VF45 - LC fiber patch cable Duplex Sm and MM with 3M GGP fiber 3M
brand connector
3M Volition VF-45 Patch Cords use the excellent reliability and
ruggedness of 3M glass/glass/polymer (GGP) fiber optic cable which
is ideal for applications requiring tight bends, durability and
dependability. The cable used to make Volition patch cords is grade
index multimode optical fiber with 10um glass cladding diameter and
125um polymer coating diameter. The polymer is a tough permanent
coating, which provides improved strength and bends resistance. The
static fatigue parameter is a 50% improvement over standard life.
This High strength fiber is fully compatible and intermatable with
standard glass fiber.
About the VF-45 Patch cord
All VF45 patch cords are constructed with the innovative 3M "GGP"
high-strength coated optical fiber, providing enhanced durability
under tight bend radius conditions.
VF-45 Fiber Optic Patch Cord is designed by 3M and features plug
and jack design without the need to adapters. VF-45 plug is
inserted into the socket (jack) at a 45-degree angle, pressing a
pair of fibers into V-grooves inside the socket. This design of
VF-45 Connector eliminates the need for expensive ferrules thus
reduce connector costs.
OMC’s VF-45 patch cords are provided in a variety of lengths and
are also available in hybrid LC,SC,FC,ST,MTRJ configurations.

How to Choose The Right Fiber Optic Cable Type?
PS:The difference of OM4 and OM3 fiber mode as the following
1. OM4 was developed specifically for VSCEL laser transmission and
allows 10 Gig / second link distances of up to 550 Meters (compared
to 300M with OM3).
2. The effective modal bandwidth for OM4 is more than double that
of OM3.
3. For OM4 patch cable it is 4700 MHz.km while for OM3 it is 2000
MHz.km.

How to correctly choose between PVC, LSZH and OFNP?
Fiber patch cables are now widely used for indoor applications like
buildings, factories, office parks ,campuses and so on. Whether you
choose PVC, LSZH or OFNP jacket depends on where you're going to
run the cable.
