Optical patch cord electro base SC/LC Duplex OM3 15 m LSZH

Duplex optical patch cord from electro base featuring SC to LC connectors, OM3 multimode fiber and a 15 m length. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) outer jacket reduces hazardous smoke and toxic gas emissions in the event of a fire, making the cable suitable for use in confined or populated spaces. This SC/LC Duplex OM3 15 m LSZH patch cord provides consistent multimode performance for medium-distance data links, telecommunication racks and structured cabling installations where duplex connectivity is required.

Advantages

The patch cord combines standardized SC and LC connector terminations to ensure compatibility with a wide range of fiber equipment and adapter panels. OM3 multimode fiber supports higher bandwidth and improved modal performance compared with lower-grade multimode fibers, enabling reliable transmission for 10 Gbps and other short-reach applications. The LSZH jacket decreases the release of corrosive and toxic gases during combustion and limits smoke density, improving safety in data centres, telecom rooms and public buildings. Duplex construction provides paired transmit and receive channels in a single cable assembly for simplified routing and installation.

Suitable for

• Data centre uplinks and inter-rack fiber connections
• Telecommunications equipment and optical patch panels
• Local area network (LAN) multimode links up to medium distances
• Short-reach 10 Gbps links where OM3 fiber is specified
• Environments requiring reduced smoke and halogen-free cabling

Key specifications

• Length: 15 m
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Polish/termination: factory-terminated, duplex assembly
• Typical use: multimode data and telecom links, patching

How to use

Route the duplex patch cord between the SC and LC ports or through fiber patch panels following standard installation practices. Ensure connectors and adapters are clean and free of dust before mating to avoid signal loss or connector damage. Maintain the cable minimum bend radius during routing and when dressing in racks or conduits to preserve optical performance. For multi-segment links, confirm correct polarity (transmit to receive) when connecting equipment; duplex orientation can be adjusted using standard duplex adapters or by swapping connector positions if required.

Usage recommendations

Inspect and clean connectors with fiber cleaning tools before installation, avoid tight bends or high mechanical stress, and store unused ends with protective caps. Use LSZH cabling in enclosed or public spaces where reduced smoke and toxic emission is required by local regulations or safety policies. Test the assembled link with appropriate certifiers or optical power meters to verify loss and performance meets the required standards before putting the link into production.
