OM3 Fiber Patch Cable ACT 27 meter Duplex LC Connectors

The ACT 27 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM3 fiber patch cable with duplex LC connectors is designed for high-speed data transmission in structured cabling environments. With a 50 µm core and OM3 grading, the cable supports multimode optical links over medium distances and enables full duplex communication through its duplex LC terminations. The low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket reduces toxic and corrosive gas emission in the event of a fire, making it suitable for use in enclosed spaces such as data centers and office buildings.

Advantages

This OM3 fiber patch cable offers consistent multimode performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other high-bandwidth applications across short to medium link lengths. Duplex LC connectors provide a compact, reliable connection with low insertion loss and easy mating in dense patch panels. The LSZH jacket improves safety by limiting smoke and halogen release, and the 27 meter length gives flexibility for routing between racks, switches, and equipment locations without additional splicing.

Suitable for

• Data center rack-to-rack interconnects
• Server to switch or switch to switch fiber links
• Office building vertical and horizontal structured cabling
• Short- to medium-distance multimode Ethernet links (including 10GbE)

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM3
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Length: 27 meters
• Connector type: Duplex LC on both ends
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Mode: Duplex (bi-directional full duplex links)
• Typical applications: 10 Gigabit Ethernet and multimode optical networks

How to use

Uncoil the cable carefully to avoid introducing bends tighter than the minimum bend radius specified for OM3 multimode fiber. Align and insert each LC connector into the corresponding LC adapter or transceiver port until it clicks. Ensure transmit (TX) and receive (RX) channels are correctly matched at both ends to maintain full duplex communication. When routing, secure the cable using proper cable management to prevent strain on the connectors and to maintain bend radius and attenuation performance.

Usage recommendations

Store and install the cable in environments that comply with LSZH requirements; avoid sharp bends and kinks and use appropriate dust caps on connectors when not in use. For optimal performance, verify connector end-face cleanliness before connection and use an inspection microscope or approved cleaning tools to remove any contamination.
