## Summary description

The ACT 5 meter Multimode 50/125 OM3 Polarity Twist fiber cable features dual LC connectors, ensuring high-speed data transmission. With a core diameter of 50 µm, this cable is ideal for short-distance networking applications, providing reliable performance and minimal signal loss. Its polarity twist design enhances flexibility and ease of installation, making it a perfect choice for both home and office setups.

## Long description

The ACT 5m Multimode 50/125 OM3 Polarity Twist fiber cable with dual LC connectors is designed for short-distance, high-bandwidth network links. Its 50 μm core multimode construction and OM3 rating support reliable transmission for data center patching, switch-to-switch connections, server cabinets and telecommunication racks. The polarity twist feature simplifies cable routing and maintains correct Tx/Rx orientation without additional adapters. The cable length of 5 meters provides flexible placement while keeping signal attenuation low for typical campus and enterprise installations.
Advantages
The OM3 multimode fiber offers optimized modal bandwidth for 10 Gb/s and supports higher speeds over short spans. Dual LC connectors provide compact, high-density termination compatible with common transceivers and patch panels. The 50/125 µm core/cladding dimensions ensure predictable insertion loss and return loss performance. Polarity twist reduces installation errors by preserving channel orientation and allowing installers to manage connections in confined spaces more effectively.
Suitable for
Data center patch panels and top-of-rack connections
Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch links within cabinets
Short-distance backbone segments in enterprise networks
High-speed LAN and campus fiber runs
Key specifications
Cable type: Multimode fiber, OM3
Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
Connector type: LC to LC, duplex
Length: 5 meters
Polarity: Twist (pre-configured to maintain Tx/Rx orientation)
Typical applications: 10 Gb/s and short-reach high-bandwidth links
How to use
Inspect connectors and ports for dust and damage before making connections. Align the LC duplex connector with the corresponding LC port on transceivers or patch panels and insert until the latch engages. Use the polarity twist orientation to match transmitter and receiver pairs without extra patch cords; if necessary, confirm signal paths with test equipment after installation. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and sharp edges, maintaining the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius to limit microbending losses.
Usage recommendations
For best performance, keep connectors clean using suitable fiber cleaning tools, avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius, and secure the cable to prevent strain on connectors. Use this OM3 multimode cable for links up to recommended distances for 10 Gb/s applications and verify end-to-end insertion loss when integrating into existing fiber infrastructure.
