Optical patch cable electro base SC–LC, duplex OM3 50/125 µm, 1.0 m

Electro base SC–LC duplex optical patch cable, multimode OM3 50/125 µm, length 1.0 m, provides a compact fiber connection between SC and LC interfaces for high‑density racks and lab setups. The cable supports standardized SC and LC connectors in a duplex configuration, offering OM3 multimode performance suitable for short to medium distance 10 Gigabit Ethernet links and other multimode transceiver applications. Its flexible jacket and compact dimensions simplify routing in patch panels and switch cabinets while maintaining consistent optical performance.

Advantages

The cable combines an SC connector on one end and an LC connector on the other, enabling direct connection between equipment with different port types without adapters. OM3 50/125 µm multimode fiber ensures low modal dispersion and supports higher bandwidth for short‑reach 10 GbE links. The duplex polarity allows simultaneous transmit and receive channels, and the 1.0 m length reduces excess slack in rack installations. A flexible outer jacket and tight bend performance make the cable suitable for dense cable management environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting patch panels to SFP+/transceiver modules in data centers
• Linking switches, media converters and transceivers with mixed SC and LC ports
• Short‑reach multimode 10 Gigabit Ethernet links within racks and wiring closets
• Laboratory and test bench setups requiring reliable duplex fiber connections

How to use

Inspect connectors and cable for visible damage or contamination before installation. Align the SC connector with the SC receptacle and insert until it latches; align the LC connector with the LC duplex port and push until it clicks. Verify duplex polarity so transmit and receive channels correspond correctly between connected devices. After connection, secure cable routing to avoid sharp bends and prevent strain on the connectors. Perform optical loss or link tests as needed to confirm acceptable insertion loss and link performance.

Usage recommendations

Handle connectors by the boot or ferrule housing and keep protective caps on unused ends to avoid contamination. Maintain bend radii above manufacturer limits and avoid repeated tight bends. For best performance in 10 GbE applications, use clean connectors and verify link parameters after installation.
