InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable SC/SC 50/125µm OM3 20m 2x SC to 2x SC

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable SC/SC 50/125µm OM3 20m 2x SC to 2x SC is a high-performance multi-mode patch cord designed to facilitate reliable high-speed data transmission across local area networks, data centers, and telecommunication infrastructures. Measuring 20 meters in length, this fiber optic cable provides adequate reach for connecting network switches, routers, and other compatible optical hardware over medium distances. Built with precision and quality materials, it ensures minimal signal attenuation and dependable performance for demanding network environments.

Advantages

This OM3 duplex fiber optic cable supports high data rates, making it suitable for bandwidth-intensive applications such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The inclusion of low smoke zero halogen jacket material enhances safety by minimizing toxic and corrosive gases in the event of a fire, rendering the cable appropriate for use in confined or sensitive public spaces. With standardized 2x SC connectors on both ends, the patch cord enables secure and straightforward connections without requiring specialized adaptation.

Suitable for

• Connecting network switches and routers in enterprise environments
• Data center structured cabling and server interconnections
• Telecommunication infrastructure setups requiring multi-mode fiber
• High-speed local area network deployments over a 20-meter distance

This cable may not be suitable for long-distance telecommunications spanning kilometers, as multi-mode OM3 fiber is specifically engineered for shorter-range campus and intra-building links. Additionally, it cannot be used with equipment that requires single-mode fiber or non-SC connector interfaces without appropriate converters or adapters.

Key specifications

• Fiber optic type: OM3 multi-mode
• Core diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connectors: 2x SC male to 2x SC male
• Duplex support: Full duplex
• Jacket material: Low smoke zero halogen LSZH
• Cable diameter: 3.0 mm per sub-cable
• Color: Turquoise / Aqua

How to use

Before installation, inspect the SC connectors for any dust or debris and use appropriate optical cleaning tools if necessary. Carefully align the SC connector plug with the port on your network device and push straight in until a click is heard, ensuring a secure physical connection. Route the 20-meter cable along designated cable trays or pathways, avoiding sharp bends, excessive tension, or heavy crushing forces that could damage the internal glass fibers.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network hardware features standard SC optical ports
• Check that the required distance between devices does not exceed the 20-meter cable length
• Confirm that your system architecture utilizes multi-mode 50/125µm OM3 fiber specifications
• Assess environmental safety requirements to ensure LSZH jacket compliance is beneficial for your installation site

Usage recommendations: Always maintain the manufacturer's specified minimum bend radius during installation to prevent signal degradation or fiber breakage. Keep protective dust caps on the SC connectors until the exact moment of plugging into the equipment ports.
