Optical patch cord electro base SC/SC MM OM3 15 m LSZH

The optical patch cord from electro base features SC to SC connectors and a multimode OM3 fiber designed for reliable short- to medium-distance data transmission. With a 15 m length and an LSZH (low-smoke zero-halogen) outer jacket, this cable is intended for structured cabling in data centres, LAN environments and telecom rooms where reduced smoke and halogen emissions are required. The cable supports multimode link performance and straightforward insertion into SC ports on switches, patch panels and transceivers.

Advantages

The multimode OM3 fiber offers improved bandwidth for VCSEL-based sources and is optimized for high-speed Ethernet links over short distances. SC push-pull connectors provide a stable mechanical fit and easy installation in standard duplex ports. The LSZH jacket minimizes toxic fumes and corrosive gases in the event of fire, improving safety in enclosed spaces and cable trays. The 15 m length delivers flexibility for rack-to-rack and room-to-room connections without excessive slack.

Suitable for

• Data centre interconnects and rack-to-rack cabling
• LAN backbone and horizontal cabling within buildings
• Connecting switches, patch panels and optical transceivers
• Short- to medium-distance high-speed multimode links (e.g., 10G/40G over OM3 where applicable)

Key specifications

• Connector type: SC to SC duplex
• Fiber type: Multimode OM3
• Length: 15 m
• Jacket material: LSZH (low-smoke zero-halogen)
• Polish/connector finish: factory-terminated and polished

How to use

Inspect both connector endfaces for cleanliness before installation and clean with appropriate optical cleaning tools if contamination is present. Align the SC connectors with equipment ports and insert until the latch engages; avoid excessive bending of the fiber and maintain minimum bend radius as specified for multimode OM3 cable. Route the cable through cable management paths or trays to prevent mechanical stress and secure excess length with velcro or cable ties in a non-compressive manner. Re-check signal levels after installation to confirm link performance.

Usage recommendations

Store and handle the cable in a dry, dust-free environment; avoid sharp bends and repeated flexing. For best optical performance, keep connector endfaces covered when not in use and follow your equipment manufacturer’s guidelines for multimode OM3 links and transceiver compatibility.
