Digitus Multimode Fiber Optic Patch Cord OM3 LC to ST Duplex 2 m 50 µm I-VH

The Digitus Multimode Fiber Optic Patch Cord OM3 LC to ST Duplex 2 m 50 µm I-VH is a high-performance networking cable designed for fast and reliable data transmission in professional telecommunication and local area network environments. Manufactured with precision quality standards, this fiber optic patch cord features an OM3 multimode fiber specification supporting high bandwidth requirements up to 10 Gbit/s. Equipped with an LC connector on one end and an ST connector on the other, it provides a dependable physical link between diverse networking hardware components. The cable utilizes a 50 µm core diameter and operates in full duplex mode to ensure simultaneous bidirectional data flow. Built as an I-VH type indoor cable with a low smoke zero halogen jacket, it minimizes toxic and corrosive gases in case of fire, making it a safe choice for modern enterprise installations.

Advantages

This fiber optic cable offers exceptional signal integrity and reliability for demanding network infrastructures. The integration of high-quality ceramic ferrules inside the connectors ensures precise alignment and minimal optical insertion loss during repeated mating cycles. The low smoke zero halogen jacket material enhances safety in enclosed environments by reducing smoke emission and eliminating halogen-based compounds. Each cable is individually packaged and comes with an included test report, verifying its operational readiness and adherence to strict quality parameters right out of the box.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers, and patch panels in enterprise local area networks
• High-speed data center interconnections requiring OM3 multimode performance
• Telecommunication installations utilizing mixed LC and ST interface equipment
• Indoor network wiring where low smoke zero halogen safety standards are required

This product may not be suitable for long-distance outdoor installations or direct burial applications, as it is specifically constructed as an indoor I-VH cable without heavy-duty weatherproofing or armoring. It is also not compatible with single-mode networking equipment or devices that exclusively utilize SC, MTRJ, or other non-matching physical connector interfaces without appropriate adapters or media converters.

Proper handling is essential when installing fiber optic patch cords to maintain optimal optical performance. Before installation, inspect the LC and ST connector end-faces for dust or debris, and clean them using specialized fiber optic cleaning tools if necessary. Carefully align the connectors with the corresponding ports on your network hardware and push gently until a secure click or latch is engaged. Avoid sharp bends, excessive pulling force, and heavy mechanical stress during routing to prevent internal fiber damage or degradation of signal quality.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that both your network devices feature matching LC and ST interface ports
• Check if the 2-meter length is sufficient for your specific equipment placement distance
• Confirm that your network architecture requires an OM3 multimode 50/125 µm fiber specification
• Assess whether indoor I-VH cable construction and low smoke zero halogen properties meet your building safety codes

Always route and secure fiber optic patch cords with adequate bend radius protection and avoid exceeding the recommended tension limits during installation to ensure long-term network reliability.
