Network Cable Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OM3 50/125 µm LC/ST aqua 20.0 m

The Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OM3 50/125 µm LC/ST aqua 20.0 m is a multimode fiber optic cable designed for high-speed data transmission in structured cabling, data centers and telecommunications racks. It features OM3 graded 50/125 µm fiber with LC connector on one end and ST connector on the other, in a duplex configuration and a 20.0 metre length. The aqua jacket indicates laser-optimized multimode fiber suitable for short to medium distance links where low insertion loss and consistent modal bandwidth are required.

Advantages

The cable provides duplex multimode connectivity with LC and ST connectors allowing compatibility between equipment using different interface types. OM3 50/125 µm fiber supports higher bandwidth and improved modal performance compared to lower graded multimode fibers. The fixed 20.0 m length simplifies planning for longer rack-to-rack or room-to-room connections while the aqua jacket aids identification in dense cable runs. The design reduces signal loss and maintains stable transmission characteristics for common networking rates.

Suitable for

• Connections between switches, patch panels and transceivers in data centers
• Telecommunications room horizontal and inter-room links
• Connecting devices with LC and ST fiber interfaces
• Short to medium distance multimode fiber links supporting high-speed networking

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM3, 50/125 µm
• Configuration: Duplex
• Connectors: LC (one end) to ST (other end)
• Length: 20.0 metres
• Jacket colour: Aqua (laser-optimized multimode identification)

How to use

Verify that both endpoints support multimode OM3 fiber and that the connected equipment accepts LC and ST connectors respectively. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and high-tension pulls; maintain bend radius recommended by the equipment or fiber vendor. Plug the LC connector into the LC receptacle and the ST connector into the ST socket, ensuring connectors are clean before insertion to minimize insertion loss. Secure the cable in cable management elements to prevent strain and accidental disconnection.

Usage recommendations

Clean fiber endfaces with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before installation, avoid exceeding the recommended bend radius, and use labeled cable management to keep runs identifiable in dense installations. For links requiring longer reach or single-mode performance, evaluate appropriate fiber types and connector options.
