Optical Patch Cable electro base SC to LC, Multimode OM3 50/125, 3.0 m

Optical patch cable by electro base with SC connector on one end and LC connector on the other. The cable uses multimode OM3 fiber with 50/125 µm core/cladding and a length of 3.0 m, designed for short‑range high‑bandwidth links in data centers, LANs and telecommunication racks. It provides standardized multimode performance for patching, testing and interconnects, supporting common multimode transceivers and infrastructure.

Advantages

This SC to LC multimode OM3 patch cable offers stable optical performance with low insertion loss and reliable connector mating. The 50/125 µm OM3 fiber is optimized for laser-based sources, enabling higher bandwidth and extended reach compared to lower-grade multimode fibers. The mixed connector set (SC to LC) allows flexible connections between equipment with differing ports without need for adapters, while the 3.0 m length fits typical rack and cabinet layouts.

Suitable for

• Data center patch panels and server connections
• Local area network (LAN) backbones and horizontal cabling
• Telecommunication equipment racks and optical enclosures
• Testing, measurement and temporary interconnects

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM3
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connectors: SC (one end) to LC (other end)
• Length: 3.0 m
• Suitable for laser-optimized multimode transceivers and 10G/40G links at appropriate channel lengths

How to use

Route the optical patch cable between the SC port and the LC port ensuring minimum bend radius is maintained to avoid increased attenuation. Before connecting, inspect connector endfaces for contamination and clean with appropriate fiber cleaning tools if necessary. Insert each connector until it latches or seats securely; verify link status on connected equipment and, if required, perform insertion loss testing or certification according to site procedures.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the multimode OM3 cable without sharp bends, kinks or excessive tensile load. Use cable management and labeling in racks to prevent stress on connector housings. For best performance, clean connector endfaces before mating and replace damaged cables to maintain link reliability.
