Optical patch cord electro base SC to LC multimode OM3 20 m LSZH

Optical patch cord by electro base with SC connector on one end and LC on the other provides a 20 metre multimode OM3 fiber link with an LSZH jacket. This SC to LC cable is intended for high-speed short-range connections in data centres, telecom cabinets and enterprise network infrastructure. The multimode OM3 fiber supports laser-optimized performance for 10GbE and shorter-reach 40/100GbE links, while the LSZH outer sheath reduces smoke and toxic gas emission in the event of fire.

Advantages

The patch cord combines SC and LC terminations to enable flexible connection between equipment with different port types without adapters. Multimode OM3 fibre provides enhanced bandwidth over standard multimode options for reliable optical transmission at typical data centre distances. The 20 m length suits structured cabling runs and cross-connections, and the LSZH jacket meets safety requirements for installations where low smoke and zero halogen characteristics are required. Connectors are pre-assembled and polished for consistent insertion loss and easy installation.

Suitable for

• Short-range high-speed links in data centres
• Interconnects in telecom cabinets and racks
• Patch panels and cross-connects in enterprise networks
• Environments requiring low smoke zero halogen cabling

Key specifications

• Connector types: SC (one end) to LC (other end)
• Fiber type: Multimode OM3
• Length: 20 m
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Polish type: factory-polished connectors for low insertion loss
• Transmission: optimized for 10GbE and short-reach 40/100GbE applications

How to use

Inspect connectors before use to ensure endfaces are clean and undamaged. Route the 20 m SC–LC patch cord through cable management paths, avoiding sharp bends and excessive tension. Insert the SC connector into the SC adapter or device port until it latches, and insert the LC connector into the corresponding LC port until it clicks. Verify optical link continuity and power levels with appropriate test equipment to confirm signal integrity.

Usage recommendations

Use a fibre cleaning tool or lint-free wipes with approved cleaning solution before making connections. Maintain bend radius above manufacturer minimum (typically 10× cable diameter) and secure the cable with cable ties without over-compressing the jacket. Store unused ends with dust caps to protect connector endfaces.
