OM3 multimode fiber is typically identified by an aqua-colored jacket, distinguishing it from other multimode and single-mode fibers.
OM3 is a laser-optimized multimode fiber (LOMMF) designed for high-speed networks using VCSELs (Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers). Its outer jacket is standardized as aqua (hex: #00B6C1), which visually signals support for 10, 40, or 100 Gb/s over short distances, typically up to 300 meters at 10G Ethernet . This color coding helps technicians quickly differentiate OM3 from older multimode fibers:
While the jacket color identifies the fiber type, connectors and strain relief boots are also color-coded to maintain consistency:
By following these color standards, technicians can efficiently identify OM3 fibers, ensure proper network performance, and maintain consistency across installations.
