OM3 is laser-optimised 50/125 multimode fibre, rated for 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 300 metres. This 5m duplex patch lead joins ST ports to SC ports.
One end is ST (round bayonet twist-lock, found on older installs) and the other is SC (square push-pull, common on panels and media converters), so it bridges equipment with different connector types. Being duplex, it has two fibres (transmit and receive) joined side by side.
Match it to the grade already in your panels and to multimode (SR or SX) transceivers. The jacket is LSZH for indoor use in offices and data centres. Jacket colour is aqua, the usual colour for OM3.
At 5m it is suited to links between racks or across a comms room.
