Quality 10Gb OM3 Fiber Cables

[Black Ninja]

Can somebody recommend a quality vendor for 10Gb fiber LC OM3 cables ?

I always used to order mine from CK cables and I've been satisfied with them till recently. It's seem they just drop the ball, my last order was in soft envelope instead of box (like always was before) and look like the picture below.


Anybody has any recommendations for new vendor to switch to ?

I bought 40 of these and they're great.

Hi Mlovelace,
By the way I purchase 64GB like yours (memory) for my x9srl and been very happy, so thanks a lot for your help sharing your exp.

Now these cables you mention have fantastic price, are they really high on the quality side ?

 

[Mlovelace]

Happy to help. The cables are just as good as some tripp-lite ones I had.

Are they coming from china ?

Yep, just like 99% of tech sold these days.

Oh I agree 100%. The fact the is coming from china don't mean is lower quality cause even the best stuff are made there too, but so are the worst. I meant you are ordering directly from china with this web site ?

I guess I am trying to find the "MONSTER CABLE" for Fiber cable om3 , I've never been MONOPRICE fan.

I've also used cable matters om4 cables, they are good as well.

When you buy from fc.com what shipping option you chose ? Are they coming well packed ?

 

[Mlovelace]

They ship FedEx. If you're just buying one cable the shipping isn't going to be worth the savings on the price of the cable. Buy a tripp-lite or cable matters off Amazon.

 

[Black Ninja]

Right. I see the pricing, but I was wondering are they packed well prior to shipping ?

Ah, so the one that's overpriced by a factor of 10, with pseudoscientific hand-waving about why they're better?

I just ordered 12 optics from them and they packaged very well. The whole process was actually very good. Shipping is some what prohibitive if you're going to get just one cable, but if you plan on buying more then it's definitely worth it.

You mean fc.com , right ? You used them in the past ?

You mean fS.com? If so then yeah. I've used them . I just got my order and everything was very neatly packed and well insulated.

Just ask Mlovelace or CookiesLikeWhoa to sell you one or two of theirs. I'm sure they could provide you with pricing that is competitive with the ones from Monster. :P

I rather buy overpriced quality product than underpriced junk. If you don't see the value in buying Monster products it is your choice. I am always for having the option of choice. If you think "it's all the same" save your money and buy cheaper, but no reason to mock what you think is not worth your money.

P.S. I had a monoprice usb cable and few other items. Here is a pic what my monoprice cable looks like after sitting in my car for a year. I took a picture before I dispose it. My 10 years old monster usb cable look the same way day I bought it.

That sounds great. Thanks.

P.S. I meant fs.com not fc.com

As would I, but I would yet prefer to buy reasonably-priced quality. I do (and will) not call Monster junk, but I will call 90+% of their marketing bullshit, and most of their gear significantly overpriced for what it is.
