Fibre optic cable ACT RL3405 5 m 2x LC Aqua

The ACT RL3405 is a 5 m OM3 fibre optic cable with 2x LC connectors on both ends and a 50 µm core diameter. Designed for full duplex communication, this aqua-coloured patchcord provides high-speed data transfer and reliable connectivity in network installations. For environments where standard patchcords may be exposed to mechanical stress or harsh conditions, an armored version of fibre optic patchcords—also called armoured fiber optic patchcords—uses a metal armor layer to offer enhanced protection for the cable.

Advantages

The aqua OM3 multimode fibre with 50 µm core supports standard high-speed short-range links and offers compatibility with duplex LC connections. The 5 m length provides flexibility for rack-to-rack or equipment-to-equipment connections. An armored construction option adds a metal protective layer that increases resistance to crushing, rodent damage and abrasion in industrial or offshore environments, improving durability where cables are exposed to extreme conditions.

Suitable for

• Data centre interconnects and patching where LC duplex connections are required
• Short-range high-speed multimode links (OM3) in network cabinets and racks
• Industrial sites or outdoor/offshore locations when armored protection is needed
• Telecom rooms and equipment-to-equipment connections within structured cabling

How to use

Connect each LC duplex connector into the corresponding LC ports on network equipment, ensuring proper orientation and secure seating. Route the cable through cable management paths or ducts to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain the manufacturer's minimum bend radius for OM3 multimode fiber. If operating in harsh environments, select an armored variant and follow standard grounding and installation practices for armored cables where applicable.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid bending the cable beyond recommended limits, protect connectors from contamination by using dust caps until installation, and choose the armored patchcord when installing in locations with mechanical hazards or potential rodent exposure.
