 100BASE-FX | 1000BASE-SX | 10GBASE-SR | 40GBASE-SR4 | 100GBASE-SR4 |
| OM3 | 2000 Meters | 550 Meters | 300 Meters | 100 Meters | 100 Meters |
| OM4 | 2000 Meters | 550 Meters | 400 Meters | 150 Meters | 150 Meters |
The vast majority of enterprise 10 GbE link lengths are less than 300 meters so OM3 fiber cable can meet most requirements. Of course, the OM4 with higher bandwidth could address these as well. For 40 GbE and 100 GbE links, OM3 and OM4 fiber have a subtle difference in transmission distance (OM3 for 100 m, OM4 for 150 m). If you need longer transmission distance, OM4 multimode fiber is an ideal option.
For OM3 and OM4 compatibility, OM4 fiber is completely backwards compatible with OM3 fiber since they have the same core diameter. However, when connecting two products with different performance levels the best performance that can be expected will be that of the lower performing component. For example, if one mixes the OM3 and OM4 fiber cable, the best performance that can be expected is that of OM3.
