Network Cable Ekivalan OM3 Duplex Patch Cable 50/125 µm SC/SC aqua 0.5 m

The Ekivalan OM3 Duplex Patch Cable 50/125 µm SC/SC aqua 0.5 m is a multimode fiber patch lead engineered for short-range, high-bandwidth connections. Featuring OM3-rated 50/125 µm core/cladding geometry and factory-terminated SC connectors on both ends, the cable supports reliable optical transmission between active network equipment in racks, patch panels and switches. Its 0.5 m length and duplex configuration suit short patching runs where space is limited and signal integrity is required.

Advantages

This OM3 duplex cable offers consistent multimode performance for 10GbE and other high-speed applications across short to medium distances. SC/SC connectors provide push-pull coupling with low insertion loss and repeatable mating cycles. The aqua jacket color indicates OM3 specification for easy identification in structured cabling. Compact 0.5 m length reduces excess slack in dense cabinet and patch-panel installations, improving airflow and cable management.

Suitable for

• Short-distance interconnects between switches, transceivers and patch panels
• Data center rack-to-rack or within-rack fiber patching
• Enterprise LAN backbone segments and server connectivity
• Multimode optical links using SC connector interfaces

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode (OM3) with 50/125 µm core/cladding
• Connector type: SC to SC duplex, polished terminations
• Length: 0.5 m
• Jacket color: Aqua (OM3 identification)
• Configuration: Duplex (two fibers for transmit and receive)
• Applications: Short-range high-speed optical links (e.g., 10GbE)

How to use

Install the cable by aligning each SC connector with the corresponding SC adapter or transceiver port and gently inserting until the connector latches. Ensure the transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) orientation matches the connected equipment. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends or excessive tension; maintain the minimum bend radius specified for multimode fiber when planning the routing. For best results, perform optical link testing after installation to verify insertion loss and end-to-end signal quality.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the OM3 fiber cable in a clean environment to prevent contamination of connector end faces. Use dust caps when ports are not in use, and clean connector end faces with appropriate fiber optic cleaning tools before mating. Avoid tight bends, kinks and pinching; keep cable runs short and neatly dressed in racks or conduits to preserve performance.
