Fiber optic patch cable electro base SC/UPC–SC/UPC multimode OM3 50/125 duplex 3.0 mm LSZH Aqua 0.5 m

electro base multimode fiber optic patch cable with SC/UPC connectors at both ends provides a short, reliable duplex link for data centers, server rooms and network closets. The cable uses OM3 50/125 µm multimode fiber optimized for short-range high-speed transmission and is built with a 3.0 mm LSZH jacket in aqua color. At 0.5 m length this patch cord is intended for connecting switches, patch panels and fiber enclosures where space is limited and performance consistency is required.

Advantages

The OM3 multimode fiber supports higher modal bandwidth compared with lower-grade multimode fibers, enabling improved performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short distances. SC/UPC connectors ensure low insertion loss and stable mating with standardized SC ports. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket reduces toxic and corrosive gas emission in case of fire, making the cable suitable for indoor use in enclosed environments. The duplex configuration and color coding simplify identification and installation in dense cabling setups.

How to use

Verify that both connected devices have compatible SC ports and that equipment is powered down or set to safe connection procedures per your site guidelines. Align and insert each SC/UPC connector until it latches; ensure the duplex cable orientation matches transmit and receive port mapping. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends; maintain bend radius as recommended by the fiber manufacturer to prevent increased loss. After installation, perform basic optical tests (visual inspection, continuity test, and insertion loss measurement) to confirm signal integrity.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the patch cable by the connector bodies where possible, avoid pulling on the jacket to prevent strain on ferrules. Maintain a bend radius of at least 10× the cable outer diameter (approximately 30 mm) during installation and routing. Use labeled patch panels and color coding to keep duplex pairs organized and reduce the risk of incorrect connections.
