Percon FO450DDOM3PUR/XTREM OM3 Multimode Fiber Cable | 4 Fibres 50/125 | Anti-Rodent Outdoor

Four-Fibre OM3 Multimode Cable

The Percon FO450DDOM3PUR/XTREM is a four-fibre multimode cable with 50/125 micron OM3 fibres. It is intended for indoor and outdoor data and signal links in buildings, between buildings and along harsh outdoor routes where armour and anti-rodent protection are required. The OM3 fibre type suits higher data rate links over moderate distances, supporting modern transceivers.

Tight Cable Construction Details

The fibres sit in a tight cable design with a gel-free core. The construction is described as very strong, direct to terminate and easy to strip, which suits technicians working in the field under time pressure. The cable is completely dielectric, so it carries no metal conductors and can be used where electrical isolation matters for the installation.

Anti-Rodent and Mechanical Protection

Rodents can chew through many jackets, so this cable includes anti-rodent protection in its build. The structure is designed to resist crushing and handling damage, which makes it a good choice for underground ducts, outdoor poles and rough industrial routes where the cable is exposed to physical stress over its service life, and where repairs are costly.

Termination and Link Testing

Use OM3-rated connectors and keep the ferrules clean before mating. Test the link with a light source and power meter, and verify the attenuation budget for the chosen distance and transceiver, since OM3 links have specific reach limits. Protect terminated ends in the patch panel so that the connectors stay clean during the commissioning phase.

Selecting an OM3 Option

Choose the FO450DDOM3PUR/XTREM for multimode links that need rugged protection and direct termination in harsh environments. For single-mode distances or longer routes, the FO410DPUR/B or FO1210BHF are better matches. Quotes are issued by length and connector, so include the route and transceiver type in the enquiry to receive an accurate offer. Matching the fibre type to the transceiver at both ends keeps the link within its specified reach and budget.
