Black Box FO10G-003M-LCLC

Overview

The Black Box FO10G-003M-LCLC is a 3-meter fiber optic patch cable designed to deliver reliable 10 gigabit connectivity using OM3 50/125 multimode fiber. It supports 10Gbase-SR and 10Gbase-LRM optics, making it suitable for high-speed data transmission across intra-rack and short inter-rack connections. The cable’s 9.8-foot length provides enough slack for neat cable management without excess bulk, while its aqua jacket helps quickly identify 10 G multimode links in complex network setups.

Key features

• OM3 multimode fiber supports data rates up to 10 Gbps, ensuring fast and efficient network performance.
• Compatible with 10Gbase-SR and 10Gbase-LRM transceivers, allowing seamless integration with common 10G equipment.
• Backward compatibility with OM2 fiber simplifies upgrades by supporting existing infrastructure.
• LC to LC duplex connectors fit standard SFP+ ports and patch panels, providing broad device compatibility.
• OFNR-rated PVC jacket is approved for vertical riser installations, meeting fire safety requirements in multi-floor environments.
• Aqua-colored sheath distinguishes the cable for easy identification during maintenance or network changes.
• Factory-tested for insertion loss and overall performance to guarantee dependable operation once installed.

Connectivity and compatibility

This patch cable is designed to connect devices equipped with LC ports, such as top-of-rack switches, aggregation switches, SAN storage arrays, and patch panels. Its compatibility with SFP+ transceivers makes it a versatile choice for modern data centers and enterprise networks. The cable’s OM3 fiber core ensures it can handle demanding workloads while maintaining compatibility with older OM2 systems, easing network transitions.

Ideal uses and environments

The cable works well in data centers, server rooms, and campus backbone networks where 10 Gbps speeds are required over short distances. Its riser-rated jacket makes it suitable for vertical cable runs between floors, meeting fire safety codes. Network administrators will find it useful for linking switches to aggregation layers, extending server uplinks, or connecting high-performance storage devices in SAN environments. The 3-meter length strikes a balance between flexibility and tidy cable management.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
