Optical Patch Cable Corning LC/LC OM3 50/125 3 m turquoise

Corning Optical Patch Cable LC/LC OM3 50/125 3 m in turquoise is a multimode fiber patch cord designed for high-speed links in data centers, LANs and server rooms. The cable uses 50/125 µm graded multimode fiber with OM3 performance and LC duplex connectors on both ends. With a 3 meter length and a color-coded turquoise jacket, this patch cable supports standardized multimode installations and straightforward connector mating for reliable signal transmission between active equipment and patch panels.

Advantages

The Corning OM3 LC/LC patch cable delivers predictable insertion and return loss performance due to industry-standard LC connectors and OM3 fiber specification. Its 50/125 µm multimode core supports high-bandwidth short-reach links and is compatible with common multimode transceivers. The turquoise jacket provides quick visual identification of OM3 class fiber in consolidated cabling environments while the 3 m length offers flexibility for rack-to-rack and equipment-to-panel connections without excessive slack.

Suitable for

• Data center patching and inter-rack connections
• Local area network backbone and horizontal runs
• Server room equipment cabling and patch panels
• Short-reach multimode links with LC interface

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM3, 50/125 µm core/cladding
• Connector type: LC duplex on both ends
• Length: 3 meters
• Jacket color: Turquoise (OM3 identification)
• Application: Short-reach, high-bandwidth multimode networks

How to use

Route the 3 m LC/LC patch cable between the two LC-compatible ports to be connected, avoiding sharp bends and excessive tensile stress. Ensure connectors are clean before insertion and use dust caps until final mating to reduce contaminants. Insert each LC connector until the latch engages and verify link status on connected equipment. For best optical performance, follow structured cabling bend-radius guidelines and do not exceed recommended tensile loads during installation.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the OM3 patch cable in a clean environment and perform connector cleaning with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before installation. Use the 3 m length for direct patching in racks or short interconnect runs; for longer distances select appropriate multimode or single-mode cables. Periodically inspect and clean connectors to maintain low insertion loss and reliable network performance.
