Equip LC/LC Fiber Optic Patch Cable, OM3, 7.5m, Multimode Duplex

The Equip LC/LC Fiber Optic Patch Cable is a high-performance OM3 multimode duplex cable engineered for reliable and efficient data transmission. Measuring 7.5 meters in length, this cable features a 50/125 µm core diameter and is terminated with precision LC connectors on both ends, ensuring seamless integration into modern networking infrastructures.

Advantages

This fiber optic cable offers exceptional signal integrity thanks to its high-quality ceramic ferrule connectors, which minimize insertion loss. The use of Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket material provides enhanced safety for indoor environments by reducing toxic emissions in the event of fire. Designed to support 10G Ethernet transmission rates, this cable is a robust solution for high-speed connectivity requirements in professional settings.

Suitable for

• Connecting network switches and servers
• High-speed data center networking
• Enterprise structured cabling systems
• Optical transceiver interconnections

When it may not be suitable

This cable is designed for multimode applications and will not function with single-mode fiber equipment. It is intended for indoor use and is not suitable for harsh outdoor environments or direct burial installations.

How to use

To install the cable, carefully remove the protective dust caps from the LC connectors. Align the connector with the port on your networking device, such as a switch or transceiver, and insert it until you hear a click. Ensure the cable is not bent beyond its minimum bend radius to maintain optimal signal performance. When disconnecting, gently press the release mechanism on the LC connector before pulling it out of the port.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your networking hardware supports LC interface connections.
• Ensure that your existing infrastructure is compatible with OM3 multimode fiber.
• Check the required cable length to ensure 7.5 meters is sufficient for your setup.
• Confirm that your environment requires LSZH-rated cabling for safety compliance.

Usage recommendations

Always keep the connector tips clean and free of dust or oils to prevent signal degradation. Use a fiber optic cleaning tool if necessary and replace dust caps whenever the cable is not connected to a device.
