Fiber assemblies built to order.

OM3 and OM4 multimode, OS2 single-mode. LC and ST connectors, 1 to 50 metres. Every cord is tested to GR-326 and IEC 61300 before it ships, and the measurement travels with it.

  • Tested per cord
  • Bulk from 100 units
  • Custom lengths and labels
OM3 multimodeaqua, 50/125 µm

LC uniboot duplex, 2.0 mm jacket, UPC polish — shown in all three grades.

Three grades, one tolerance

OM3 multimode

Why the tolerance matters

A link budget has no slack to give away. Two tenths of a decibel per mating, across four matings, is most of what a 100 metre run can afford.

So every FeatherOptics cord is measured before it ships — insertion loss, return loss and endface geometry, recorded against the part number and released with the shipment. Not a sample from the reel. Every cord.
