Fiber Optic Cable Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OM3 50/125 µm LC/LC aqua 20.0 m

The Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OM3 50/125 µm LC/LC aqua 20.0 m is a multimode fiber patch cord designed for high‑speed network links and data center connections. Its duplex configuration with LC connectors on both ends supports simultaneous transmit and receive channels, while the OM3 50/125 µm fiber core is optimized for short‑reach 10Gbps and higher bandwidth applications. The 20.0 meter length and aqua jacket color make this cable suitable for organized cabling environments and visible runs between racks, switches, and transceivers.

Advantages

This fiber cable offers low insertion loss and reduced modal dispersion typical of OM3 multimode fiber, enabling stable high‑bandwidth transmissions over short to mid distances. The LC/LC connector pair provides a compact footprint and reliable mating with standard LC ports found in modern networking equipment. The duplex construction ensures full‑duplex communication while the standardized 50/125 µm core/cladding geometry maintains compatibility with common multimode transceivers and patch panels.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in data centers and server rooms
• Patching between switches, routers, and transceiver modules
• Short‑reach multimode links within campus networks and wiring closets
• Connecting optical transceivers with LC interfaces

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM3, 50/125 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC, duplex
• Length: 20.0 m
• Jacket color: Aqua
• Typical use: Short‑reach high‑speed data transmission
• Performance characteristics: Low insertion loss and optimized modal bandwidth for OM3

How to use

Route the cable along cable trays or designated pathways to avoid tight bends and mechanical stress; adhere to minimum bend radius recommendations for multimode fiber. Align and insert the LC connectors into the corresponding LC ports until they click into place, ensuring duplex orientation matches transmit and receive channels. Verify link lights on connected equipment and, if necessary, perform optical power or continuity tests to confirm correct installation and acceptable loss levels. When disconnecting, press the LC latch and pull straight out to avoid damage.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the fiber patch cable in a clean environment and avoid contaminating connector end faces. Use dust caps when connectors are not in use and perform end‑face inspection and cleaning before mating for optimal signal integrity. For distances or applications beyond OM3 specifications, consider appropriate fiber types or active transceivers to meet link budget requirements.
