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

The C2G 10m LC-LC 10Gb 50/125 OM3 Duplex Multimode PVC Fibre Optic Cable LSZH Aqua is designed for reliable high-speed data transmission in modern network environments. Measuring 10 metres in length, this aqua-coloured fibre optic cable features LC connectors on both ends and utilizes a 50/125 micrometre core diameter to support demanding telecommunication and data centre requirements.

Advantages

This OM3 multimode fibre optic cable delivers exceptional performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications, ensuring efficient data flow across network infrastructure. The inclusion of a Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacket enhances safety in poorly ventilated areas by minimizing the release of toxic and corrosive gases during combustion. Additionally, the cable offers backward compatibility with existing 50/125 equipment and provides the necessary performance headroom to support both LED and VCSEL laser light sources.

Suitable for

• Connecting 10GBase-SR and 10GBase-LRM transceivers
• Linking SFP+ and QSFP+ transceivers in high-speed networks
• Data centre and telecommunication system installations
• Environments requiring halogen-free and low-smoke cabling

When it may not be suitable

This multimode fibre optic cable is not designed for single-mode network infrastructures or long-distance telecommunication runs that exceed the operational limits of OM3 specifications. It is also unsuitable for direct outdoor burial unless housed in appropriate protective conduit.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 10 metres
• Connector types: LC male to LC male
• Core and cladding diameter: 50/125 micrometres
• Fibre type: OM3 duplex multimode
• Data transfer rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen and PVC
• Cable rating: OFNR
• Colour: Aqua

How to use

To install the cable, gently remove protective caps from the LC connectors and align them with the ports on your compatible network hardware, such as transceivers or switches. Push the connector straight into the port until a secure click is heard, ensuring proper alignment to prevent physical damage to the fibre ends. Route the cable carefully along designated cable management pathways, avoiding sharp bends or excessive tension that could impair signal transmission.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network hardware uses LC connectors and supports OM3 multimode fibre standards
• Check the required cable length to ensure the 10-metre reach is sufficient for your setup
• Confirm whether local building safety codes mandate the use of LSZH jacketed cables in your installation area

Usage recommendations

Always inspect and clean the fibre optic connectors with appropriate cleaning tools before insertion to prevent dust and debris from degrading network performance. Maintain gentle bend radiuses during routing and secure the cable properly to ensure long-term signal integrity.
