Belden Inc. FM3MMB1013M OM3 MPO12 Fiber Patch Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. FM3MMB1013M is a pre-terminated OM3 multimode fiber patch cable featuring a male-to-male MPO12 connector configuration. It ships as a 12-fiber, 13-meter assembly designed for high-density structured cabling installations. OM3 multimode fiber supports high-bandwidth applications including 10G, 40G, and 100G data center links over short to medium runs. Licensed low-voltage contractors and data cabling technicians are the primary installers. The male-to-male (M-M) end configuration suits direct trunk or harness connections in pre-terminated backbone systems.

This cable assembly is suited for data center, enterprise LAN, and telecommunications room applications where high-density MPO backbone infrastructure is deployed. The 12-fiber count and 13-meter length make it a practical choice for top-of-rack to patch panel runs and inter-cabinet fiber trunking. It is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for both new structured cabling builds and upgrade projects migrating to higher-speed network fabrics.

Key Features

• OM3 multimode fiber supports 10G, 40G, and 100G Ethernet applications
• MPO12 male-to-male (M-M) connector on both ends for direct trunk connectivity
• 12-fiber count in a single high-density MPO interface
• 13-meter assembly length suitable for inter-rack and inter-cabinet runs
• Pre-terminated factory assembly for consistent insertion loss and reliable field deployment

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OM3 MPO12 male-to-male fiber patch cable for use with MPO-compatible panels, transceivers, and fiber trunk systems in high-density structured cabling environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage cabling technician or licensed data communications contractor in accordance with applicable TIA-568 and ANSI cabling standards. Before connecting or disconnecting MPO assemblies, ensure transceivers and active equipment are powered down or ports are disabled to avoid fiber damage and eye-safety hazards. Use a lint-free fiber optic cleaner on all MPO ferrules before mating. Avoid sharp bends and do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing and dressing.
