10Gigabit Fiber Cabling System
Gigabit Ethernet is already deployed to each desk and it is
critical to prepare for the explosion of backbone bandwidth.
To avoid the potential for the backbone bottlenecks where the
convergence is inevitable for voice and video over IP, at least
ten times more bandwidth is required to ensure higher
performance and solid backbone bandwidth reliability.
The 10 Gigabit Ethernet standard was ratified in 2002 as
IEEE Std 802.3ae-2002 and is the fastest of the Ethernet
standards. It defines a version of Ethernet with a nominal
data rate of 10 Gbit/s, ten times as fast as Gigabit Ethernet.
There are two classifications for optical fiber which are singlemode (SMF) and multi-mode (MMF). In SMF, light follows a
single path through the fiber while in MMF, it takes multiple
paths resulting in differential mode delay. SMF is used for
long distance communication and MMF is used for distances
of less than 300 m. SMF has a narrower core (8.3 µm) which
makes connecting fibers more difficult. MMF has a wider core
(50 or 62.5 µm) and is more expensive than SMF. The
advantage of MMF for short distances is that because of its
wider core it can be driven by lower cost lasers and its
connectors are cheaper and more reliable. Its disadvantage
is that due to DMD, it can work only over short distances and
10Gigbit Ethernet can reach between 26 meters and
82meters with conventional multimode fiber. It is not suitable
for general premise cabling for 10Gigabit transmission.
Latest 10Gigabit per second fiber technologies
New structured cabling installations use OM3 50 µm MMF
which has no center defect. OM3 cable can carry 10Gigabit
Ethernet 300 meters using low cost 10GBASE-SR.
New 50μm 2000 MHz·km OM3 multi-mode fiber, it has a
transmission range of 10gigabit Ethernet up to 300 meters.
The transmitter can be implemented with a VCSEL (Vertical
Cavity Surface Emitting Laser) which is low cost and low
power. MMF has the advantage of having lower cost
connectors than SMF because of its wider core. OM3 is now
the preferred choice for structured optical cabling within
buildings.
Volition 10Giga fiber solution
Volition 10Giga fiber solution includes horizontal and
backbone cable with OM3 50/125 µm multimode and 9/125
µm singlemode fibre as part of the system. The optical link
could be designed with innovative 3M field mount connector.
3M SC NPC and LC NPC connector is tested for Premises
and FTTP applications for indoor and outdoor locations and is
available in SM and 50 µm LOMMF(laser optimized
multimode fiber) for 10 Gigabit applications. LC connector
saves space and provides simple administration by
dramatically reducing rack and floor space requirement.
Volition Network Solutions from 3M comply fully and
economically with the advances in 10Gigabit OM3 standards.

3M No Polish Connector
3M Hot Melt Connector
3M™ No Polish Connector (NPC) enables fast, on-site
installation of 250 µm and 900 µm connections utilizing a one
piece, pre-assembled design.
The SC/LC compatible connector consists of a factorypolished ceramic ferrule, fiber stub and a mechanical splice
that is installed with a simple field tool. A bell-shaped boot is
attached to the connector body, minimizing the chance of
losing or forgetting to install the boot during the connection.
The no polish connector is tested for Premises and FTTP
applications for indoor and outdoor locations and is available
in SM, 50 µm LOMMF (laser optimized multimode fiber) for
10 Gb applications. The No Polish Connector meets EIA/TIA
568-B.3 and IEC requirements and is RoHS compliant.
3M Hot Melt Connectors have a proven record of high
performance and ease of use in local area networks around
the world. These connectors are now qualified to TIA/EIA
568B standards for both indoor and outdoor use, including
temperatures as high as 85°C (185°F). Drawing on 70 years
of adhesive expertise and 40 years of experience in ceramic
technology, 3M provides the most convenient, reliable and
easy-to-install connectors on the market. Preloaded adhesive
means no syringe and no epoxy mixing is needed, saving
installation time. The ability to reheat and reposition fiber
within the connector means virtually all connections are
successful, saving time and money. And one kit provides
everything needed to terminate ST, FC, and SC connectors
for both single-mode and multimode applications.
3M Cripmlok Connector
Quick, easy installation and superior performance
To successfully design, install or operate today’s fiber optic
networks, you need components that offer speed and
reliability – from the fiber itself all the way down to the
connectors. That’s why 3M developed a connector that
combines the speed of nonadhesive connectors with the
performance characteristics of epoxy and hot melt connectors.
3M™ Crimplok™ Connectors are the ideal solution for
emergency restoration work or for quickly making fiber
connections at the desk.

3M™ Volition™ Fiber Optic Cable
Volition Fiber Patch Cords
Volition Network Solution from 3M includes horizontal and
backbone cable with OM3 multimode and 9/125um
singlemode fibre as part of 10G solution. OM3 laser
optimized multimode fiber achieve 10Gb/s serial transmission
at 850nm at distances up to 300meters which is enough to
wire in a building. The horizontal cable provides the physical
link between the fibre connector patch panel in the floor
distributor and the fiber connector in the outlet. Both Unitube
and tight buffer fibre cables are available and the cable jacket
can be LSOH, PVC OFNR (Riser rated) or PE for outdoor.
The Fiber Patch Cords are designed at the factory to meet
worldwide specifications. The Patch cords are an integral part
of our optical system and manufactured and tested in our
factory. They ensure the correct performance of the
connection point and of the optical link. The jacket of the
cable can be made of PVC or LSOH for different applications.
The patch cords are available with SC, LC connectors with
OM3 or single mode cable for 10G application.
Volition Fiber Patch Panel
Part of the 3M Fiber Patch Panel product range, this 3M
Volition Classic Patch Panels provide a precise yet stylish
presentation of a slide mounting panel. The patch panel is
available in both 24-ports and 48 ports in 1U versions. The
face of the panel can be exchangeable to different connectors
and is suitable for data centre and local area network
applications. The panel is in Grey and Black Color.
