Fiber optic patch cord Electro Base SC to LC MM OM3 25 m LSZH

Electro Base fiber optic patch cord SC to LC MM OM3 25 m LSZH is a multimode fiber jumper designed for high-speed local networks and data center interconnects. The cable features an SC connector on one end and an LC connector on the other, multimode OM3 fiber optimized for 850 nm VCSEL sources, and a 25-meter jacket with low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) material for reduced toxic emissions in confined spaces. The product is intended for short- to medium-distance optical links where reliable modal bandwidth and consistent insertion loss are required.

Advantages

The patch cord delivers stable optical performance in multimode environments, with OM3 grading that supports 10 Gbit/s and higher short-range connections. Its mixed connector configuration (SC to LC) provides compatibility between different equipment types and panel terminations without additional adapters. The LSZH jacket enhances safety in public, commercial, and indoor installations by minimizing smoke and halogen release in case of fire. The 25 m length offers flexible routing options across racks and rooms while maintaining manageable attenuation for multimode links.

Suitable for

• Data center short-reach trunking and equipment interconnects
• Enterprise LAN backbone links and patching panels
• Server-to-switch connections and SAN zones
• Telecommunications rooms and structured cabling installations

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode OM3
• Connector A: SC (simplex)
• Connector B: LC (simplex)
• Length: 25 meters
• Jacket material: LSZH (low smoke zero halogen)
• Typical application wavelength: 850 nm (VCSEL-optimized)
• Assembly: Factory-terminated polished connectors

How to use

Route the patch cord between the SC-terminated panel or device port and the LC port on the target equipment, keeping bend radii within the fiber manufacturer’s recommendations to avoid microbending loss. Clean connector endfaces before mating using appropriate fiber cleaning tools or wipes to ensure low insertion loss. Insert connectors until a positive click or seating is felt; avoid excessive force when connecting or disconnecting. Secure the cable along racks or trays to prevent strain on terminations and maintain cable management to reduce stress and bend points.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, verify link budget and modal bandwidth requirements for OM3 fiber in your network design. Use dust caps when connectors are not in use, perform regular endface inspections, and avoid tight bends or kinks. Choose LSZH-jacketed cables in enclosed or public spaces where low smoke and halogen-free materials are required by safety regulations.

Electro Base SC to LC OM3 25 m LSZH patch cord is a practical choice when mixing SC and LC terminations in multimode environments and where safety-conscious cabling materials are specified.
