Optical patch cord electro base SC to LC, multimode OM3, 10 m, LSZH

electro base optical patch cord with an SC connector on one end and an LC connector on the other provides a compact multimode connection for short‑reach high‑speed networks. The cable uses OM3 multimode fiber and a low‑smoke, zero‑halogen (LSZH) jacket. With a 10 m length, this patch cord is intended for use in structured cabling, patch panels and data center trunks where reliable multimode connections and reduced smoke emissions are required.

Advantages

This OM3 multimode SC–LC patch cord delivers stable signal transmission for 10 GbE and other short‑reach applications where multimode performance is needed. The LSZH jacket reduces toxic and corrosive gas release in case of fire, improving safety in enclosed spaces. The SC to LC duplex connection simplifies mating between devices and patch panels that use mixed connector types while maintaining low insertion loss and return loss typical for factory‑assembled fiber patch cords.

Suitable for

• Data center horizontal and equipment connections
• Server to switch patching in multimode environments
• Patch panels and fiber distribution frames
• Short‑reach 10 GbE and storage area network links

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM3
• Connector A: SC
• Connector B: LC
• Length: 10 m
• Jacket material: LSZH (low‑smoke, zero‑halogen)
• Mode: Multimode duplex
• Typical application: Short‑reach high‑speed links (e.g., 10 GbE)

How to use

Route the patch cord along cable management paths to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress. Insert the SC connector into the SC adapter or port until it clicks, and insert the LC connector into the LC adapter or port until it latches. Ensure connectors and adapters are clean before mating to avoid performance degradation; use a fiber cleaning tool if necessary. When disconnecting, release the LC latch and pull the SC connector straight out to avoid damaging the ferrule or jacket.

Usage recommendations

For consistent performance, maintain minimum bend radii and avoid tight loops; store unused lengths on appropriate reels or ties. Use labeled patching and proper cable management in racks and panels to simplify maintenance. Replace the patch cord if physical damage to the jacket, connectors, or visible fiber endfaces is detected.
