Network Cable Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OM3 50/125 µm ST/ST aqua 50.0 m

The Ekivalan LWL Duplex Patch Cable OM3 50/125 µm ST/ST in aqua is a multimode fiber patch lead designed for structured cabling and network links. At 50.0 m length it provides a ready-made duplex connection with ST terminations on both ends, suitable for indoor backbone or horizontal runs where OM3 performance is required. The aqua jacket and 50/125 µm core/cladding geometry identify the cable as OM3 multimode, optimized for high-speed Ethernet and fiber channel applications over moderate distances.

Advantages

This OM3 duplex patch cable delivers consistent multimode transmission characteristics and easy installation thanks to ST connectors which provide reliable bayonet coupling. The 50.0 m length reduces the need for intermediate joins in many installations, while the standardized 50/125 µm dimensions and OM3 grading support higher bandwidth and laser-optimized operation compared with lower multimode categories. The pre-terminated assembly minimizes termination time and helps maintain signal integrity in patch panels and active equipment connections.

Suitable for

• Data center patching between switches and transceivers
• Campus and enterprise backbone links where multimode OM3 is specified
• Connecting multimode fiber equipment with ST interfaces
• Server room horizontal runs up to moderate distances

Key specifications

• Fiber type: multimode
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• OM grade: OM3 (aqua jacket)
• Connector type: ST on both ends (duplex)
• Cable length: 50.0 m
• Jacket color: aqua

How to use

Route the duplex patch cable between the appropriate patch panel ports, switch SFP/SFP+ modules or other active equipment. Align and insert the ST connectors by pushing and twisting the bayonet coupling until it locks, ensuring each fiber is connected to the matching transmit/receive port. Avoid sharp bends and maintain the cable bend radius recommended for multimode fiber to preserve performance. Use cable management and strain relief to prevent tugging on the connectors and to keep the run tidy within racks or conduit.

Usage recommendations

Inspect connector endfaces before connection and clean with fiber-optic cleaning tools if necessary. Do not exceed recommended bend radii, and avoid exposure to excessive heat or mechanical stress. For critical high-speed links, verify insertion loss and optical return loss with appropriate test equipment after installation.
