Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/LC InLine 88542O 50/125µm OM3 2m

The InLine Fiber Optical Duplex Cable LC/LC 50/125µm OM3 2m is a multimode fiber patch cable designed for reliable high-speed data links in structured cabling and network equipment. With LC connectors on both ends in a duplex configuration and a 50/125 µm core/cladding ratio conforming to OM3 specifications, this 2 m cable supports short to medium reach connections where low attenuation and tight modality are required. The product is intended for use in data centers, server rooms and communications closets where compact connectors and consistent optical performance are needed.

Advantages

This LC/LC duplex fiber cable provides stable full-duplex transmission with low insertion loss and return loss typical of OM3 multimode fibers. The 50/125 µm core supports laser-optimized multimode transmission, enabling higher bandwidth and reduced modal dispersion compared with older multimode grades. The 2 m length offers flexibility for rack and cabinet interconnects while minimizing excess cable management challenges. LC connectors provide small form-factor termination compatible with a wide range of transceivers and patch panels.

Suitable for

• Short to medium distance multimode fiber connections in data centers
• Patch panel to switch or transceiver interconnects using LC ports
• High-bandwidth applications requiring OM3 performance
• Server room, telecom closet and equipment rack cabling

Key specifications

• Fiber type: Multimode, OM3
• Core/cladding diameter: 50/125 µm
• Connector type: LC to LC, duplex
• Length: 2 m
• Transmission: Full duplex
• Typical use: Patch cable for optical networking

How to use

Install the LC/LC duplex cable by aligning and inserting each LC connector into the corresponding LC port on devices such as switches, transceivers or patch panels. Ensure connectors are clean and free of dust before mating to minimize insertion loss. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends — maintain the manufacturer-recommended minimum bend radius for multimode fiber — and secure with appropriate cable management to prevent strain. For duplex operation, match polarity according to your equipment’s requirements so transmit and receive channels align correctly.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect and clean LC connector endfaces with approved fiber cleaning tools before connection. Use the 2 m length for intra-rack or short inter-rack links to reduce slack and maintain neat cabling. For higher distances or single-mode requirements, select an appropriate fiber type and grade matching the link budget and transceiver specifications.
