InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC to ST 50/125µm OM3 0.5m

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC to ST 50/125µm OM3 0.5m is a reliable fiber optic patch cable engineered for high-speed data transmission in modern network environments. Designed to connect various networking hardware components efficiently, this multimode duplex cable ensures stable signal integrity over short distances. Featuring high-quality LC and ST connectors, it integrates smoothly into existing fiber infrastructures within enterprise networks, server rooms, and telecommunication facilities.

Advantages

This optical patch cable utilizes OM3 multimode fiber technology, making it well-suited for high-bandwidth 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. Each cable comes with an individual test report, verifying its performance and quality before deployment. The compact 0.5-meter length helps reduce cable clutter in high-density patching areas like rack cabinets and patch panels.

Suitable for

• Connecting network switches and routers in data centers
• Linking fiber transceivers to patch panels
• Short-distance telecommunication wiring
• Enterprise local area networks requiring OM3 performance

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not suitable for long-distance outdoor runs or connections requiring lengths significantly greater than 0.5 meters. Additionally, systems utilizing single-mode fiber infrastructure will require compatible single-mode cabling instead of this multimode OM3 solution.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.5 meters
• Fiber type: Multimode 50/125µm OM3
• Connector 1: LC male
• Connector 2: ST male
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Duplex capability: Full duplex
• Color: Turquoise / Aqua

How to use

Before installation, inspect the fiber optic connectors for any dust or debris, and clean them using appropriate optical cleaning tools if necessary. Carefully align the LC connector with the corresponding port on your network device or transceiver and push until it clicks into place. Similarly, insert the ST connector into the target port and secure it by twisting the bayonet locking mechanism. Route the cable gently, avoiding sharp bends or excessive pulling force to maintain optimal signal performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the connector types required by your network equipment to ensure compatibility with LC and ST interfaces.
• Measure the precise distance between devices to confirm that the 0.5-meter length is sufficient without creating tension.
• Check whether your network infrastructure supports OM3 multimode fiber specifications.

Usage recommendations

Always maintain the manufacturer's recommended minimum bend radius and avoid pinching the cable with zip ties to preserve signal integrity and prevent damage to the internal glass fibers.
