Optical Patch Cable electro base SC to LC Duplex OM3 50/125 µm 2.0 m

electro base Optical Patch Cable SC to LC Duplex OM3 50/125 µm, length 2.0 m, is a multimode fiber patch cord intended for short‑reach high‑speed networks, data centers and telecom equipment. It features an SC connector on one end and an LC duplex connector on the other, using OM3 grade 50/125 µm multimode fiber to maintain low insertion loss and consistent signal performance across trunking, patch panels and server links.

Advantages

This optical patch cable provides low attenuation and high modal bandwidth typical of OM3 multimode fiber, allowing reliable transmission for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other high‑speed applications over short distances. The SC and LC duplex connectors offer secure mating and easy installation in mixed‑connector environments. The 2.0 m length delivers sufficient reach for standard rack and cabinet layouts while minimizing excess slack and potential signal degradation.

Suitable for

• Data center interconnects and server to switch links
• Patch panels and structured cabling in telecom rooms
• Short‑reach 10G Ethernet and SAN connections
• Laboratory and testing setups requiring SC to LC conversion

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM3
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector A: SC simplex (single SC on one end forming duplex pair)
• Connector B: LC duplex
• Configuration: Duplex patch cord
• Length: 2.0 m
• Jacket: Standard multimode cable jacket suitable for indoor use
• Typical use environment: Data centers, telecom rooms, server cabinets

How to use

Route the cable between the SC and LC ports, avoiding tight bends and sharp kinks; maintain the minimum bend radius specified for multimode fiber to prevent increased attenuation. Insert the SC connector into the SC adapter or port until it latches, then plug the LC duplex connector into the LC receptacle with gentle pressure until secure. Use cable management such as horizontal/vertical managers or Velcro ties to support the cable and prevent strain on connectors. If cleaning is required, use appropriate fiber‑optic cleaning tools for connector endfaces before mating to reduce insertion loss.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance in 10G and other high‑speed short‑reach links, keep cable runs within recommended OM3 distance limits, protect connector endfaces from dust and contaminants, and store unused cables in a clean, dry environment. Avoid mechanical stress and repeated flexing near the connector boots to preserve low‑loss connections.
