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

The Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OM3 50/125 µm with ST/ST connectors and a 0.5 m length is a multimode fiber patch lead designed for short-range, high-speed network interconnections. Its OM3 grade glass core (50/125 µm) supports dense optical data transmission with reduced modal dispersion, while ST connectors provide a bayonet-style coupling common in networking equipment. The aqua jacket identifies the OM3 performance class and helps with quick visual identification in cabling bundles.

Advantages

This OM3 duplex cable delivers stable, low-loss signal transmission over short distances and is suitable for high-bandwidth applications. The ST/ST connector pairing offers secure mechanical retention and reliable mating cycles. The 0.5 m length reduces excess slack in patch panels and equipment racks, improving airflow and cable management. The aqua-colored jacket and multimode 50/125 µm construction enable easy identification and compatibility with OM3-standard transceivers and patching infrastructure.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Patch connections between switches, servers, and transceivers in data centers
• Short-range backbone and horizontal multimode links within racks or cabinets
• Laboratory test setups and fiber-optic equipment benches
• Upgrading or replacing multimode patch leads in enterprise or campus networks

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM3, 50/125 µm core/cladding
• Connector types: ST to ST (duplex)
• Length: 0.5 meters
• Jacket color: Aqua (OM3 identification)
• Structure: Duplex patch cable, two-fiber construction
• Typical use: Short-range, high-bandwidth multimode links

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces for cleanliness before installation and clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools if necessary. Route the cable between devices ensuring bend radius is not exceeded and avoid tight bends or kinks. Align and insert each ST connector into the corresponding ST receptacle, twisting the bayonet coupling until it seats firmly. Confirm link integrity using network diagnostics or optical loss test equipment as required by the installation procedures.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a dry, dust-free environment. Maintain minimum bend radius as specified by fiber standards (typically 10× the cable outer diameter under no-load conditions) and avoid pulling on the fiber itself. For best performance, match OM3 patch cords with OM3-rated transceivers and components to ensure optimal multimode performance.
