Multimode Fiber Optic Cable ACT 30m OM3 8 Fibers LC Connectors

Multimode Fiber Optic Cable ACT 30m OM3 8 Fibers LC Connectors is a ready-to-use pre-terminated fiber optic cable with eight multimode fibers and LC connectors on both ends. Designed for indoor and outdoor installations, the cable uses OM3 multimode fiber with a 50 μm core diameter and a 50/125 μm cladding specification to support high-speed data transmission across short and medium distances. The cable is supplied pre-terminated and individually tested with a test report for each unit.

Advantages

Pre-terminated ACT cable eliminates the need for on-site termination tools and test equipment because connectors are factory-fitted and each assembly is individually measured. The cable offers low optical attenuation (average around 0.10 dB, maximum 0.15 dB), robust mechanical protection with a transparent protective tube over the fanout and connectors, and a compact protective hose of 18 mm diameter that eases routing through conduits. The construction includes a drawbar eye and is rated to withstand pull forces up to 350 N.

Suitable for

• Connecting different rooms within a building
• Linking floors in multi-storey buildings
• Connecting separate buildings on the same site
• Network installations requiring fast deployment without on-site termination

When it may not be suitable

This multimode OM3 pre-terminated cable is intended for short- to medium-range data links and structured cabling. It may not be suitable for long-distance singlemode links or applications that require splicing or field-terminated connectors. Also, environments that demand special armouring or higher mechanical protection than provided may require a different cable type.

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM3 (50/125 μm)
• Number of fibers: 8
• Connectors: LC (pre-terminated, both ends)
• Length: 30 m
• Average attenuation: ~0.10 dB (typical)
• Maximum attenuation: 0.15 dB (maximum)
• Protective hose diameter: 18 mm
• Maximum tensile load: 350 N
• Indoor/outdoor rated; suitable for horizontal and vertical use

How to use

Install the cable by routing the protective hose through conduits or along cable trays to the required endpoints. Remove only the minimal amount of outer protection at the connector ends if access to the LC connectors is needed; the transparent tube protects the fanout and connectors during handling. Connect the LC connectors directly to compatible LC ports or patch panels. Follow the supplied test report and perform verification tests at the network endpoints if required. Scan the QR code on the cable for manufacturer installation instructions and handling guidance.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that OM3 multimode fiber (50/125 μm) matches your network transceivers and distance requirements
• Verify that LC connectors are compatible with your equipment or patch panels
• Ensure 30 m length is sufficient or order a different length to avoid splices
• Check site requirements for mechanical protection if higher armouring is needed

Usage recommendations

Use the ACT 30m OM3 pre-terminated cable where fast, reliable fiber links are needed without field termination. Route the cable with minimal bending, avoid exceeding the 350 N tensile load, and follow the QR-linked installation instructions to preserve the low attenuation performance.
