Fiber optic patch cable EASYLAN LC–LC OM3 2 m, multimode 50 µm

EASYLAN LC–LC OM3 2 m multimode fiber optic patch cable provides short-range, high-bandwidth connectivity for data center and enterprise network environments. The cable features LC male connectors on both ends and an OM3 50 µm multimode fibre optimized for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and InfiniBand interconnects. At 2 meters length this patch cord is suitable for connecting equipment within server racks, switches and patch panels while maintaining low insertion loss and consistent signal quality.

Advantages

The OM3 multimode construction with 50 µm core diameter supports reduced modal dispersion and improved bandwidth-distance performance compared with lower-grade multimode fibres, enabling reliable 10 GBASE-SR and similar short-range links. LC connectors deliver compact mating compatible with high-density ports and minimize space usage in racks. The pre-terminated factory-polished ends ensure repeatable low-loss connections and straightforward deployment without the need for onsite termination.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet short-range links (SR)
• InfiniBand connections in server clusters
• Inter-rack and intra-rack patching in data centers
• Patching between switches, transceivers and patch panels

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Multimode OM3
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC (both ends male)
• Length: 2 m
• Typical applications: 10 Gb/s Ethernet, InfiniBand
• Construction: Pre-terminated, factory-polished

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces for dust or contamination before mating; clean with appropriate fibre cleaning tools if needed. Align and insert each LC connector into the corresponding LC adapter or transceiver until it clicks. Avoid sharp bends and maintain minimum bend radius during routing to prevent increased attenuation. When disconnecting, depress the LC latch and pull straight out to avoid stressing the connector or fibre. Store unused ends with protective dust caps to preserve endface quality.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this OM3 LC–LC patch cable within recommended distance limits for multimode 10 Gb/s links, keep connectors clean and protected, and route cables to avoid tight bends and mechanical strain. Match cable type and connector polish with installed transceivers and adapters for best insertion loss and return loss characteristics.
