C2G 3m LC-LC 10Gb 50/125 OM3 Duplex Multimode PVC Fibre Optic Cable LSZH Aqua

The C2G 3m LC-LC 10Gb 50/125 OM3 Duplex Multimode PVC Fibre Optic Cable LSZH Aqua is engineered to provide reliable, high-speed data transmission for demanding network environments. Featuring an aqua-colored, halogen-free jacket with low smoke zero halogen properties, this fibre optic cable minimizes the release of toxic and corrosive gases in poorly ventilated spaces. With a length of 3 meters, it offers flexible routing options for connecting network equipment within racks or across adjacent spaces.

Advantages

This OM3 multimode fibre optic cable delivers exceptional performance headroom, supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications, LED light sources, and VCSEL laser light sources. The duplex configuration allows for simultaneous bidirectional data transmission, making it highly efficient for heavy data traffic. Additionally, the cable provides full backward compatibility with existing 50/125 equipment, allowing seamless integration into current network infrastructures without requiring complete hardware overhauls.

Suitable for

• Connecting 10GBase-SR, 10GBase-LRM, SFP+, and QSFP+ transceivers
• High-speed 10Gb network connections in data centres
• Telecommunication applications requiring reliable full duplex fibre optic transmission
• Environments requiring low smoke zero halogen cable jacketing for safety

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not designed for long-distance outdoor installations or direct burial without appropriate protective conduit. It is a multimode cable intended for shorter runs and is not suitable for single-mode network infrastructures that require extended reach across multiple kilometers.

How to use

To use the fibre optic cable, carefully unpack it and inspect the connectors for any dust or debris. Remove the protective dust caps from the LC connectors on both ends. Align the connector with the corresponding port on your network device, such as an SFP+ transceiver or switch, and push gently until it clicks securely into place. Ensure the cable is not bent beyond its minimum bend radius during installation to prevent signal loss or physical damage to the fibre strand inside.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network hardware uses LC connectors and supports multimode 50/125 OM3 specifications
• Measure the required distance between devices to ensure the 3-meter length is sufficient
• Check if local safety regulations require low smoke zero halogen cable ratings for your installation site

Usage recommendations

Always keep the protective dust caps on the LC connectors until the moment of installation to prevent dust and particulate contamination. Clean the connector end-faces with specialized fibre optic cleaning tools before mating if signal degradation is observed. Avoid excessive pulling tension, sharp bends, and crushing forces during cable management.
