Fiber patch cable duplex LC connectors ACT 30 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM3

The ACT 30 meter LSZH Multimode 50/125 OM3 fiber patch cable with duplex LC connectors is designed for reliable short- to medium-reach optical links in structured cabling systems. This OM3 multimode fiber supports high-speed data transmission and is suitable for use in data centers, server rooms and office networks where low attenuation and controlled modal bandwidth are required. The LSZH jacket reduces toxic and corrosive gas emissions in the event of fire, making the cable appropriate for indoor installations and areas with ventilation or safety restrictions.

Advantages

The cable provides duplex LC terminations for easy plug-and-play connections to transceivers and network equipment, minimizing connector footprint while maintaining high connection density. As an OM3 50/125 multimode fiber it offers improved bandwidth and lower modal dispersion compared with lower-grade multimode fibers, supporting common multimode 10 Gigabit Ethernet and lower-speed applications over the specified distances. The LSZH outer jacket enhances safety in enclosed spaces by limiting smoke and halogen emissions during combustion.

Suitable for

• Short- to medium-distance 10 Gigabit Ethernet links within data centers and server rooms
• Interconnects between switches, routers and patch panels in office environments
• Multimode transceiver connections and duplex optical equipment links

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode 50/125 µm (OM3)
• Connector type: Duplex LC to Duplex LC
• Length: 30 meters
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Performance: Optimized for multimode 10 Gbps links and general multimode applications
• Polish/termination: Factory-terminated polished connectors for consistent insertion loss

How to use

Route the cable along cable trays or through cable management pathways to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress. Insert each LC connector into the corresponding duplex LC port on the transceiver or patch panel until it clicks into place, ensuring the correct polarity for transmit and receive channels. Avoid exceeding the minimum bend radius specified for multimode fiber and secure the cable to prevent movement that could stress connectors. When disconnecting, depress the LC latch and pull straight out without twisting the connector.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, clean connector endfaces before mating, maintain bend radii greater than the minimum recommended for OM3 fibers, and store spare cable lengths in gentle coils. Use in indoor environments with fire-safety requirements where LSZH jackets are required or preferred.
