12F OM3 Multimode LSZH OFNR MPO Indoor Fiber Optic Cable

Buyer-oriented summary

This record covers 12-fiber OM3 multimode indoor cable stock intended for MPO cable assembly production. It is not a finished MPO patch cord: connector brand and type, gender, pinning, polarity, end-face finish and finished assembly length are separate quotation fields.

The P189 source record lists an OM3 fiber option, an LSZH or OFNR jacket choice and a 3.0±0.1 mm outside diameter. These values remain TBC — source required until BWNFiber engineering approves the current datasheet and construction drawing.

Key features under review

• Fixed 12-fiber product record
• OM3 multimode fiber source options: OM3-150 or OM3-300
• Jacket selection: LSZH or OFNR
• Listed outside diameter: 3.0±0.1 mm
• Aramid-yarn strength member listed in the source record
• Bulk cable role for MPO assembly production
• Listed packing: 1 km per roll

All values above are conditional on P189 engineering and supply-chain approval.

Technical specifications

These are cable-fiber values under review. They are not connector insertion loss, return loss or a complete channel-loss allowance.

Interfaces and connector options

No connector interface is included in this cable-stock record. Fiber count does not determine:

• MPO or MTP connector brand and ferrule arrangement;
• male/pinned or female/unpinned configuration;
• polarity method;
• key orientation;
• end-face finish;
• finished length; or
• connector insertion-loss and return-loss limits.

If the requirement is a terminated MPO trunk or patch cord, use the finished-assembly product family and provide both end interfaces, gender, polarity, pinning, length and acceptance limits.

Fiber type and configuration options

The source record lists two fiber alternatives:

Select one approved option for the quotation. Do not combine values from the two rows, and do not infer a complete-link reach without the transceiver standard, connector loss, splices and channel design.

Jacket selection and application conditions

Choose LSZH or OFNR from the approved P189 record according to the project specification. Treat them as alternatives unless the final datasheet states otherwise.

A material or jacket label alone does not prove compliance with a building code, flame-spread requirement, smoke requirement or halogen test. Before approval, request the exact declaration and test evidence for the selected model and destination market.

The only application stated in the supplied P189 record is MPO cable assembly production. Building-pathway, equipment compatibility and end-use approval remain project-specific.

How to select the correct configuration

1. Confirm that the requirement is bulk 12F OM3 cable stock, not a finished MPO assembly.
2. Select one approved fiber option: OM3-150 or OM3-300.
3. Select one approved jacket option: LSZH or OFNR.
4. Verify the 3.0±0.1 mm OD against production tooling, entry ports, clamps and routing space.
5. Define the total length and the required length per roll.
6. State the cable marking, quantity and delivery destination.
7. List every document required for approval, such as a datasheet, drawing, jacket declaration or inspection record.
8. Obtain BWNFiber engineering confirmation before releasing the purchase order.

Differences from related products

Use cases

• Cable input for an approved 12F OM3 MPO assembly-production specification.
• Bulk roll procurement where the buyer separately controls termination, connector and finished-length requirements.

Other applications are TBC — source required. Do not approve outdoor, riser, plenum, conduit, device or transmission applications from the product name alone.

Testing and quality-control documents

The supplied package does not include a P189-specific test method, equipment list, acceptance limits, batch report, mechanical test record or temperature evidence.

Before order approval, request and match the available files to the assigned P189 model:

• current product datasheet;
• cable construction drawing;
• fiber declaration;
• jacket/rating declaration and required test evidence;
• OD and construction inspection record;
• optical attenuation test basis or report;
• mechanical/environmental data, when required by the project;
• packing and marking confirmation.

Availability and scope of these documents are TBC — source required.

Packaging and procurement information

The source record lists 1 km per roll. Confirm that packing before quotation. The buyer should state:

• selected fiber option;
• selected jacket option;
• total cable length;
• required length per roll;
• quantity;
• cable marking text;
• delivery destination;
• required approval documents; and
• target schedule, if applicable.

MOQ, price, stock, lead time, warranty and custom packing are TBC — source required.

RFQ / CTA

Request a 12F OM3 cable-stock review

Send the fiber option, jacket option, total length, roll plan, marking, quantity, destination and required approval files. BWNFiber should confirm the exact model and evidence before quotation release.

If you need a finished MPO patch cord or trunk, send the connector, gender, polarity, pinning, length and acceptance requirements instead.

Is this a finished MPO patch cord?

No. This draft describes 12F OM3 cable stock for MPO assembly production. Connector type, gender, polarity, pinning and finished length must be specified separately.

Does 12F determine MPO polarity or connector gender?

No. Fiber count alone does not determine polarity, pinning, gender, key orientation or ferrule layout.

Which OM3 option should be quoted?

Select one approved P189 option—OM3-150 or OM3-300—and have BWNFiber engineering confirm the source row and intended application. Do not combine values from both options.

Can LSZH and OFNR be treated as the same jacket?

No. They are alternatives in the source record. Select the project-required option and request the exact model-level declaration or test evidence.

What outside diameter is listed?

The P189 source record lists 3.0±0.1 mm. Engineering must confirm the drawing and measurement basis before the value is released.

Are the attenuation values connector insertion loss?

No. The listed values are cabled attenuation at 850 and 1300 nm. They do not include connector loss, splice loss or a complete channel budget.

What packing is listed?

The source record lists 1 km per roll. Confirm the current packing practice and required roll lengths in the quotation.

What should be sent for a quotation?

Send the selected fiber and jacket options, total length, roll-length plan, quantity, marking, destination and required approval documents. For a finished assembly, add all connector and polarity fields.

Can this cable be approved for a named building or data-center route?

Not from the product name alone. Approval needs the exact model, route conditions, jacket/rating evidence, dimensions, mechanical limits and any project-required tests.
