Fibre optic cable Alcasa 10m ST/LC

The Alcasa 10m ST/LC fibre optic cable by Good Connections is a 10-metre multimode OM3 link with a 50 µm core diameter designed for full duplex data transmission. It pairs an ST connector on one end with an LC connector on the other, providing compatibility with equipment that uses these standard interfaces. The cable is intended for short- to medium-distance high-speed connections where low attenuation and consistent optical performance are required.

Advantages

This OM3 fibre cable delivers stable high-bandwidth transmission suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed optical links within data centers and campus networks. The 50 µm core supports reliable modal behavior for multimode systems, while the ST and LC connectors offer durable mating and straightforward installation in patch panels and networking devices. The 10 m length gives flexibility for rack-to-rack or room-to-room connections without intermediate splices, reducing potential signal loss.

Suitable for

• Patch connections between network switches and transceivers in data centers
• Connections between servers and storage systems requiring full duplex links
• Backbone or horizontal cabling in office and campus environments
• High-performance computing clusters and test lab setups

Key specifications

• Fibre type: Multimode OM3
• Core diameter: 50 µm
• Length: 10 metres
• Connector A: ST (bayonet)
• Connector B: LC (small form factor)
• Transmission: Full duplex
• Typical application: Short- to medium-range optical links (10GbE capable)

How to use

Inspect connector endfaces for dust or debris before installation and clean with appropriate fibre cleaning tools if necessary. Connect the ST end to devices or patch panels that accept the ST bayonet-style connector and the LC end to compatible transceivers or ports. Ensure both ends are properly seated and secured to avoid microbending or tension on the cable; route the cable avoiding sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. For best performance, avoid tight coils and secure the cable with soft ties or cable management trays.

Usage recommendations

Use OM3-rated transceivers and ensure patch panel ports match the ST and LC interfaces. Periodically inspect and clean connectors to maintain low insertion loss. For runs longer than recommended distances for multimode OM3 at required data rates, consider upgrading to higher-performance multimode or singlemode solutions.
