Optical patch cord electro base SC to LC multimode OM3 1.5 m LSZH

Optical patch cord electro base SC to LC multimode OM3 1.5 m LSZH is a factory-terminated fiber jumper designed for indoor data center and enterprise cabling. The cable features an SC connector on one end and an LC connector on the other, multimode OM3 fiber optimized for short-range high-speed links, and a low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket suitable for indoor installations where reduced toxic fumes are required. The 1.5 m length provides a balance between reach and tidy cable management in patch panels, switches, and optical transceivers.

Advantages

The multimode OM3 fiber supports high bandwidth and laser-optimized transmission for short-range 10/40/100 Gbps applications. The SC and LC connector combination enables compatibility between different equipment types and allows straightforward mating in mixed-connector environments. The LSZH outer jacket minimizes smoke and halogen emissions in case of fire, meeting safety requirements for enclosed spaces. Factory-terminated connectors ensure consistent insertion loss and return loss within typical industry tolerances, reducing installation time compared with field-terminated alternatives.

Suitable for

• Data center patching between switches, servers, and transceivers
• Internal horizontal cabling in enterprise premises
• Connections between multimode optical equipment with SC and LC ports
• Short-range high-speed links such as 10G, 40G, and 100G within racks and equipment rooms

How to use

Route the optical patch cord between the SC and LC ports of the intended devices, avoiding sharp bends and mechanical strain. Ensure connectors and port adapters are clean before mating; use appropriate fiber cleaning tools to remove dust or debris. Insert the SC connector into the SC adapter until it clicks and align and insert the LC connector into the LC receptacle with gentle pressure. Secure excess cable length with cable management accessories to prevent stress on the connectors and maintain minimum bend radius guidelines for OM3 fiber.

Usage recommendations

Store the patch cord in a dry, dust-free environment when not in use. Perform visual inspection and cleaning of connector endfaces before each connection. Avoid exceeding manufacturer-recommended bend radius and tensile limits to preserve optical performance and service life.
