Hi All ,
I want to find out if I can use a cisco GLC-SX-MM SPF on an OM3 fibre.

Yes, you can use the GLC-SX-MM with OM-3 fiber.
The specs for OM-3 fiber is for laser-optimized 50 µm fiber with a minimum of 2000 MHz-km effective modal bandwidth (laser band-
width). Per Table 1 of the Cisco SFP specification sheet (URL below), this module pn OM-3 fiber will have an effective reach of 1000 meters.
Hope this helps!

Yes you can. Make sure not only both sides are using OM3 but the horizontal cabling is too. We're using OM3 all over the place.
