ACT 40 Meter Multimode 50/125 OM3 Duplex Armored Fiber Patch Cable with LC Connectors

The ACT 40 meter multimode 50/125 OM3 duplex armored fiber patch cable with LC connectors is engineered for high-speed data transmission in demanding and challenging environments. Providing reliable fiber optic connectivity over extended distances, this robust cable features a length of 40 meters and a 50 micrometer core diameter. It is equipped with dual LC connectors on both ends and supports full duplex communication to ensure efficient data transfer for critical networking applications.

Advantages

This armored fiber optic cable offers superior mechanical protection through integrated steel armor, making it exceptionally resilient against physical damage, pressure, and harsh external elements found in industrial settings. Built to meet strict quality standards, it delivers high optical performance complying with grade A specifications according to IEC Standard 61300-3-34. Every individual cable undergoes rigorous testing for insertion loss to ensure complete optical clarity and comes with its own test report, guaranteeing dependable operation right out of the box.

Suitable for

• Enterprise networks requiring extended reach and high bandwidth
• Data centers and telecommunication infrastructures
• Industrial automation and offshore environments exposed to extreme conditions
• Networking setups where cables face physical stress or rodent risk

When it may not be suitable

This cable may not be the ideal choice for standard home office setups or basic indoor installations where standard unarmored patch cables provide sufficient flexibility and cost efficiency. Additionally, the rigid steel armor increases the bending radius and weight of the cable, making it less suitable for cramped spaces with tight cable management requirements.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 40 meters
• Fiber optic type: OM3 multimode
• Core diameter: 50/125 micrometers
• Connector type: 2x LC Male to 2x LC Male
• Duplex capability: Full duplex
• Jacket color: Aqua

How to use

Carefully uncoil the fiber optic patch cable without introducing sharp bends or twists that could damage the internal glass fibers and steel armor. Remove the protective dust caps from the LC connectors immediately before plugging them into the corresponding ports of your network equipment, ensuring a clean and secure connection. Listen for a distinct click to confirm that the connectors are properly locked in place. Route the cable safely along designated pathways, taking advantage of its mechanical protection while respecting the minimum bend radius specifications.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your networking hardware utilizes LC connector interfaces
• Check if the 40-meter length and OM3 multimode specification match your distance and bandwidth requirements
• Ensure that the installation environment benefits from armored physical protection
• Confirm that your cable routing paths accommodate the physical properties of armored cabling

Usage recommendations: Regularly inspect the LC connectors for dust and contamination before deployment, and use appropriate cleaning tools if necessary. Avoid exceeding the recommended bending radius during installation to maintain optimal optical performance and longevity of the cable.
