Digitus OM3 Multimode Fiber Optic Patch Cord LC to LC 3 m Duplex 50/125 µm

The Digitus OM3 Multimode Fiber Optic Patch Cord LC to LC 3 m Duplex 50/125 µm is a high-performance networking cable engineered for reliable data transmission in professional IT infrastructure and telecommunications environments. Featuring LC to LC connectors equipped with ceramic ferrules and an OM3 fiber classification, this patch cord supports high-speed network connections and accurate optical signal transfer over a 3-meter length. The cable utilizes a 50/125 µm core diameter in an I-VH duplex structure with a low smoke zero halogen jacket, making it suitable for modern structured cabling systems.

Advantages

This multimode fiber optic patch cord delivers dependable performance for high-speed data transfer applications while maintaining signal integrity across network links. The inclusion of ceramic ferrules in the LC connectors ensures precise alignment and minimizes insertion loss during frequent connections. Constructed with a low smoke zero halogen jacket, the cable helps enhance safety in confined server room environments by reducing toxic smoke emissions in the event of high heat. Each cable is individually packed and supplied with a test report to verify operational readiness straight out of the package.

Suitable for

• Connecting network switches and patch panels in data centers
• High-speed telecommunications and local area network installations
• Professional IT infrastructure environments requiring OM3 performance
• Duplex multi-mode fiber optic network channels

When it may not be suitable

This patch cord is not designed for single-mode fiber optic networks or long-distance outdoor installations requiring direct burial or heavy armoring. It is also incompatible with equipment that utilizes different connector types such as SC or ST without appropriate adapters or conversion modules.

How to use

Carefully remove the dust caps from the LC connectors on both ends of the fiber optic patch cord before installation. Align the connector carefully with the port on your network device, patch panel, or transceiver, and push gently until a secure click is heard. Ensure the cable is routed with proper bend radiuses to avoid placing excessive strain on the fiber strands or connectors. Avoid touching the optical end-faces directly to prevent contamination, and use appropriate cleaning tools if dust or debris accumulates on the ferrule.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network hardware uses LC-type optical ports and supports OM3 multi-mode fiber specifications.
• Confirm that the 3-meter cable length is sufficient to bridge the distance between your target devices without excessive slack.
• Check whether your installation environment requires low smoke zero halogen cabling standards for safety compliance.

Usage recommendations: Inspect and clean the connector end-faces before every critical connection to maintain optimal optical performance. Protect the cable from sharp bends, heavy foot traffic, and pinching to ensure long-term reliability in your network infrastructure.
