Equip LC/LC Fiber Optic Patch Cable, OM3, Duplex, 35m

The Equip LC/LC Fiber Optic Patch Cable is a high-performance OM3 multimode duplex cable engineered for reliable, high-speed data transmission. With a generous length of 35 meters and a precision-engineered 50/125 µm core, this cable is designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern network infrastructures, including data centers and enterprise environments. The cable features high-quality LC connectors on both ends, ensuring a secure and stable connection for your networking hardware.

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 an added layer of safety for indoor installations by reducing toxic emissions in the event of fire. Furthermore, the OM3 specification supports high-speed 10G Ethernet transmission, making it a future-proof solution for bandwidth-intensive applications. Its robust duplex design ensures efficient bidirectional data flow, maintaining consistent performance across your network.

Suitable for

• High-speed 10G Ethernet networking
• Data center server-to-switch connections
• Structured cabling systems
• Enterprise local area networks (LAN)

When it may not be suitable

This cable is designed for multimode applications and is not compatible with single-mode fiber infrastructure. If your network requires long-distance transmission exceeding the capabilities of OM3 fiber, or if you are using equipment with different connector types such as SC or ST, this cable will not be suitable without the use of appropriate adapters or converters.

Key specifications

• Fiber type: OM3 Multimode
• Cable length: 35 meters
• Connector type: LC to LC
• Core diameter: 50/125 µm
• Data rate: Up to 10 Gbit/s
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Configuration: Full duplex
• Color: Aqua

How to use

To install the cable, carefully remove the protective dust caps from the LC connectors. Align the connector with the corresponding port on your network switch, transceiver, or server patch panel. Gently insert the connector until you hear a distinct click, which indicates that the locking mechanism is engaged. Ensure that the cable is routed with appropriate bend radii to prevent signal degradation or physical damage to the fiber core. When disconnecting, press the release tab on the LC connector before pulling it straight out of the port.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your networking equipment supports LC interface connections.
• Ensure that your transceivers are compatible with OM3 multimode fiber.
• Measure the required distance to confirm that 35 meters is sufficient for your installation path.
• Check if your local building codes require LSZH-rated cabling for indoor installations.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, always keep the connector end-faces clean and free of dust or oils. Use a fiber optic cleaning tool before each connection to ensure the best possible signal quality. Avoid sharp bends or heavy pressure on the cable jacket to maintain the integrity of the internal glass fibers.
