IBM 00MN518 – Lenovo 30m LC-LC OM3 MMF Cable

Detailed Description:

The IBM 00MN518 is a Lenovo-branded 30-meter LC-LC Optical Multimode 3 (OM3) Multimode Fiber (MMF) Cable designed to support high-speed data communications in data centers and networking infrastructures. This premium fiber optic cable is engineered to facilitate long-distance, high-bandwidth connections between devices using LC (Lucent Connector) interfaces. The OM3 specification indicates that this cable is optimized for laser-optimized multimode fiber applications, capable of supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet at lengths of up to 300 meters, and it is also suitable for higher bandwidth requirements such as 40 GbE or 100 GbE over shorter distances. Its construction includes a durable jacket material that protects the delicate optical fibers within, while the low-smoke-zero-halogen (LSZH) material ensures safety in the event of a fire by reducing the emission of toxic and corrosive gases. Furthermore, the cable’s aqua color is a standardized code that easily identifies it as being OM3, simplifying installation and maintenance in complex networking environments. The IBM 00MN518 cable is designed for use in enterprise data centers, telecommunication networks, and anywhere high-speed, high-fidelity optical connections are required. Its reliability and performance reflect IBM’s and Lenovo’s commitment to delivering leading-edge solutions for today’s demanding data communication needs.
