DIGITUS Fiber Optic Multimode Patch Cord OM3 LC to SC 1 m I-VH 50 µm Full Duplex

The DIGITUS Fiber Optic Multimode Patch Cord OM3 LC to SC 1 m I-VH 50 µm Full Duplex is a high-quality optical cable designed for reliable and stable data transmission in modern network environments. Featuring an OM3 fiber specification with a 50 µm core diameter and 125 µm cladding, this patch cord supports high-speed data rates up to 10 Gbit/s. It is equipped with an LC connector on one end and an SC connector on the other, making it suitable for connecting various network devices such as switches, routers, and media converters. The cable utilizes a full duplex multi-mode configuration and an I-VH cable type with a low smoke zero halogen jacket, ensuring safety and compliance with standard building regulations.

Advantages

This fiber optic patch cord offers exceptional performance for demanding network applications. The inclusion of ceramic ferrules in the connectors ensures precise alignment and minimal signal loss during transmission. The low smoke zero halogen outer jacket minimizes toxic and corrosive gasses in the event of a fire, making it safer for indoor installations. Each cable is individually packed and comes with a test report to verify quality and performance. The aqua-colored jacket allows for easy identification as an OM3 multimode cable within crowded server rooms or patch panels.

Suitable for

• High-speed data transmission in local area networks
• Connecting network hardware in server rooms and data centers
• Telecommunication network installations
• Linking switches, routers, and fiber patch panels

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not suitable for long-distance outdoor installations, as it is designed for indoor use and has a length of 1 meter. It cannot be used with single-mode equipment or networks requiring single-mode fiber specifications due to the core diameter and multi-mode design.

Key specifications

• OM3 multimode fiber optic cable
• LC male to SC male connectors
• 1 meter cable length
• 50/125 µm core and cladding diameter
• Full duplex transmission support
• Data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s
• Low smoke zero halogen jacket material
• 2 mm cable diameter
• Aqua color

How to use

Before installation, inspect the connectors for any dust or debris and clean them using appropriate optical cleaning tools if necessary. Carefully align the LC connector with the port on the first network device until it clicks into place, ensuring the latch is engaged. Repeat the process with the SC connector on the second device. Avoid sharp bends or excessive pulling during routing to maintain signal integrity and prevent damage to the internal glass fibers.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the connector types required by your network equipment to ensure compatibility with LC and SC interfaces
• Check the required cable length to ensure 1 meter is sufficient for your connection setup
• Confirm that your network infrastructure utilizes multimode OM3 fiber standards

Always route fiber optic patch cables with care, maintaining the manufacturer's recommended minimum bend radius to prevent signal degradation and mechanical failure.
